Device 009-128 - Turning on the device resets "Fan Mute" option to off

[psycho202]

Minor annoyance rather than full on bug.

When switching mode (t_work_mode) from off to heat, the setting "fan mute" (t_fan_mute) is reset back to off.
If I use the ConnectLife app, the value is retained.

Considering I'm only using the aircon units on fan mute constantly, this is slightly annoying for me as I turn on the aircon in HA, then have to wait until the integration updates the status, usually half a minute to a minute, and only then I can turn fan mute back on again.

If there's anything I can do to assist troubleshooting or testing this, please let me know.

This seems similar to issues discussed in #195 where we need to send multiple fields in the same requests.

I guess that the integration in this case needs to send t_fan_mute with its current value in the same request as t_work_mode (at least if t_fan_mute is enabled).

Could you try to use the new Update device action/service to experiment sending both fields?

If it works, we need to figure out how to configure this in the mapping file(s).

Just played with it a little bit, had to figure out how the "Update Device" action works first.

So first up:

t_work_mode: 1 -- set to HEAT
t_fan_mute: 1 -- set to quiet

Didn't turn on the AC, but kept the "Quiet" on as expected.

t_power: 1
t_work_mode: 1

Turns on the AC and sets it to HEAT, this resets the "quiet" mode

t_power: 1  -- power on the AC
t_work_mode: 1
t_fan_mute: 1

Has the expected effect

t_power: 1
t_fan_mute: 1

Also had the expected effect, in that it turns on the AC in the last used work mode.

Thank you for your investigation. I have been a bit indisposed the last couple of weeks, so I haven't had the time to think about how this can be leveraged into some kind of actions. Any ideas?
