Unresponsiveness initial_hvac_mode: "off"

[Stefano0042]

Despite initial hvac_mode: is set to "off" after every new ha restart it remain on the old state.
The same issue is involving target_temp: value.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Restart Home Assistant
OS: Raspberry PI OS
All the browser
HA ver.: core-2021.11.5

Hello, this is on purpose, the "restore" feature of the integration is called after HA restart to set all the main parameters to their last known states. Otherwise in case of HA crash with a restart while you're away the heating system would be stuck to off. This setting is used only when there is no old state data in the database.

If you really need the thermostat to be forced to off (no regulation, no heating) after HA restart, you may use an automation triggered by the HA boot event.

Hello @Stefano0042, please try this beta release : https://github.com/ScratMan/HASmartThermostat/releases/tag/2021.12.2-beta1

Hello @ScratMan, I like this way, brilliant solution! I wonder if we can manage "target_temp: " the same way ( ...rhetorical question :):) ).

Hi @ScratMan, I tried to adjust "target_temp:" by myself, but as it is a mix of Generic Thermostat bunch of inherited program lines and new programming, is not so easy to deal with at my current status of python knowledge.

Try v2021.12.2-beta3 😉

Hi @ScratMan I've got it (-352... 354). It works as expected! Thank you again.

Hello, thank you for your fast reply, but it seem to be a misconception on my eyes, if we want the heating to be on after a restart or crash:
initial_hvac_mode: "heat"
target_temp: ...desired temp °C
