[schedy] HVAC mode of Bosch thermostat get set to automatic mode automatically

[u20p17]

Hi all, I am using Schedy (https://hass-apps.readthedocs.io/en/stable/apps/schedy/) for my heating schedule and it is working fine except one issue with the setting of the HVAC mode. As thermostats I am using the Bosch ones: https://www.bosch-smarthome.com/de/de/produkte/vorgaengermodelle/heizkoerper-thermostat/

As you can see in the image schedy changes the temperature to 17 deg. The HVAC mode get changed to automatic, then back to heat (what I would like to have) and finally back to automatic. Why?

Furthermore it seems that the thermostat are only listening to the values send by Schedy if they are in the Heat HVAC mode. What values the thermostat is using when it is in automatic mode? I haven't defined any schedule in the Bosch app.

The schedy config file looks the following:

schedy:  
  module: hass_apps_loader
  class: SchedyApp

  #reset_at_startup: false
  #expressions_from_events: false
