Gathering statistics on EvoHome integration

Hey there @zxdavb, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (evohome) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Code owner commands

Code owners of `evohome` can trigger bot actions by commenting: - `@home-assistant close` Closes the issue. - `@home-assistant rename Awesome new title` Change the title of the issue. - `@home-assistant reopen` Reopen the issue. - `@home-assistant unassign evohome` Removes the current integration label and assignees on the issue, add the integration domain after the command.

The work-around is to create a new template sensor for each thermostat:

  - name: Daniel's Room
    unique_id: daniel_s_room_current_temperature
    state: '{{ states.climate.daniel_s_room.attributes["current_temperature"] | replace(" c", "") | float }}'
    unit_of_measurement: '°C'
    state_class: measurement

Thanks. I will try that.

Would be nice if the sensors are marked with the proper state_class (measurement). Shouldn't be that hard. That way they can be used for statistics.

Thanks for your request.

As far as I know, statistics are limited to BinarySensor and Sensor entities, but evohome only has Climate entities.

I would have thought that the current_temperature on a climate entity would have been a prime candidate for stats - but that is an architectural issue.

I do not feel adding a Sensor entity to evohome is appropriate.

Thus, the above template sensor is the most appropriate solution.

Please do reply if I am wrong (quite possible), and you have better information.
