Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:

• Create a switch widget like
  • service: climate.set_hvac_mode
  • EnityId: climate.myHeating
  • Hvac Mode: off
• save the widget
• try it, it will no work
• edit the widgest again
• --> you will see the Hvac Mode: off chaged to Hvac Mode: false

Additional information:
I also tried 'off' and "off", those are not "converted" to false, but still the switch does not work.
If I set heat as mode it works as expeted, but I'm not able to set off which changed to falseon saving the widget.

can you please get us the companion app logs when you save the widget and tap on it? it contains the service data we send so its good to look at what the app is trying.

Hi,
please find the log attached.
It seems like the value is converted by the UI:

[homeassistant_companion_log_6

If I can help or do any assistance, please let me know.

This appears to be 'intentional':

android/app/src/main/java/io/homeassistant/companion/android/widgets/common/WidgetDynamicFieldAdapter.kt

Line 212 in d9db8a0

"off" -> false

Edit: to properly fix this the app would really need to support a selector and it's values, which is what is used here: "set_hvac_mode":{"name":"Set HVAC mode","description":"Set HVAC operation mode for climate device.","fields":{"hvac_mode":{"name":"HVAC mode","description":"New value of operation mode.","selector":{"select":{"options":[{"label":"Off","value":"off"},{"label":"Auto","value":"auto"},{"label":"Cool","value":"cool"},{"label":"Dry","value":"dry"},{"label":"Fan Only","value":"fan_only"},{"label":"Heat/Cool","value":"heat_cool"},{"label":"Heat","value":"heat"}]}}}},"target":{"entity":[{"domain":["climate"]}]}}

right, seems to be some general conversion.
But wrong in this case.
However meanwhile I helped myself by creating a script to trigger the off mode instead of the HVAC_mode change action in the widget:

domain: climate
entity_id: climate.pool_heizung
type: set_hvac_mode
hvac_mode: "off"

This works.

Same issue with "climate.set_fan_mode" and the "Fan Mode" parameter. "on" is converted to "true" which isn't a valid value by the Ecobee integration. Off has the same problem but Ecobee uses "auto" in that case so it doesn't matter as much.
