9 months ago I’ve experienced a very similar issue.
I installed BT and set it up with a single one of my smartTRV / climate entities.
That entity keeps reverting itself to “off”. I set it to auto mode or manual ‘heat’. The first time I change the mode it reverts to ‘off’ instantly. The next time it holds the mode change to what I have selected for a variable amount of time but does eventually revert to ‘off’.
I love the detail and how it is very similar to the Tado graphical display but while this is happening it’s not viable to use so the integration has been disabled.

I'm not sure why but BT keeps asked for heat for a very short time and then turning the thermostat off again. This is very gas costly as the HVAC will use more gas on startup. And if it turns off directly this usage was for nothing.
I did setup a tolerance of 0.5 but that also doesn't seem to do anything.

Actual thermostat
Expected behavior:
I would expect that once the actual thermostat asks for heat BT will at least allow it to run for a while to prevent unnecessary gas usage.
I also would expect that since I've setup a tolerance of 0.5 it would allow the measured temperature to go down 0.5 degrees before asking for heat at all. This unfortunately does not happen.
Actual behavior:
The BT thermostat doesn't account for tolerance and keeps toggling heat on/off on my real thermostat.
Versions
BT: 1.4.0 HA: 2023.12.3
Additional info
Is there a floot-heating mode for BT? I do not have any radiators or anything else, just floor heating in the entire house.
