Holiday mode automatically switched off after 1 minute

[Wummeke]

Last week I have updated the integration to the latest release (v0.3.0) and I noticed that when I set the Holiday mode with the switch, it is turned off automatically after (roughly) 1 minute.

In the logbook I have the following messages:

Holiday mode turned on triggered by service switch.turn_on
15:05:47 - 1 minute ago 

Hot water turned off
15:06:50 - Now

Holiday mode turned off
15:06:50 - Now

In my logfiles, I see the following:

2022-07-19 15:05:46 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.nefiteasy.switch] Switch Nefit holiday_mode to on, endpoint=/heatingCircuits/hc1/holidayMode/status.
2022-07-19 15:05:47 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.nefiteasy] Manually updated nefiteasy data
2022-07-19 15:06:50 DEBUG (MainThread) [custom_components.nefiteasy] Finished fetching nefiteasy data in 3.454 seconds (success: True)

Not really much, as you can see. But what I think is happening, is that the task to turn on holiday_mode is not actually sent to the thermostat, and one minute later HA is simply updated with the actual state of that setting.

I am using HA version 2022.7.5

It's because holiday end date. you can change it in the native nefit app, but not from the integration.

Good catch! I've set the end date of holiday mode to 12/31/2023, Lets see if I can keep using the holiday switch the next 1,5 years. That would be an okay workaround.

Is there any chance to fix the issue ? Maybe first as a workaround to set the holiday end date to +1 year from current date. Globally I can see in the source code what should be done ( create a subclass for holiday mode switch, override the turn_on method, and add there the date setting via holiday end endpoint). But I lack the Nefitaio knowledge to do it fast... I think that for the author it will take couple of hours, for me couple of weeks
