Core: Tuya / Smart Life heater has "unknown" state

[airens]

Home Assistant release with the issue:
0.96.2
Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):
Hass.io
Component/platform:
Tuya

Description of problem:
In addition to #25334 issue, i've got another problem with my BHT-002 thermostat. For some reason, the device doesn't report it's state, so, I don't know if it's turned on or off, which is crucial for me

Traceback (if applicable):

Have no logs

[airens]

Finally, I found out, that the device reports "off" state when it's turned off and "unknown" when it's on, so that's enough to use in automations.

Why this issue is closed? The problem persist. The status is unknown. Before 0.96 the status was correct

[airens]

Than leaving it open

Having the same issues on 0.98.1, the temperature value is also multiplied by 2.

[antoweb]

Hi for temperature multiplied by 2 is easy to fix: locate your climate.py in tuya folder than replace this:

@property
def current_temperature(self):
    """Return the current temperature."""
    return self.tuya.current_temperature()

Wiht following:

@property
def current_temperature(self):
    temp = float(self.tuya.current_temperature())/2
    return temp

Than restart ha

I'm also having the same issue.

When off -> Status is correct
When on -> Status is unknown

Hi,

Still not fixed in Home Assistant 0.108.3, so please leave it open.

Bought an aircon with smart life. The integration is not working well.
The enity appears in HA, but not much works. tried all services "climate" services in developer tools, only "climate.turn_off" works. I have a thermostat-card set up. Not all the options I hoped for are there (cold, fan and dry are absent). I can't change the temperature, again the only thing that works is to turn off the unit.
I'm running on HA 0.109.6.
Please let me know if I can help with logs and traces. I don't know how to do it, so please instruct me.

Best Regards
Tobe

And yes, the entity has two states, off and unknown.

[tux2000]

I have a similar problem since a recent update (don't recall the exact version) that the thermostat card does not allow for a temperature to be set in the "unknown" state, it just looks like this:

It worked previously (0.108 i think) and I could set a temperature which also switched the heater on.

Can you set a temperature when you open the entity (e.g. through the three dots i the upper right corner of the thermostat card?) This is what it looks like for me:

There I can still change the temperature. In Lovelace i replace the standard thermostat card with this one: https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat It allows to set temperature also in unknown state.

No idea about cooling etc. I only have a floor heating with a tuya device.

Any update on this issue? Heaters/coolers that are added with Tuya to Home Assistant don't show any HVAC modes only off. With the summer coming cooling is one of the most important automations

[LEJOUI]

I'm finding that the API from tuya doesn't provide the correct information for HA to integrate well. For example, with my airco the API doesn't give the modes that the airco can run in, so HA can't see the right hvac_modes.

I think this issue is related to this one #26837

[MauricioXavier13]

Still having this issue. Turning on, realy turns on the heater, but with a toogle command and it appears unavailable after that.
And it takes some much time to be updated and change status in the HA UI.

[antoweb]

After last update now my bht-6000 has the new state Auto and the state unknown is not more applied when the thermostat is on. Great but:

• The new states are: 'Auto' and 'Off' but my thermostat has also the state Manual, this is important because if is set to manual the integration says: Auto

• The temperature is doubled but thanks to integration options is possible to set the divided factor

• another issue is that the tuya smart app will show the boiler status with the little blaze as show in attached picture but home assistant can't intercept this state so is impossible to trigger when the boiler is on
