Service action widget converts HVAC mode OFF to FALSE

harrybin · July 25, 2023, 11:13pm

Hi,
I created two service action widgets.
One setting HEAT as HVAC mode for my climate device and one setting OFF.
The one setting HEAT works fine,
but the one to set OFF seems not to save value OFF, it coverts it to FALSE.
And therefore I guess it doesn’t work.
As soon as I save the widget using OFF as hvac_mode value and reopen the widget settings again, it shows FALSE instead of OFF.

Is this a bug?
Any idea how to fix this or work around?

Greetings
Harry

what happens if you put off in quotes?

Then it keeps there in the widget, but the switch does does not work.
