[X] I checked for similar existing requests (both open and closed) before posting.
[X] My request is generic, other users may benefit from it too.
[X] I will participate in further discussion about this feature and can test it (if requested) once it's done.
Proposal
It would be very useful to have an option in the Scheduler Card that automatically sets the HVAC mode to "auto" when a schedule is deactivated. This would be especially beneficial for users with Homematic thermostats (and potentially other systems) where setting the HVAC mode to "auto" re-enables the thermostat's default weekly program.
Additional info
Currently, if I use the Scheduler Card to set specific temperature schedules for my Homematic thermostat, the thermostat’s internal weekly program (configured on the CCU3) is overridden. When the schedule in Home Assistant ends or is turned off, it would be ideal if the HVAC mode could automatically switch back to "auto" so that the thermostat can resume its own weekly program.
Feature Request:
Add an option in the Scheduler Card to set the thermostat's HVAC mode to "auto" when a schedule is deactivated or completed.
This would allow devices like Homematic thermostats to revert to their default weekly programs, configured outside of Home Assistant, when the Home Assistant schedule is not active.
Benefit:
This feature would provide a more seamless integration for thermostats that support built-in weekly programs, especially for users relying on Homematic devices. It would help avoid conflicts between Home Assistant schedules and thermostat settings, ensuring that after a Home Assistant schedule is disabled, the thermostat can return to its standard operation mode.
