suggestion: Auto temperature

[antst]

It would be nice if there were way to force back to "auto" temperature from the schedule.

@antst actually it is, Double click or double tap the temperature (the big number)

@SergiuToporjinschi your node is excellent.
Is it possible to reset the Auto mode by a message?
Send msg.payload.isUserCustom = false doesn´t work.

[SergiuToporjinschi]

@fromCologne No is not possible, but I will come back to this project soon and I can implement this.

Double tap doesn't seem to work on my iPhone. When I scroll through my controllers I often accidentially move the slider and change the target temperature. Double tap on the target temperature does not work and I need to set it back with the slider. Would it be possible to reset the target value whenever changed from locked to unlocked? Otherwise I will just add a button to reset a single or all heater nodes with the auto mode message.

[SergiuToporjinschi]

slide it, it should work on doing a slide to right or to left;

@HellGL I don't have an iphone, I hate Apple :)

+1, need a way to put the the program back to "auto"
use case : go to manual, lower temperature when a window is open and resume to auto-schedule when window is closed.

+1 i also need a way to go back to "auto" via an input.
I'm trying to implement the heater in Home assistant as a mqtt HVAC , the only option i'm missing is the "get back to auto from isUserCustom", so i cannot undo my user set temp, just wait until next schedule.

I found a partial resolve to resetting the temperature to "Auto". Just get the output from this heater node, then extract the current schedule ("msg.payload.currentSchedule.temp") , then send it to the heater input as (userTargetValue).
What it does, is basically resetting the temperature to your current calendar .As I said, it is a partial resolve, because with this mode you CANNOT set the LOCKED mode, because "isUserCustom" remains true . So if you lock it and use this, you will lock the "currentSchedule" even on the next schedule.
I managed to make this heater as a mqtt HVAC for my home assistant by splitting the heater payload object , and creating mqtt topics for the split parts.
