| AirTouch 4 AC unit | Partly works Local | AC target temperature unsupported; only temperature-sensor zones settableSaved copy… @nathanhaigh, there's no support currently for setting the temperature of an AC - the plugin only supports setting the temperature of temperature sensor enabled airtouch zones. This could be fixed by removing the supports target temperature flag from the AC object or implementing support for setting temperatures of acs. As far as I can remember its an entirely separate call to the airtouch so would need to be implemented in the airtouch4pyapi library as well.

| AirTouch 4 zone thermostats | Partly works Local | Partly in Home Room thermostats showed cooling only when main mode was heating | Zone thermostats ignored heating mode; fixed in the integrationSaved copy… comment 'It was clear from the logs that it's a problem with the integration and not HomeKit itself' - looking through the provided logs I definitely see Airtouch related errors, but none that corresponds to the particular issue raised above around groups showing as 'cooling' - in the Airtouch4 integration the groups do not display any kind of heating/cooling indicator (as lovelace cards anyway) zones only have two states, fan only and off If you could help me understand what I've missed I would appreciate the help!

| Airtouch4 room thermostats | Not working | Broken in Home Room thermostats show only cooling when main mode is heating | Zone thermostats don't follow main heating mode in HomeSaved copyThe problem I use the HomeKit bridge to add Airtouch4 AC to my HomeKit setup. The overall experience works well except for one annoying issue. When the main mode of AC unit (or thermostat) is changed to heating, the individual rooms do not reflect this change. Each room 'thermostat' displays only cooling no matter what mode I choose.
