Use HA sensor as external thermometer #2

In some of my rooms, the temperature that the mini-split reads on its return is higher than the experienced temperature in the room (sometimes by several degrees!). ESPHome can pull in HA sensors, so perhaps this module could dynamically adjust the set point it sends to the HVAC unit based on the difference between what the external sensor reads and what the return temperature reads.

Would probably require the module to maintain its own knowledge of setpoint as well as detect when the setpoint changes outside the module (ie: someone used a remote).
