Sensibo Sky AC/Heatpump controller requires 2 actions to be sent everytime?

I have this “smart” ac controller that I can control my Bosch heatpump with:

I also have it integrated in HA. It works except on every press of a button on my entity card, I have to press twice! THe same goes for my automations. For example I have one automation to turn it off. I have to call the off command twice for it to actually work:

The heatpump beeps on each off command sent here for example, but I have to do it twice.

Has anyone else experienced similar issue?

Yes I have the same issue with my infra red controlled reverse cycle air conditioner
It seems the IR needs to wake up with first command that it ignores, then the second command works.
It is the same if I use google to command.

Have you noticed any new errors? It seems that this season, my sensibo sky automations only turn the pump on but actually no heat. Before, my automations would set the temp to 10 degrees and heating, wich would start my heatpump in this mode. But that no longer works, the heatpump starts but does nothing.

Now I see why
