[FEATURE] Separate Min/Max setting for heating and cooling about esp32-faikin HOT 8 CLOSED

Surely one min/max that covers the whole range will work?

from esp32-faikin.

It doesn’t. Thats what I tried to explain above.
Setting min/max that covers the entire range will cause faikin to issue invalid setpoints every 5s in cooling mode

OK sorry, I looked at this and it is a nuisance to make the various bits work with changing min/max, especially when the unit can be set in "auto".

But just limiting the set points we do in auto may be relatively simple. I'll see what I can come up with.

OK maybe if I add a tcoolmin and a theatmax as alternative for the set point control logic?

That should do it, yes?

I have made a beta release with that, let me know if it covers what you need.

Just tested the beta and it appears to work as you intended. The automode no longer goes bonkers. I understand that it is a compromise to avoid a whole overhaul of your code.

When documenting these settings it might be worth noting that these settings do not limit the setpoint a user can enter. So a user can request a temperature < tcoolmin but the unit will never be able to reach that.

Thank you for implementing this!

Oh, since you mentioned the difficulties when the unit can be set to auto. My unit accepts a range of 18-30 when set to auto. So tcoolmin to theatmax for auto.

I have said it is for daikin auto mode in the help.
