Proposed change

This commit allows users that have HVACs devices managed with melcloud to use the standard climate card to set the horizontal vane mode.

This just implements the standard methods added recently for horizontal vane support (as explained in https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/12/03/climate-horizontal-swing/ which was very helpful in knowing of this new support) in melcloud.

Type of change

  • Dependency upgrade
  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New integration (thank you!)
  • New feature (which adds functionality to an existing integration)
  • Deprecation (breaking change to happen in the future)
  • Breaking change (fix/feature causing existing functionality to break)
  • Code quality improvements to existing code or addition of tests

Additional information

I tested this in my own melcloud devices.

In the future it would be interesting to remove the custom vane support in the melcloud integration and only use the standard services/methods but this would break existing automations so IMO it should be deprecated and cleaned up in a separate PR to be merged in a future version. In the meantime, it doesn't hurt to have both ways to access the same states. If someone points me to some documentation on how to deprecate services, I'll be glad to submit a PR too for that.

Since homeassistant recently added standard way to implement
horizontal vane support in climate entities, this commit
adds support for those in melcloud devices.

I own a device that is managed with the melcloud integration
where I tested this.

In the future it would be interesting to remove the custom
vane support in the melcloud integration and only use the
standard services/methods but this would break existing
automations so IMO it should be deprecated and cleaned up
in a future version. In the meantime, it doesn't hurt to
have both ways to access the same states.
Fix parameter name to use swing_horizontal_mode in async_set_swing_horizontal_mode
Reimplement async_update in AtaDeviceClimate (from MelCloudClimate)
so that when the device information is obtained from the cloud, we
check if the device has horizontal vanes to mark SWING_HORIZONTAL_MODE
as a supported feature.

Note that we can't just check for self._device.vane_horizontal in
__init__ since vane_horizontal is only set (or not) after the device
data is fetched from the cloud.
