Support for minus degrees in thermostat #116

Could it be possible to add support for minus degrees in thermostat?

ArjanKranenburg commented 4 years ago

I'm not very happy to do that. I've increased the range once from 0 - 100, but then people could not fine-tune degrees between 20 and 40, which is the most used range. I think a dedicated app would be the easiest solution. May I ask what is the use? What range would work for your use-case?

Ok I fully understand that. It is actually a work-around from Homey lack of temperature shown direct in app. Your thermostat does what I want but only to +4 degrees. I understand that this is outside of what the thermostat is designed for.

For me, it would be useful to be able to set the target_temperatur at values from 0 to 50, it is now from 4 to 50, but I want to use it to show the minimum temperature from my refrigerator om a tile.

Maybe it's an idea to also have a universal display where we can show all kinds of values? Thanks, i.a.

Further, it would be handy to have the available technical names, displayed in a pulldown menu in the action-card.
