Generic Thermostat + Automation

Hi!

I’m using generic thermostat (with Sonoff Mini) to control the temperature.

My config looks like this:

climate:
  - platform: generic_thermostat
    name: Zentralheizung
    heater: switch.main_heater_relay
    target_sensor: sensor.motion_lf_livingroom_temperature
#    target_temp: 23
    min_cycle_duration:
      seconds: 900
    cold_tolerance: 0.5
    away_temp: 18
    hot_tolerance: 0.3
    precision: 0.1

I had to comment out the target_temp as it sometimes overwrote my automation.

The automation sets a target_temp at a specific time and also sets the preset mode to home and none (when not at home).

After I commented out the target temp in the config, the thermostat didn’t switch to away_temp which it did when I had a target temp set in the climate config.

Is this really necessary?
I just want the target temp set by the automation and also only at specific times (not from - to) so I can still edit these manually in the UI.

Thanks
