HomeKit thermostat – hide AUTO and COOL modes (heating only) - _BG_ - 26.08.2025

Hi,
I need help with HomeKit integration. 
Is it possible to hide the AUTO and COOL modes from a thermostat?

I'm using the thermostat only for underfloor heating, so I only need the HEAT mode. 

I know it's possible to write scripts that automatically switch from COOL to HEAT when selected, but is there a way to make only HEAT and OFF visible?
I know that native HomeKit thermostats designed for heating only show HEAT and OFF, so I’m wondering if this behavior can be replicated in a custom setup.

Thanks in advance.

Configuring available thermostat modes is not supported at the moment. We will look into adding this as an option later.

Ok, Thank you.
I do waiting for this update.
We are using HomeKit more and more often in our projects.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to configure some KNX thermostats that operate using two separate boolean group objects: one for ON/OFF and another for Heating/Cooling. 
I believe they might not be directly compatible with the mandatory 8-bit 'Off/Heat/Cool' object requested by the HomeKit app.
Could anyone kindly let me know if there is a setting or a workaround within the HomeKit app to make them compatible? 
Or would it be better to look into writing a custom LUA script for this? 
If someone has already faced this issue and would be so kind as to share some advice, I would be truly grateful.

Lastly, I was wondering if a more flexible integration for these types of split KNX objects might be considered for future updates.

Thank you very much for your time and help!

Script is the answer.
