As best as I can tell, Sensibo and Cielo do not know the current state of your mini-splits.
If you have a schedule to set the units on/off and someone in your house inadvertently uses the remote to toggle the on/off state, all your subsequent schedule triggers will be off — for instance an “off” action you create in the Cielo app will turn ON a mini-split that’s already off, because it’s only a basic, binary toggle.
Obviously this is annoying, so I’ve been researching for controls that are smarter. I have no experience with Kumo but I think I’d switch if I knew it had this functionality. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I hadn’t tried checking the logs while using the remote. Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I press “Wide Vane” on my remote, I don’t get an update in the logs about it. I do see updates when I change the mode or fan speed, as well as the vertical swing setting.
