Add Setpoint root type to current heating / thermostat handler

[gkirstei]

I am reaching out to report a compatibility issue I encountered with the homebridge-edomoticz plugin when integrating my Domoticz setup (beta version) with Apple's HomeKit. The Domoticz beta version was necessitated due to the inclusion of new OAuth authentication for the Netatmo hardware device, following changes in authentication by Netatmo.

Post this update, the setpoint thermostats in HomeKit now appear as "not supported." It seems the modifications made to the 'Thermostat Setpoint Device' in the Domoticz beta have affected the compatibility with HomeKit via your plugin. https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/5817 This feature was instrumental for me, and its malfunction impacts the system's usability significantly.

I understand that working with a beta version can introduce unforeseen issues, but since the Netatmo authentication change forced the use of the Domoticz beta version, addressing this compatibility issue would be highly beneficial to maintain the seamless HomeKit integration.

Need a full sample json api output for a working device…

Probably wants || this.Type == "Setpoint" adding at line 2226…

Yup, looks like copy paste suggested code from https://github.com/PatchworkBoy/homebridge-edomoticz/issues/274#issuecomment-1774219297 before the : at end of that line.

Restart homebridge. Test.

Solved. Thanks. Thermostat valves are responding to siri requests, again. :)

and line 636:
var therm = ((this.Type == "Thermostat" || this.Type == "Setpoint") && this.subType == "SetPoint") ? true : false;
