LG Air Conditioner Model
LSN090HSV5 / RAC_056905_WW

Describe the bug
I get this error when the AC is set to Auto. When I set HomeKit to Auto, the AC switches to Fan.

Symptom check

• Does your unit appear in the Home app? Yes
• Is the current on/off state, temperature, and mode being reported? Yes - except for mode having fan/auto reversed per above
• Does your unit respond to the controls? Yes

Same symptoms for LG model LW1017ERSM. Today was the first I saw it, so I don't know for sure what triggered the issue. I went into Settings and changed the refresh interval to 1 a day instead 1 a minute. Everything seems to work currently, but the Error makes me concerned.

Unfortunately right now, there isn't a good way to detect whether a product support true "auto" mode or not, HomeKit doesn't support a fan-only mode for A/C units, and the RAC_056905_WW identifier is shared among units which do and do not have true "auto" support

This will have to be fixed in a future version which adds better feature auto-detection
