LG Smartthinq HVAC: Ionizer unavailable

[XalaTheShepard]

After a reboot of HA, the Ionizer buttons of both my HVAC became unavailable.
No update of the LG Smartthinq app has happened since the last time they were working.
I am running HA Core 2024.10.4 and the latest version of the LG Smartthinq custom component.
Could a change in the API have caused this issue?

Many thanks for looking into the issue.

For additional information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Robin

I have 2 models of LG inverter airco's

LG-H12MW
This is the older model, currently waiting for a wifi module I ordered to link this one too.
This one has following buttons on remote:
Plasma this is the ionizer
E/Saving This mode minimizes power consumption dur
ing cooling and increases the set temperature
to the optimal level for a more comfortable en
vironment.
A/Clean In the cooling and dehumidifying operations,
moisture is generated inside the indoor unit.
Use the auto cleaning function to remove
such moisture.

LG-H09AP
This one with wifi build in has buttons:
Energy CTRL similar to E/Saving above with has 80/60/40% modes
FUNC and On/Off buttons this allows you to set 4 modes that you can set on/off:
tree icon = ionizer/plasma
fan icon = reduce outdoor unit noise
LH = freeze protect
airco icon = same as A/Clean above.

I don't know why the A/Clean isn't always on, since when cooling in summer it can actually make your airco drip water on the inside when off.

The other features are really nice. When the device is off, you can just push the plasma or func set plasma and the airco will basically just be a air purifier and only drain like 15~25watt while it only cleans your air.

I do fear that these are not available to be implemented in home assistant. Since when I look in the LG ThinQ app the only one available is the LH freeze protect.
But you mention home assistant had ionizer buttons before? I did not see them, but I only set up my home assistant like 2 weeks ago.

But yeah if these modes could be added to home assistant what would be great!
