[APP][Pro] MELCloud & MELCloud Extension - Take control of your heat pump

Hi @Stortkoker,

If you want full control of your heat pump, you can only use the Full thermostat mode set of values, which includes fan and dry modes.

The other set of values – under HomeKit thermostat modes – allows you to control your heat pump from the Apple Home app through the Homey HomeyKit app.

However, you can also use them from Homey, as they perform the same actions.
The Apple Home app does not support fan and dry modes, so the two sets of values sync as follows:

HomeKit Modes => Full Modes
Heat => Heat + power on
Cool => Cool + power on
Auto => Auto + power on
Off => Power off (full mode unchanged)

Full Modes => HomeKit Modes
Heat => Heat (power unchanged)
Cool => Cool (power unchanged)
Auto => Auto (power unchanged)
Fan => Off (power unchanged, remains on if already on)
Dry => Off (power unchanged, remains on if already on)

Note that with the full modes, you have to manage the power on / off separately.

I hope this answers your question!

Kind regards
