if I call a script to set the temperature of a water kettle (effectivly a thermostat) from another script, i get a strange error (attached). Error running action Provided temperature 90.55555555555556 is not valid. Accepted range is 7 to 35 If I run the kettle script directly it works fine.

kettle script:

sequence:
  - metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: climate.kettle
    action: climate.toggle
  - metadata: {}
    data:

why are you using climate.toggle?

#

that toggles on -> off -> on -> etc every time you call it

brittle nexus Sep 19, 2024, 2:18 PM

#

And what do the attributes of the entity climate.kettle say in the dev tools?

#

Especially the attributes min_tempand max_temp

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

I'm assuming that the toggle is putting it in an unwanted state and the min/max is adjusting

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:20 PM

#

the 90.55555555555555~ matches with 195 fahrenheit. Which seems a tad high for a thermostat

brittle nexus Sep 19, 2024, 2:20 PM

#

It is a kettle

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

ah, 7 to 35 degrees Celsius seems to be a reasonable range for a thermostat though. So that's probably where the error message is based on

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:23 PM

#

Well, the script works from just calling it

#

so the only reason it wouldn't work is the toggle

#

right, imagine running the first time and it works, then testing the automation

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

I can imagine it throws that error if it's already on

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

it would... on -> off, then error

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

basically you're turning it off together with setting a temperature

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

vale star why are you using climate.toggle?

it seems I have to turn it on before I can set it

brittle nexus Sep 19, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

vale star so the only reason it wouldn't work is the toggle

If the climate entity does not have the supported features to be turned on and off, maybe?

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:24 PM

#

winged gull it seems I have to turn it on before I can set it

right, climate.turn_on, not climate.toggle

#

assuming there is a turn on service

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:25 PM

#

I need more coffee, it's two seperate ~~service calls~~ actions

#

☕

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:25 PM

#

only if you had a kettle to turn on

#

with your house

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:26 PM

#

ok this is really odd... because this all worked before the 2024.09

min_temp: 45
max_temp: 95
current_temperature: 32
temperature: null
hvac_action: idle
friendly_name: Kettle
supported_features: 385```

The max temp is actuall 212f / 100c so I'm not sure where 95 came from

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:26 PM

#

Yes, 90.555555~ degrees Celsius seems like a fine temperature for coffee

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:26 PM

#

I just set it to 195f / 90c so it doesnt boil over

#

I live at altitude, water boils at 93c

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:27 PM

#

check if you can use climate.turn_on in devtools > actions on the entity

#

if that works, use that in your script

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:27 PM

#

i know for a fact that max_temp was not 95 before 2024.09

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:27 PM

#

rigid schooner check if you can use `climate.turn_on` in devtools > actions on the entity

it exists

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:27 PM

#

if the kettle is already on now, your toggle service call will turn it off first, and then you will get the error because it's off

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:28 PM

#

climate turn on works

rigid schooner Sep 19, 2024, 2:28 PM

#

The error doesn't explain the actual issue very well though

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:29 PM

#

rigid schooner if the kettle is already on now, your toggle service call will turn it off first...

hummm that might actually be happening

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:29 PM

#

I'd wager when the climate is off the attributes are gone and then the service bitches if it's not between the default ranges

I think the iOS shortcut is failing and it calls the script more than once... which would have toggled from of to on to off ... that makes sense now that I think about it

Ah right, the min and max are probably attributes as well (I have floor heating in the whole house, which I just have at a fixed value throughout the year, so no climate entities (also no smart kettle))

it's very odd that your kettle is a climate device

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:32 PM

#

in testing moving from toggle to turn on seems to fix the issue

vale star Sep 19, 2024, 2:32 PM

#

whatever is creating that is doing some fuckery

winged gull Sep 19, 2024, 2:33 PM

#

vale star it's very odd that your kettle is a climate device

yeah, I need to create a tempalte and replace it... it's some serious fuckery. The kettle has bluetooth with a strange protocol that someone integrated into Homebridge. I happen to have a Pi in the same room, so I installed homebridge just for the kettle and then I pull it into HA via a homekit device. Seriousy fuckery

#

but homebridge exposes it as a climate device and it works (mostly) so I haven't bothered yet ¯_(ツ)_/¯
