What does this do? How does it work?

Hi, is not ready yet. I would say that is functional now but some issues with statuses sent from it. is an interface for a heater; the slider is the custom temperature set by the user, the slider is changing the target temperature. the node should receive a message with topic "currentTemp" which is the refere temperature. That message triggers also the calculation to decide if it should turn the heater on or off which is outputting a message with "heatterStatus" and this value you can tune the heater on or off. I'm publishing it because on my local server I have to get it from internet.

One quick question is that: What temperature hardware are you targeting?

You said that "is an interface for a heater; the slider is the custom temperature set by the user, the slider is changing the target temperature."

Please what do u mean exactly?
