Thank you @raffy-ops for this blueprint! Please check my fork to find a little fix in the branch with timeout set

Thanks, @raffy-ops for this blueprint! I ran into a similar problem as here with Hungarian "í" character, so I simplified the name_id with slugify. Check my fork.

Sorry for the very late reply @danieleparazza , I don't check on github as much as Homeassistant.
I have implemented both yours and @gyuris fixes into the latest version. I appreciate you both for doing the hard parts for me!

As for any other fixes feel free to keep making suggestions and/or figuring it out and allowing me to implement your code into future releases!

I've published a new version of this blueprint (v2.0.0) with the major improvement of not using snapshot scene to store the HVAC state as it doesn't save additional attributes such as swing, fan or preset settings. It also limits the number of service calls to only the necessary ones limiting the "apparently random beeps" around the house.

You can find the latest version and changelog here

Thanks @danieleparazza, it works well for me!
