"hot_tolerance" not woking as expected when in heat_cool mode about ha-dual-smart-thermostat HOT 6 CLOSED

I think that the idea, because in this configuration you already have a range for cold to hot, is to use the cold_tollerance to define the lower limit below the target_temp_low when the thermostat is in heater mode and the hot_tollerance to define the higher limit above the target_temp_high when the thermostat is in cooler mode. The others two limits are defined by the 2 target settings. Also your solution can work, but we should also consider that we have to avoid possible overlapping. Are just point of view, and I think that we should wait for the opinion of integration owner.

I have this same issue when using the heat_cool mode although I am not able to give much insight into the code side of things I could provide info if needed. It has been awhile without any updates, bootloos did you find a workaround or maybe a solution via config?

I'm afraid no. After tinkering a bit I found that with

min_cycle_duration:
minutes: 30

The HVAC stays on long enough for the temp to "circle" the desired setting.

Hope this helps

Thank you, I am not sure that would work for me as the outdoor temp varies drastically. I guess for now I will just manually switch between heat and cool. It is a killer feature its a shame its broken but it is still nicer having both in one interface at least.

I am bout to wrap up this feature. Covered it with a test, and seems to work as described.

Added a change. you can test it at https://github.com/swingerman/ha-dual-smart-thermostat/releases/tag/v0.9.0-beta.2
