core: Honeywell Total Connect Comfort: "hvac_action" & "fan_action" never change from "idle".

The problem

I have a Honeywell Vision Pro 8000 (TH8321WF1001). Every attribute works/is usable with the Total Connect Comfort (US) integration except “hvac_action” & “fan_action” which are always on “idle”. They have not changed from idle in the two weeks during which I’ve been working with Home Assistant daily.>

I had to reload the integration after the update but a quick check shows that it updates within the 30 second window. I’ll look again in a couple of days and report back if I find anything different.

Thanks for all of your work improving this integration.

@mkmer - Thanks for looking at an alternate path to fixing this & proposing a solution. Hopefully we’ll find a way, I like the thermostat but really want to get this information about my HVAC system.

It’s mostly selfish, I want to measure run time and it’s currently truncating up to 5 minutes of run time. If you know how to setup a custom_integration, I can share a version that pulls from the PR and you could see if it addresses the issue for you.

checked my RTH8500WF and found that the hvac_action does work however it is very slow to update

this chart shows that the hvac action is updating image

btw does anyone happen to know what the “foyer heating” trend is driven by?
