Why is there a temperature range when setting AC in automatic?

[joshuadantonio]

Describe Your Problem:

I don't understand why when I set the AC to automatic in HomeKit, it shows a temperature range selector that says "keep the temperature between xx ° C and yy ° C". Is this supposed to happen?

I don't know if it is a bug or it is expected to be so, but in any case there is something in this selector that doesn't work: the air conditioner does not correctly receive the command and does not understand the range of temperatures that is given.
Even if I try to set the selector as I wish (eg "keep the temperature between 21 °C and 24 °C") the AC does not accept both values, but only one of the two.
And I just need to exit from HomeKit and re-enter, to notice that the AC forgets the range set and places both ends of the slider on a single temperature.
This makes the selector difficult to manage and unstable in behavior.

Is it possible to make the selector set a single temperature in automatic mode (as happens for hot and cold)?

Agreed, this seems useless. The setting only gets confusing and often doesnt work. Can we edit this somewhere in the files?
