KartoffelToby / better_thermostat

This custom component for Home Assistant will add crucial features to your climate-controlling TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) to save you the work of creating automations to make it smart. It combines a room-temperature sensor, window/door sensors, weather forecasts, or an ambient temperature probe to decide when it should call for heat and automatically calibrate your TRVs to fix the imprecise measurements taken in the radiator's vicinity.

What is the feature?

so. from time to time i hav a issue with a sensor getting dropped by the zigbee network/controller. and instaed of just ignoring it. the bette thermostat just stops working all together. let us say my outside thermometer or a window/door sensor is not available. all my thermostats stops working at all (or at least it becoms unavailable in the home assistant UI/system)

it would be nice if the senosor with no value is jist ignored.

Same here: the batteries in my weather sensor ran out, and the BT stopped working—despite having configured a weather service as a fallback that could have been used.
