The first time I received an update at Mi Home. When I entered the Mi Home application, I saw that an update for the heater appears. I did that update. It's still not clear if everything works. I'll come up with details in the next few days.
Some observations:
Firmware 2.0.8.0005 indeed makes the heater turn off completely when the required temperature is reached. (Region - Russia)
However, the internal sensor still shows the temperature several degrees lower than it should be. This behavior seems to be an outcome of the bad sensor placement rather than a software issue. Too close to the cold floor! Since the sensor is almost external, you can find it at the bottom, under the area with buttons, its readings can be "corrected" by covering it. For example, a puffy woolen sock placed between a floor and the sensor warms it up enough to show almost the correct temperature.

I can confirm the FW update in the case of the German region (used in Hungary)!
(it popped up a few hours ago)
Experienced the same difference between the measured temperatures in the case when the heater works or it's turned off.
I'll try to "play" with the sensor as @rororo mentioned it, however, this is definitely progress about the original issue.

HI i did actually move the sensor. it was absolutley better and the heater now runs a bit calmer and not full effect all the time.
Hi, i voided the warranty of course and started with putting that just above the panel. i have another i will try to put it below the panel to see the differences.
but i can already say that it runs on lower effects. and before my kid could burn himself on the cover. even indoors in a warm haous.

Thanks, @TomTom66!
Before I managed to disassemble the heater I'll try to create some kind of thermal insulation using a piece of polystyrene or something.
well i did measure the temp on the floor,,,and i can uderstand that the thermostat runs always..its cold
Got the update and all keeps the same.maybe worst
Have a smart plug and have been monitoring it for the past day.
before, I got the internal temp way above real temperature (measured with a xiaomi sensor), like room at 22 and heater saying 26! Even so it wouldn’t cut of the power .
Now it gives 2 or 3 degrees below the sensor! Not powering totally off still keeping the 900watt minimum power and increasing to 2200 more often do to the lower temperature!
already tried to return it but the store is terrible, Castro electrónica- tugas não comprem lá. And my electrical bill is huge because of this heater.

Hi, I had the similar problem. Room temp was 22 and the heater was set on 18. But it was still heating...problem was a very cold tiled floor. The temp sensor is located on the bottom of the heater and was reading the floor temp. You can place a towel or something else underneath the heater to avoid this. Than probably the problem is solved. ( Hopefully )

RMA-ed mine about 3 weeks ago. "The manufacturer coundn't repair, nor replace the product" so i got a refund. (Hungary)
I cannot update - the update shown but doens't do anything ! Doesn't start downloading !
Region: Spain
Same problem here. The update shows, i push "upgrade now", says "downloading 0%" for one or two seconds, and then does nothing.
I've tried a different region with the same result.
Same here.
My default region is Portugal and I already tried with different regions, like Germany, Chinese Mainland, etc. and I'm not able to get the firmware to update.
Region: Greece
Same problem here. The update shows , i push "update", says "downloading 0%" and stuck there for a minute.....
I've just successfully installed last firmware. I've unplugged the device (by chance), when i've plugged again, and the app has recognized the device, it has shown the message of available update, but this time it has begun the download, then install, and now the device is in the last firmware version.
Today suddenly the app takes the latest firmware (2.0.8.0005) .(App.Current version 6.3.702)
In my house I have Norwegian heaters which are perfectly good working for two years. When I find out that xiaomi have this cheap heaters I was thrilled and immediately bought few peaces for my weekend house. After I found out they don't automatically shout off I couldn't believe. How could this be possible? How can this devices pass European quality tests. This is not only environment unfriendly but also dangerous.
Can you report is issue fixed with new update?
And another question, is anyone using them normaly, like 24/7, 7 days a week, automatically, like they should be in the first place?
I am seriously thinking to raise this issue on EU customer courts..
EDIT: EVERYTHING WORKS WITH NEW FIRMWARE UPDATE! No problem anymore, at least for me.

Has this issue been resolved with the latest firmware update?
I am thinking about buying this convection heater but I'm not sure if it's a good idea?
