| AirTouch 5 console/AC | Not working Local | climate.ac fails with KeyError when AC is off in Intelligent Auto fan modeSaved copyThe problem When the AC is switched off at the AirTouch 5 wall console, the console reports the AC fan speed as AcFanSpeed.NOT_AVAILABLE (15). This value is not in AC_FAN_SPEED_TO_FAN_SPEED in climate.py, so _async_update_attrs raises KeyError. Effects: - The AC climate entity stops updating from the moment the AC is switched off. - On any integration reload or HA restart while the AC is off, the AC entity fails to be added at all ("Error adding entity climate.ac"). - It cannot recover until the AC is switched back on at the console. Zone climate entities and damper covers are unaffected. … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #183859 · 2026-10 |
