Add the capability to group humidity sensor with thermostat. #145

Current Situation

The humidity values are registered as a separate device in HomeKit.

Proposed Change

I wanted to request this because I think it would make the interface in HomeKit much cleaner. The TCC integration only allows for humidity values to be read as a separate icon, but HomeKit does have the capability to include the humidity value with the thermostat, as seen with my Carrier Infinity thermostats through the Carrier integration. Attaching pictures. With the current configuration on TCC it makes it difficult for other people in the house to see the humidity reading. You have to go into the room to see the value as a separate icon which can be confusing for people that aren't technically inclined IMG_2429 .

Additional Context

I don't know how to code, but would be happy to support this in any way I can.

@lukebur06 As my TCC Thermostat does not support humidity my ability to make this change is very limited, maybe the author of the humidity functionality can do something with this. @johnjensenish Are you able to look at this

I did take a look at the humidity implementation, and it appears to be creating individual devices as some thermostats support multiple temperate and humidity sensors. So this may be tricky to implement.
