Max! Thermostat disable internal schedule in auto mode

Hi everyone,
at the moment I am using Max! Thermostats with homegear and openhab, done after this guide.

HOWTO: Reflash MAX!Cube to CUL/CUNx and use with homegar and homematic binding

There are many posts in the community about MAX!Cube looses it’s configuration from time to time, which was also an issue I faced many times. I tried with a second cube and several power supplies, but could not get a stable solution. I then found some interesting posts about reflashing the MAX!Cube to be a CUL or even while using the network Interface act as a CUNx device. I hope you will find the following tutorial useful. Reflashing the MAX!Cube I followed these instructions for Windows (G…

Everything works fine.
Now I wanted to use the timelinepicker for the heating.

Timeline picker to setup heating, light and so on

openHAB timeline picker v3 This project extends openHABs basicUI by a sitemap component to setup timebased processes. (e.g. heating control, light control, rollershutter) In the component you can set and change intervals by mouse or touch and combine them with any switching states. An alias for each switching state is possible, which is displayed in the legend. (e.g. heating control: 23°C - alias: comfort). By combination with sunrise and sunset relative switching points are possible. The setu…

Is there a possibilty to disable this internal schedule for auto mode, or do I have to use a “fake auto mode” and keep the thermostats always in manual mode?
Thanks for your help and best regards
Daniel

When set to auto mode, the internal schedulers, stored in the devices, are used. So yes, you have to keep the devices set to manual mode.
