Having to change control mode back and forth to get it to work (see video) #10

Thanks for making this integration! It is greatly appreciated.

One issue I face: When I want the mower to start, I have to set the control to "Working" and then to "Idle" and the back to "Working for it to start. And when i want it to stop, I have to set it to "Idle" and then "Working" and then "Idle" again to make it stop. As shown in this video: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6d2040d9-5f6d-4b28-b174-6f10f22706f7 (turn on sound)

How to fix this?

Thank you!

I am currently on vacation, but will take a look at this when I get back. I was thinking about improving this, because there is now a lawn mower entity in HA which we didn't have back when I first wrote the integration.

Sounds great. Instead of the input selector, I made 3 button helpers, one for mowing, one for stopping and one for returning to dock. And then I translated HOMING to "Returning to dock", etc.

Thanks again for making this integration. I really appreciate it and already use it a lot.
