How to set_hvac_mode?

[mhgoedings]

Hi all,
First of all I like to complement jwillemsen for this great integration. Install and config worked like a charm, well done!
I have setup a Thermostat card and want to use that one to switch from heating/cooling into cooling mode.
When I click the cooling mode i get the following error 'Could not call service climate/set_hvac_mode . Communication failed! Status: 400'. Any suggestions for this? Should I create a seperate service?

Please enable debug logging (see readme) and attach the device diagnostics and the log here

I did update to v4.1.7 and now get a slightly different error. 'Can't call climate/set_hvac_mode. 'Response' object has no attribute 'txt''
Attached are the two files again.

Wil now try the Onecta App per your suggestion

The attribute error is my mistake, there is a new v4.1.8 release

I cannot change climate control modus per app. It is set to control mode External Room thermostat and setpoint mode 'weather dependent'

The attribute error is my mistake, there is a new v4.1.8 release

will update and retry

[jwillemsen]

Ok, so the error is really that in HA you think you can change it, but it is non-settable.

I think we got our answer ;-)

'Kan service climate/set_hvac_mode niet aanroepen. Communication failed! Status: 400 {"code":"READ_ONLY_CHARACTERISTIC","message":"Characteristic is read-only and therefore can not be set"}

[jwillemsen]

There is a new release, see https://github.com/jwillemsen/daikin_onecta/releases/tag/v4.1.9, it should only export the current auto hvac mode and not show the cool/heat options

[mhgoedings]

Ok, will install this one!

Many thanks for your great support.
