Beeping on schedule power on

philazzi44 opened this issue · comments

Looking over the code written so far (which is awesome, btw!), I'd love to see support for some way to power on the unit without the beeping that accompanies it... I can reproduce this on the 3rd gen Mr Cool Multi zone unit I just installed. It effectively turns a morning power on schedule to heat/cool the room into an unintended alarm clock for anyone sleeping in the room.

I'm aware that hitting the LED button on the remote after the unit is on will mute the beeping up until the unit powers down. I imagine it might be possible to keep the unit on all night, and lower the target temperature such that it acts as a fan all night, but that seems inefficient compared to powering down for at least 8 hours. I suspect what I'm reporting may not be possible with the firmware on the unit, which would be unfortunate, but perhaps something to track as firmware updates are released.

Closing per #19
