Energy+ and FMU initial conditions problem

Deal all, I wrapped an EnergyPlus model using the EnergyPlusToFMU tool. Since we will run experiment in real time and with setpoints/meteo/renewableEnergy that comes from the outside (optimization, weather station, PVstation), I configured the idf in order to accept all this external signals. Everything seems to work correctly, a part for one thing. Rooms temperature (and %humidity) at the beginning of the simulation are really low (see picture 1 where the first day is represented, 180s simulation timestep). The strange thing is that if I remove the actuator that overwrites the outdoor air bulb temperature, temperatures initialize well!

ps: I launched the two FMU with a simulator. The only difference between the two FMUs is the above-mentioned actuator (that I must use!) Could be this a bug? Thank in advance for the answer. Paolo
