PROGRAM_SELECTION is not read back when set

[ggaljoen]

velbusaio/messages/module_status.py
PROGRAM_SELECTION is only updated from Velbus.
It can be set correctly and written to Velbus but the value is not updated to selection made.

i'm not following.

we should only look at the velbus for the state, so not sure what is wrong here

Indeed not easy to understand.
Made a small clip to clearify:Left side is VelbusLink, middle is Home Assistant status, right is selection box in Home Assistant

Does this make more sense now?

[ggaljoen]

Think I found the cause...
It is correctly intercepted from / and set by 0xB3 : velbusaio/messages/select_program.py
Since this is transmitted from velbusaio, it is not possible to update from this packet.

But in velbusaio/messages/module_status.py 0xED there is no selected_program for the majority of the modules.
This issue is present on all my VMBELx and one VMBGPOD-2.

Just checked and it works fine for my VMBPIRC, there it is present:
@register(COMMAND_CODE, ["VMBPIRO", "VMBPIRM", "VMBPIRC", "VMBELPIR"])
self.selected_program = data[5] & 0x03
self.selected_program_str = PROGRAM_SELECTION[self.selected_program]

Will wait on the april release.
Get back at this in a few days.

[cereal2nd]

any update on this?

[ggaljoen]

Still active with the most recent version.
If I add the program selection to the dashboard and change it; it is in the velbus logs BUT on the dashboard it stays unchanged. It does not show in the HA entity logs.
When it is changed in velbuslink it follows right away.

[cereal2nd]

can you show me the logs?

That would help me in pointing in what area to look

[ggaljoen]

What logs do you mean? Velbuslink or HA or both?

[cereal2nd]

both if possible

[ggaljoen]

Somehow it sounds kind of logical;

HA set the new states on the velbus THUS will not react on that change/message, because no status change is at that time received.

One of these is send by HA:

B3 00 = none
B3 01 = summer
B3 02 = winter
B3 04 = holiday

And the device confirmation goes like this:

ED 00 0F 00 00 00 D4 = none
ED 00 0F 00 00 00 D5 = summer
ED 00 0F 00 00 00 D6 = winter
ED 00 0F 00 00 00 D7 = holiday

Same thing happens in velbuslink (11.2.2), if you open a device operate window and changed a setting in HA.
