Air conditioner state cycles On-Off-On when turned on

[JezW1]

This is a second discussion thread with a different issue, I hope that's okay. I'm not sure whether I should post a new device request due to this behaviour. The AC unit is an Ipac-40 and it's setup as eberg_qubo_q40hd_heatpump.

I have an automation which turns the AC on and off throughout the night, triggered by a temperature sensor.

With Tuya local, the cool command sometimes results in the AC reporting On-Off-On in the device log. The machine doesn't exhibit this behaviour itself, but it has knock on effects other automations. This behaviour is definitely caused by the cool command.

Please let me know what information I can provide to help solve this, or whether I should post a new device request.

Thank you
