Nest Gen 2 overriding my Plugin settings

First of all, great plugin and thanks for doing this.
I finally lost my patience with the poor reliability of my Venstars and bought a trial Nest Gen 2 device to see if it would be a more reliable solution.
I installed 2.0.32 plugin and it all works as advertised with a couple of exceptions:
- I actively use the heat off and heat on commands to shut off the heating when no-one is home. I find when I change the mode via the plugin, within a few seconds, the Nest changes it back to what it was previously set to. eg. if the heating is currently on and I send a heat off command to it, it goes off for a few seconds and flips back to heat on by itself. Similarly, if I'm in Heat mode and I send a cool command, it goes to cool mode for a few seconds and flips back.
- second issues is the heat points and cool points are 0 in the mode not selected. i.e. if I'm in Heat mode and the coolpoints returned from the Nest are 0. If I flip it to cool mode, the heat points from the Nest are 0. Not a big issue, but wasn't sure if this is intended behavior.
