Restrict HomeKit Binding Thermostat / Heater to Heating only

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Hi,

I’m successfully using the HomeKit binding to control a heater (on a WiFi switch) using an external thermometer (Shelly H&T).

Everything is working successfully.

However, in HomeKit on iOS I see the options to Cool and Auto, which make no sense in my case.

Is there a way to only show OFF & HEAT? Or have I set it up completely wrong (as Thermostat).

Thank you.

Hi Colin,

it is currently not possible to restrict modes in homekit binding.
this feature is already longer on my to-do list but we are depended on an external library which needs to be released first.
i would say another 1-2 months.

Hi,

no, it is only part of 3.x release. No new feature will be added to 2.5.x, only security fixes.
