Using an automation, climate always comes on a 20deg auto

I've been trying to automate the AC to pre-heat our living room in the morning, however, it always come on at 20deg Auto mode hear is my code.

`- alias: Pre-heat Living Room initial_state: 'on' trigger: platform: time at: '05:45:00' action:

• service: climate.set_temperature data: entity_id: climate.living_room_ac temperature: 18 operation_mode: Heat `

Not sure if the issue is mqtt-bride, hassio, or possibly the thermostat control I have on my dashboard.

Maybe try using quotes on your YAML for the operation mode. Maybe that's why it defaults to Auto:

- alias: 'Pre-heat Living Room'
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    platform: time
      at: '05:45:00'
      action:
        - service: climate.set_temperature
          data:
            entity_id: climate.living_room_ac
            temperature: 18
            operation_mode: 'Heat'

Thanks that was part of the problem, but it didn't cure it. It did however lead me to check my syntax throughout, and 'Heat' needed to be 'heat' aswell. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
