HomeKit Automation - timed automation not turning on device

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Describe the bug

Hi, to share some positive feedback, let me preface this first with: "I love this plugin!". My dumb pre-2010-or-so AC (Fujitsu ASU12RQ) that was forced on me by my apartment building is now alive and well in HomeKit through a connected Broadlink RM4 Pro (set up as heater/cooler) - no more picking up remote, walking to the AC, pointing, clicking, putting back the remote.

Now to the part I noticed not working as expected: I've set up my AC to start early morning and warm up my apartment. However I suspect the "turnOnWhenOff" logic isn't working correctly if run through an automation only.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Setup as described above.
  2. Setup timed automation (set temperature to x at time y)
  3. Turn off AC unit
  4. Wait for automation to play
  5. Notice: The AC unit isn't turned on, the temperature is sent according to logs though

Expected behavior

The behavior should be the same as when manually controlling the AC unit: When the automation time window is reached, turn on the unit (given turnOnWhenOff is true), then send the temperature.
