Hi,
I made some investigations and changes, and I think I got it working a even little bit better now…
If the checkbox “Send changes in separate MQTT messages” is checked, the “<yourd_id>/thermostate/properties” is not the “full” json where you are extracting the data from, but all the values are being send only in the separate mqtt topics. Thats on what I built my previous code, and also the automations which doing the “hammering in the values few times”. Aditionally, your code does not have the “action_topic” which determines the current action of the thermostate.
Currently this mqtt config is working for my thermostate with the Firmware Version 1.25b

Aditionally, I made changes to my previous automations which are doing the “hammering” of the values, until the desired value is set, with a random delay:
You just need to create two input_text helpers which save the desired temperature and value.
alias: House - Climate Set

Just for clarification, I found the above automation somewhere on the forums, I just adapted it for my needs.
Let me know if you think if I should post a link of this discussion onto github.
