Indigo Touch shows wrong info for Thermostat device

I've created a plugin for my EvoHome system.
One of the devices is of type "thermostat" and represents the controller in the EvoHome system.
It doesn't have a temperature setting, but it does have a heat demand.
It is that property that I fill in the plugin and the Indigo Client happily shows it.

The controller shows the heat demand as state, which is what I expect.

Indigo Touch however shows a temperature and also show the temperatures in Fahrenheit.

Is this a bug in Indigo Touch?

In the Indigo client, right-click on the device and select "Print Device Details to Event Log" and post those results here.

Good question!
Looks like I need to set this

Code: Select all

displayStateId : temperatureInputsAll

to heatDemand.

Have a look at this wiki page which lays out the ThermostatDevice class properties as well as the values which are read only and those that are writeable--and most importantly, the Device States.

https://wiki.indigodomo.com/doku.php?id=indigo_2023.1_documentation:device_class#thermostatdevice

Played a bit with those values and now I'm convinced that Indigo Touch uses the value of temperatureInput1 while Indigo Client uses temperatureInput1.ui.
In my opinion that's a bug on the Indigo Touch side.

It’s possible. We’ll take a look.
