HVAC mode error in logs

[goedh452]

The problem

The logs show this error many times: Cannot map hvac target mode: auto to homekit as only {0: <HVACMode.OFF: 'off'>, 1: <HVACMode.HEAT: 'heat'>} modes are supported. I opened this issue but it was closed since there was no activity.

I took a look at the code and discovered that the zones seem to be the problem. At this line the state of a zone is set to auto when the location is set to off. Auto is not a valid HVAC-mode for a zone when looked a the possible states (see screenshot).

I took a look at the code and discovered that the zones seem to be the problem. ... the state of a zone is set to auto when the location is set to off. Auto is not a valid HVAC-mode for a zone when looked a the possible states (see screenshot).

Some confusion here is that you are referring to both:

• a HA Climate entity (set to HvacMode.AUTO), and
• an evohome zone (which would be FollowSchedule)

Nonetheless, I agree it is a bug.
