'Target Heater-Cooler State': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "undefined" (undefined) about homebridge-panasonic-air-conditioner HOT 10 CLOSED

i think it might be that the plugin is missing the DRY state, Auto, Heat, Cool and Dry

from homebridge-panasonic-air-conditioner.

I have the same:

[29/04/2021, 08:13:25] [AirCon] Temperature state is not available 126 126
[29/04/2021, 08:13:25] [homebridge-panasonic-air-conditioner] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Target Heater-Cooler State': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "undefined" (undefined). See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

As I think my AirCon does not report the temp back at all.

Same Issue here:
"This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Target Heater-Cooler State': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "undefined" (undefined). See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info." every 60 seconds (x 2 because I have two aircons)

from homebridge-panasonic-air-conditioner.

I have the same two errors every minute:

[3/6/2021 9:22:15] [Panasonic AC] Temperature state is not available 126 126
[3/6/2021 9:22:15] [homebridge-panasonic-air-conditioner] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Target Heater-Cooler State': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "undefined" (undefined). See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

I repeat, every minute.

It's possible to show those errors only in debug mode, please?

Same issue as above. It seems that the temperature state is not updated if the unit is not active. This is not a plugin problem as one has the same issue in the native iOS app. Also the « OFF » state seems to not be recognised by homebridge and create the « undefined » error message, I force it to « COOL » as I live in hot climate anyway…

I did a quick and dirty edit of index.js at lines 244 and 300 to avoid the messages, but I admit this is not ideal …

in 244

                         else {this.log("Temperature state is not available", body.parameters.insideTemperature, body.parameters.outTemperature);}

replaced by

                          // Note - update of fake temperature to avoid error messages polluting the log
                          else {
                                  this.HeaterCooler.getCharacteristic(Characteristic.CurrentTemperature).updateValue(30);
                                  this.FakeGatoHistory.addEntry({time: moment().unix(), temp: this.temperature});
                          }

in 300

                                  this.HeaterCooler.getCharacteristic(Characteristic.TargetHeaterCoolerState).updateValue(Characteristic.TargetHeaterCoolerState.OFF);

replaced by

                                  this.HeaterCooler.getCharacteristic(Characteristic.TargetHeaterCoolerState).updateValue(Characteristic.TargetHeaterCoolerState.COOL);

I have the same two errors every minute:

[3/6/2021 9:22:15] [Panasonic AC] Temperature state is not available 126 126
[3/6/2021 9:22:15] [homebridge-panasonic-air-conditioner] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Target Heater-Cooler State': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "undefined" (undefined). See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

I repeat, every minute.

It's possible to show those errors only in debug mode, please?

Yeah I'm getting them too. It's a pain because it means I have to scroll up for anything meaningful.

Anyway thanks for this amazing plugin. I only wish the characteristic value was a valid finite number whatever that means.

A number, a number, my kingdom for a valid finite number.

from homebridge-panasonic-air-conditioner.

Fixed.
