Climate entity "does not support action climate.turn_on"

[rubin110]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched both the existing open issues & recently closed issues and did not find a duplicate of this issue.

I have read about the Fleet API and understand I may need to use it

• I understand issues relating to read only commands will be auto closed if not using the Fleet API.

Version of the Tesla component

3.24.3

Version of the Tesla car software

2024.44.25.2 288ce84bb43e

Model

Model 3 LR/AWD 2021

Current Behavior

When running the climate.turn_on, climate.turn_off, or climate.toggle actions on the Tesla climate entity...

action: climate.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: climate.setareh_hvac_climate_system
data: {}

An error is thrown...

Entity climate.setareh_hvac_climate_system does not support action climate.turn_on

And the action doesn't execute.

Expected Behavior

When running the climate.turn_on, climate.turn_off, or climate.toggle actions on the Tesla climate entity, the action executes successfully, turning on the HVAC system in the car.

Anything else?

I've tested this both with and without MQTT. I can tell you this was working at least a month ago. climate.set_hvac_mode does work....

action: climate.set_hvac_mode
data:
  hvac_mode: heat_cool
target:
  entity_id: climate.setareh_hvac_climate_system

I don't think I've ever seen a climate entity not respond to the on/off/toggle actions.

I do see that's something that can be set for climate entities. When I take a look at the entity attributes...

hvac_modes:
  - heat_cool
  - "off"
min_temp: 59
max_temp: 82
fan_modes:
  - "off"
  - bioweapon
preset_modes:
  - normal
  - defrost
  - keep
  - dog
  - camp
current_temperature: 72
temperature: 72
fan_mode: "off"
preset_mode: normal
attribution: Data provided by Tesla
friendly_name: Setareh Hvac (climate) system
supported_features: 25

I'm guessing tweaking supported_features would open up the ability to turn the entity on and off, but I'm not sure where to start with modifying that.

Thanks!

I was using both defrost and turn_on. Both are dead. I switched to hvac_mode: heat_cool
