config option loop_mode does not work as expected

[JueFri]

@ralphm2004

After starting broadlink-thermostat.py as a service the variable loop_mode of a device has not the value of the config option loop_mode of broadlink-thermostat.conf.

broadlink-thermostat.conf:

...
# loop_mode refers to index in { "12345,67" , "123456,7 , "1234567" }
# E.G. loop_mode 2 means very day (including Sat and Sun) follows the weekday schedule
loop_mode = 0
...

broadlink-thermostat.py output:

I pulled the latest version but the issue was also in the version before.

Based on your examples i am now able to subscribe and publish most of the thermostat parameters via openhab or mosquitto_sub / mosquitto_pub but i have no idea how to "set_mode" for loop_mode.

"set_mode" in your script has the two parameters auto_mode and loop_mode and i have no idea how the syntax is for both parameters in one mosquitto_pub call.
"set_mode" for auto_mode alone working fine with mosquitt_pub -u ... -P ... -t /broadlink/......34ea34/cmd/set_mode -m '1'

Could you please provide an example for "set_mode" for auto_mode and loop_mode in one mosquitto_pub ?

best regards
Jürgen

Setting the loop_mode via the touch screen of the thermostat leads to the following results:

• LOOP 12345 leads to loop_mode value 1
• LOOP 123456 leads to loop_mode value 2
• LOOP 1234567 leads to loop_mode value 3

The description in the config file leads to my confusion

# loop_mode refers to index in { "12345,67" , "123456,7 , "1234567" }
# E.G. loop_mode 2 means very day (including Sat and Sun) follows the weekday schedule
loop_mode = 0

The value of the config option loop_mode is not equal to the value of the variable loop_mode,
so
config option loop_mode = 0 leads to variable loop_mode value 1
config option loop_mode = 1 leads to variable loop_mode value 2
config option loop_mode = 2 leads to variable loop_mode value 3

Is that correct ?

Never tested this. The Python API is from mjg59/python-broadlink

I 'm using loop mode 1234567 and works fine, but if is a sun or sat and I send :
mosquitto_pub -h mqtt -t /broadlink/xxxxxx34ea34/cmd/set_schedule -m '[[{"start_hour": 1, "temp": 21.0, "start_minute": 0}, {"start_hour": 6, "temp": 15.0, "start_minute": 30}, {"start_hour": 10, "temp": 15.0, "start_minute": 0}, {"start_hour": 14, "temp": 15.0, "start_minute": 0}, {"start_hour": 16, "temp": 21.0, "start_minute": 30}, {"start_hour": 22, "temp": 15.0, "start_minute": 0}], [{"start_hour": 8, "temp": 15.0, "start_minute": 0}, {"start_hour": 22, "temp": 15.0, "start_minute": 0}]]'
thermostat shows loop mode (1234567) but is set temperature ( 15 not 21 ) of sun or sat (6 and 7) days ... not days from mon to fri ?
