Mode and preset selection for Haier Aircons not working

[szczepuz999]

Describe the bug
till yesterday all was working fine, but now when I am trying to select preset mode "iot_heat" I am getting this error:

websocket_api script: Error executing script. Unexpected error for call_service at pos 1: Allowed values: ['2', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8'] But was: 0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
in HA go to Developer settings and trigger Action - Climate: Set preset mode with value iot_heat

Expected behavior
the preset heating shall be set, instead I am getting unknown error
I was thinking that it was caused by HA itself but I did the same thing with Tuya Thermostat (set HVAC preset/mode) and all is ok with this. So seems that it is only related to way how Haier controls the appliance mode

Same problem,
Used to work before, yesterday I made the upgrade from HA Core 2024.11.1 to 2024.11.3 and since then, error I get this error in hon

[Cornago]

Same problem.
with HA core v2023.11.1 works correctly but after update to v2024.11.2 does not work.
when i try to turn off my air conditioning, HA reports following error:
climate/set_hvac_mode Allowed values: ['2', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8'] But was: 0

Same problem here :-)

Same here, airco does turn off though. But HA still shows as 'on'

Same problem, hope you could take a look at it @Andre0512

@Andre0512 do we need to start looking for an other integration?

Tried the Givroux one, but it's missing sensors and entities.

Could you please let us all know.

[RenanAz]

Same issue here with AS35X and AS50XCAHRA

[wbmk78]

Same problem using HA 14.1 and core 2024.12.5

I'm having the same problem, but I'm not sure if this is related to an HA upgrade. I'm still running HA V2024.10.3 in a docker container that does not auto update. Both HON en PYHON are not updated since august 2024 and Hacks is from september.

Is it possible that the Haier API is returning a different return code for turning off? I think that a 0 is a normal return code for this state. According to the Apple App store there are a serie of small bugfixes done on the Hon APP and in november they updated from 2.13 to 2.14.

I looked in the code but I can't find the valid enum values, I think if we update the enum value for turning off to the correct value instead of 0 it will be fixed.

I encountered the issue with turning off the AC using the hon integration and found a solution that works for me. The fix involves modifying the climate.py file:

Replace:

self._device.sync_command("stopProgram", "settings")

With:

self._device.settings["settings.onOffStatus"].value = "0"

This resolves the problem and ensures the AC turns off correctly.

For anyone interested, I’ve shared my patched version of the integration here:

Please note that this fork is not actively maintained. I hope this helps others facing the same issue!

[rpania]

works for me too, great solution @sgmckay25
Thanksss

[danyrd92]

your fix work @sgmckay25 thanks!!!

But I continue with this problem when I want to define a custom program (favorite program in hOn app) do you guys have the same error?

[RenanAz]

Thanks for the fix! There are 2 instances of the original string so be sure to replace both.

[danyrd92]

Can someone please confirm if the fix allows starting custom programs on an air conditioner?
