how to enforce step size of humidity setting?

[yapweiliang]

Hello, firstly thank you for this - I have linked my Pro Breeze dehumidifier to homeassisstant.

All works except one issue is - my humidifier only accepts humidity settings in steps of 5. example 50%, 55%, 60%. However HomeAssistant will let me set in 1% steps, e.g 54%, 62%. The problem is that the humidifier does not accept these - the setting remains unchanged on the humidifier (but on the SmartLife (tuya) app - it accepts the new number, even if it is 'illegal' like 53%).

I am not sure how to enforce this - is there something that can be tweaked in the localtuya? Should I request from HomeAssistant (humidifier card)?

Below is an excerpt from DOWNLOAD DIAGNOSTICS showing that the step:5 is present in the dehumidify_set_value. The range min:30 to max:80 appears to be respected.

re-configure the device and when you at set value entity configuration change the step to 5

I don't have that option. See screenshots. (there are two screenshots - top and bottom half of the dialog box)

Homeassistant humidifier doesn't have an option to change the step of the humidifier temp however we can tweak this by actually take the closest five so if you set "3%" then it will automatically converted into "5%" however not sure if this is good step or not. and yes humidifier cards can fix this or adding the device as "climate" instead of "humidifier"

ok. I will try to contact HomeAssistant regarding adding option to change step-size of humidifier setting.

Regarding the question of rounding to nearest 5, I think for me it will be fine. So for example if I set 53% then the setting will change automatically and update to 55%. But I don't know what other people would prefer.
