Econet thermostat unit locked to Fahrenheit

[DailytheNoob]

The problem

The unit of measure in the Thermostat entity is converted to Fahrenheit even though both the Thermostat itself and HA are set to Celsius.

Here is where it is forced to Fahrenheit: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/econet/climate.py#L67 _attr_temperature_unit = UnitOfTemperature.FAHRENHEIT

What this causes: The UI shows odd fractions of Celsius that conveniently map to Fahrenheit

• 20.6°C when setting to 21°C
  • 69°F
• 21.7°C when setting to 22°C
  • 71°F
• 22.8°C when setting to 23°C
  • 73°F

I'm not proficient enough to know how to fix that. I tried just taking off the .FAHRENHEIT and also replacing it with .CELSIUS with no change.

If that's just something that Rheem decided was a good idea because they aren't the brightest and not many people use Celsius, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe this is a quirk of their API. All temperatures return in Fahrenheit. Its been a long time since I've looked at this, but I remember thinking it didn't make much sense. Someone with a thermostat or @DailytheNoob if you enable debug logs could confirm if that's the case. Pyeconet will log out the API responses.
