+### ⚠️  Breaking Changes
 
 - **thermostat:** Auto mode from Home Assistant is no longer supported for climates / thermostats. It just doesn't fit into the Matter specification.
-  Instead, Heat/Cool from Home Assistant is mapped to AutoMode in Matter.
-  I tried to test as much as possible, but since I don't have any real climate device I needed to use GenericThermostat and BetterThermostat to make virtual climates.
-  My testings were therefore limited to simple tests with simple climates. This change could break existing behaviors.
-  Please provide feedback what is working as expected, and what isn't (#261).
