seems to have no relation with

'high' is not a valid preset mode

The first part seems correct (at least JSON syntax wise), why there is a warning I cannot see.

"'high' is not a valid preset mode" is an error message related to HA templates. There must be some more info after this part in the logging I beieve.

Check your config in HA on fan definition. You most likely have this somewhere in your YAML.

You need to specify the presets. Your CVE looks a bit different but the culprit is missing preset_modes:

- name: "Itho HRU 350 "
   unique_id: "Itho_hru_Fan"
   state_topic: "ithohru/lwt"
   state_value_template: "{% if value == 'online' %}ON{% else %}OFF{% endif %}" 
   command_topic: "ithohru/cmd"
   preset_mode_state_topic: "ithohru/ithostatus"
   preset_mode_command_template: "{ rfremotecmd: '{{ value }}'}"
   preset_mode_value_template: >
        {% set am = value_json['Actual Mode'] | int %}
          {% if am == 1 %}
            low
          {% elif am == 2 %}
            medium 
          {% elif am == 3 %}
            high
          {% elif am == 13 %}
             timer
          {% elif am == 24 %}
            auto
          {% elif am == 25 %}
            autonight
          {% else %}

Hey good point, will look into this and report back, thanks!

So this is my current config with 4 sensors defined, am not sure where to include the preset_modes, I could use an example :)

- sensor:
   name: "Itho Percentage"
   unique_id: "itho_percentage"
   state_topic: "itho/ithostatus"
   unit_of_measurement: "%"
   value_template: "{{ value_json['Ventilation setpoint (%)'] | round (0) }}"

- sensor:
   name: "Itho setpoint (rpm)"
   unique_id: "itho_fan_setpoint"
   state_topic: "itho/ithostatus"
   unit_of_measurement: "rpm"
   value_template: "{{ value_json['Fan setpoint (rpm)'] | round (0) }}"

- sensor:
   name: "Itho speed (rpm)"
   unique_id: "itho_fan_speed"
   state_topic: "itho/ithostatus"
   unit_of_measurement: "rpm"
   value_template: "{{ value_json['Fan speed (rpm)'] | round (0) }}"

- sensor:
   name: "Itho humidity"
   unique_id: "itho_humidity"
   state_topic: "itho/ithostatus"
   unit_of_measurement: "%"
   value_template: "{{ value_json['hum'] | round (0) }}"

[arjenhiemstra]

sensors do not use preset modes, must be somewhere else in the config

[jasperslits]

Yes, that’s why I said you should check the yaml definition for your fan.

Or just do a grep -R on “preset” in your ha config directory

[roelvandermade]

Will dive into this, closing this issue since it looks not to be itho related. thanks!

@arjenhiemstra not sure if adding this comment is useful, but I see the same issue and I think it's related to Home Assistant MQTT Discovery. in MQTT I receive in the homeassistant/fan/nrg-itho-### topic:

and:

I think the case difference between the preset modes and the pr_mode_val_tpl may cause the issue? After updating the preset configuration from 'Low' to 'low', the issue resolved itself for me (until the next discovery, I think).
