ClimateEntityFeature

[maxm77-RC]

Hi - I have the warmup integration installed and get the following "warning". Looked it up on AI and got the following answer:

Warning

Logger: homeassistant.components.climate
Source: components/climate/init.py:371
integration: Climate (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 13:33:51 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 13:33:51

Entity None (<class 'custom_components.warmup.climate.WarmupThermostat'>) implements HVACMode(s): heat, auto, off and therefore implicitly supports the turn_on/turn_off methods without setting the proper ClimateEntityFeature. Please create a bug report at https://github.com/ha-warmup/warmup/issues/

AI Answer

This warning message is related to the custom Warmup integration for climate control in Home Assistant. Here's what it means:
The warning is coming from the climate component in Home Assistant.
It's specifically about an entity of the WarmupThermostat class from the custom Warmup integration.
The issue is that this entity supports multiple HVAC modes (heat, auto, off) which implicitly means it can be turned on and off.
However, the entity hasn't properly set the ClimateEntityFeature to indicate that it supports these functions.
This is likely a minor oversight in the code of the custom integration.
The warning suggests that this should be reported as a bug to the developers of the Warmup integration. Here's what this means for you:
Your Warmup thermostat is likely still functioning, but it's not fully compliant with Home Assistant's expected implementation.
There might be some inconsistencies in how the thermostat appears or functions in the Home Assistant interface.
To help improve the integration, you could report this issue to the Warmup integration's GitHub repository: https://github.com/ha-warmup/warmup/issues/
When reporting, you could include this warning message and any other relevant information about your setup. This will help the developers address the issue and improve the integration for all users.

Thank you for reporting this issue @maxm77-RC

This follows on from the New Features announced in January that are now reaching a planned deprecation point.

I can understand why you might choose to seek an AI answer personally, to try and augment your understanding of a situation. However I would personally recommend against including such output in Github issue reports, as they are unlikely to add any real value for the majority of the audience, and only hide the valuable detail like actual error messages and symptoms you experience directly.

The resolution to this was Prereleased earlier this year #72, but not followed up with a release to production. As project maintainers it was our oversight to leave this so overdue, apologies – I will push into production when I get a moment to spare. In the meantime you may take the prerelease version yourself if you wish, by using the HACS option show beta versions.

Noted re AI. Thanks for the pre-release details :-)

Release 2024.3.6 will no appear in production as well as prerelease, and should have resolved this issue.

Seems to have done the trick. Many thanks.
