Convert flexit_bacnet fireplace mode to climate preset- Rename 'Boost… #155760

magnusoverli · 2025-11-03T21:00:11Z

Breaking change

⚠️ The fireplace mode switch is deprecated (but not removed yet)

The fireplace mode switch entity has been deprecated and disabled by default. It will be removed in a future version. Users with existing automations can continue using it, but will receive a repair notification prompting them to migrate to the climate preset.

For users with existing fireplace switch automations:

A repair issue will guide you to update your automations:

Before (deprecated):

service: switch.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: switch.flexit_nordic_fireplace_mode

After (recommended):

service: climate.set_preset_mode
target:
  entity_id: climate.flexit_nordic
data:
  preset_mode: fireplace

Additionally, the "Boost" preset has been renamed to "High" to match the device's terminology.

Proposed change

This PR converts the fireplace mode in the flexit_bacnet integration from a switch entity to a proper climate preset mode, matching how it appears on the physical Flexit device. It also renames the "Boost" preset to "High" to align with device terminology.

Problem: The fireplace mode was implemented as a switch entity, but on the physical Flexit device it functions as a ventilation mode just like "Home", "Away", and "High" (previously "Boost"). This inconsistency made it less intuitive for users and didn't match the device's actual interface.

Solution:

Renamed preset: Changed "Boost" → "High" to match device labeling
Converted fireplace mode: Changed from switch.flexit_nordic_fireplace_mode to a climate preset
Added proper UI elements: Translations and icons for all preset modes
Technical implementation: Uses operation_mode property to detect fireplace state (which correctly reports OPERATION_MODE_FIREPLACE when active)
Preserved functionality: Fireplace mode retains its automatic timeout behavior
Smooth migration: Fireplace switch is deprecated (disabled by default) rather than removed, with repair notifications to guide users
Fixed preset switching: Properly exits fireplace mode when switching to other presets by toggling it off before setting new ventilation mode
Fixed deprecation warning: Repair issue now appears immediately on integration load if switch is enabled

Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors the Flexit BACnet integration to consolidate fireplace mode from a separate switch entity into a climate preset mode. The main changes involve migrating from using ventilation_mode to operation_mode for reading device state, adding fireplace as a climate preset, and updating preset names for better clarity.

Key changes:

Replaces "boost" preset with "high" and adds "fireplace" as climate presets
Removes fireplace mode switch entity and moves functionality to climate preset
Changes climate entity to read state from operation_mode instead of ventilation_mode

These custom preset constants should include docstring comments explaining their purpose and when they're used, following Home Assistant's documentation standards for public constants.

Using PRESET_HOME as a default fallback could mask issues when an unknown operation mode is encountered. Consider logging a warning when falling back to the default, or using PRESET_NONE as a more neutral fallback to indicate an unknown state.

- Keep fireplace mode switch but disable it by default - Add deprecation warning when switch is used - Direct users to use climate preset mode instead - Provides smoother migration path for existing users

Good job!

But, I have checked out your code and when running it I locally I found that it does not work properly.

Changing preset to Fireplace using the card for the hvac entity works. But when trying to change back to any other preset does not work.

Also I see no warning or repair issue risen when using the (now) deprecated switch.

- Fix: Switching from fireplace preset to other presets now works correctly - When in fireplace mode, toggle it off before setting a new ventilation mode - trigger_fireplace_mode() acts as a toggle, so calling it while active turns it off - Fix: Deprecation warning now appears on integration load if fireplace switch is enabled - Previously only showed when switch was actively used - Now creates repair issue in async_setup_entry if switch is enabled - Add missing mock properties (fireplace_ventilation_status, cooker_hood_status) to conftest - Update snapshots to reflect correct fireplace switch state

Thanks for the feedback! 👍

I've tried addressing the issues you brought to light. I have tested with my device locally and changing away from Fireplace-mode now works in the card.

I can verify that you latest change works; the repair issue is risen and switching presets works. Great!

Looks good to me!
