Cannot use input number as heater entity

[Rudd-O]

Describe the bug

With PWM turned off (0) the heater entity is being used by this integration as a floating point number store. Which is good. I want this.

Unfortunately, using an input number helper does not work:

The number entity is certainly available.

Here is the bug:

Can't call the NUMBER domain on an INPUT_NUMBER entity.
