Home Assistant KNX Climate integration with Vimar Thermostat 02972 - broken when setpoint shift is configured #150338

The problem

I have the following configuration that works:

climate:
- name: "Master Bedroom"
temperature_address: "10/3/9"
target_temperature_state_address: "10/3/8"
operation_mode_address: "10/3/20"
operation_mode_state_address: "10/3/21"
controller_mode_address: "10/3/0"
controller_mode_state_address: "10/3/11"
on_off_address: "10/3/12"
on_off_state_address: "10/3/10"

However, i can't control the temperature and get this error


2025-08-09 15:30:23.117 WARNING (MainThread) [xknx.log] Attempted to set value for non-writable device: Master Bedroom - Target temperature (value: 28.700000000000003)

This is expected because the thermostat does not have a writable target setpoint entity. Instead i should use setpoint shift entities. So i added


  setpoint_shift_address: "10/3/14"
  setpoint_shift_state_address: "10/4/14"

after that the thermostat became unavailable. I added the

setpoint_shift_mode: "DPT9002"

and

setpoint_shift_mode: "DPT60110 (gave error "Invalid payload length for DPTValue1Count (6.010)")

without success. And there are no logs to point toward what is happening. i presume this is a compatibility thing but i am not sure.
