Mr Cool Unable to turn on Turbo Mode

[krazykrivda]

Mr Cool does not activate turbo mode from this plugin successfully. I hear my indoor unit beep after pressing turbo, but the setting doesn't stay.

Call and response for changing the target temp, showing that Turbo is on:

May be unrelated, but I've noticed the native MRCOOL SmartHVAC app from MRCOOL, when pressing the Turbo button has prompted with an error saying something like "Turbo mode from app not supported for this unit" and then it actually removes the Turbo button from the device's menu (permanently it seems.) Also, the Turbo function definitely works with the unit, as when I first installed, the pressing the Turbo button worked fine and the unit ramped up as usual.

May just be a bug in the native app, so sorry for the extra noise on this if that is the case, but thought any extra info here might help diagnose/troubleshoot the issue. Also, this is with the new Cassette ceiling-mount units, but I don't think that should really matter since the wifi module, software, etc is all the same to the wall mount units.

EDIT: I'll also try using the Turbo function from the https://home.cielowigle.com web app (allows logging in with MRCOOL SmartHVAC credentials) and see if I get any errors when trying to enable Turbo function.

I also have a MrCool branded mini split and ran in to the same issue last summer of not being able to control the turbo function on the unit.

I found the issue to be related to Line 156 in the cielohomedevice.py file.

'self._send_msg(action, "turbo", "on/off")`

My fix was to take that line and replace with this.

self._send_msg(action, "turbo", value)

[krazykrivda]

I can confirm this change has fixed the Turbo functionality for me.
Have you had to redo this after every update?

Hopefully this can be updated in the branch so that it always functions in future updates (unless this fix breaks it for others of course)

[bodyscape]

It still work for Cielo uses... But i need a way to identify your device to change the behaviour only mrcool. What is your url connection?

Where can I find this?

[bodyscape]

Maybe not the url, the device model maybe. Something i can hook a different behavior when it's Mr Cool device...

[bodyscape]

i'll cook something for the next version. ;)

[bodyscape]

@krazykrivda try version 1.7.7

[SenatorChimera]

It didn't work for me; I needed to tweak the line:
if self.get_device_type_version() != "BI03":

my version is BI04 and not BI03.

[bodyscape]

I'll fix it in the next version. ;)
