Generic Thermostat: Unclear reference to "Keep alive" option, crammed entry field
Opened this issue · 4 comments
The problem
When setting up a Generic Thermostat as a Helper there is the Minimum cycle duration setting at the bottom:
The explantion contains this sentence:
"This option will be ignored if the keep alive option is set."
It is unclear what this is referring to as there is no such option in the dialog itself.
Probably leftover from older settings, it's not present on the Generic Hygrostat, BTW.
On Desktop the entry field for the time is already crammed and on mobile this is getting unusable:
What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
2024.10.3
Well, the docs explain that you could set that keep_alive option in YAML , but as it's not in the dialog of the Generic Thermostat we do have a bug here.
The keep alive option needs to be added here so the user can set it, or that sentence needs to read:
"This option will be ignored if the keep alive option is set using YAML."
Further, the ui glitch should be reported to the frontend repository, thx 👍
Not just the keep_alive option missing, but many other useful settings, eg. min_temp, max_temp values (the defaults are a bit too broad, making the current temperature and setpoint barely move on the half-circle dial of the thermostat). I hope these gets exposed in an update.
