Homematic climate errors

[nicx]

With latest HA version 0.98.5 and latest CCU Firmware 3.47.15.32 (in my case a virtualized Debmatic VM) I get these errors with climate devices:

Is this pyhomematic related or HA related or even user related? :)

Hey there @pvizeli, @danielperna84, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (homematic) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

This is no more happening so far with current versions of HA and Debmatic, so this Issue could be closed.

Still present in 0.99.3:

it's happening again here, too :(

[stale]

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.
Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍
This issue now has been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

This does not seem to be closed: Happening here as well with core-2022.2.9 works only for 1 out of 6 climate devices.
