Actual heating status is not provided by this integration #105

Good day Thank for a very nice integration. I need to get the heater status (on or off) from the integration. I don't currently see it as a property. Any plans or idea on how I can get it? Thanks

Link to the Home Assistant docs concerning the difference between hvac_mode and hvac_action. The hvac_mode is provided by the state of the climate entity, which would return 'heat' if the spa is in the heat mode. The hvac_action is not provided by the spa controller, hence this integration doesn't provide it.

As I personally would love to gather this info, I looked again (and again!) at the packets exchanged with the spa... But they haven't changed since last time and the value has not magically appeared (too bad for us!).

Well... I won't just close this issue, but mention this limitation into the documentation.
