HomeKit automation not controlling thermostat

[thevoltagesource]

HomeKit control seems to work pretty great! scenes and manual control all seem to work with one exception. As i am in a mixed media home, some of my users choose to make automations using HomeKit rather than Home assistant. at this time, all my Hubs are running the iOS 15 beta (go big or go home i guess) and automations dont seem to control the accessory. It is unclear if it is the beta causing the issue, or if it is the integration itself.

its nothing i cant do in Home Assistant, but some of my users would prefer to make automatons there as its a bit easier for them to learn :)

I don't mind trying to see what is going on. Can you give me a couple of example automations I can try out on my side? I am not as brave as you, I don't even have all my Apple device on the current version let alone the beta.

Ha ha yeah I’m pretty nuts. Here are some resources and links. The first one I noticed was that this automation (when an eve button is pressed) triggers the scenes, but doesn’t change the thermostat. This is a Shortcut automation from within HomeKit (so an automation converted to shortcut which was introduced in iOS13)

This image here is an automation that DOES work. It’s just an original HomeKit automation

I do know that HomeKit shortcuts behave differently than traditional automations. And they behave differently from traditional shortcuts as well. But there is some sample data for you XD
