Need Cooling option for thermostat #484

Open MTT83 opened 1 year ago

Hello.

iam asking to add the option of cooling thermostat as the option available now only heating.

In the official Apple HomeKits cooling thermostat the numbers or the status of the current or target temperature will be shown as Blue color and even the status will be written as "Cooling to ..".

In your plug in the numbers or the status of the current or target temperature will be shown as Orange color and even the status will be written as "Heating to .." or sometimes "Set to .."

Actually it's not heating, and i can get the thermostat cooling, but its complicated for the numbers and status showing on the screen, also very important thing it will conflict any Automations or Scenes, example if i will ask Siri what is the status of my AC it will reply its heating the house but actually it's cooling.

Iam living in United Arab Emirates, which most of the year we are using the thermostat for cooling, never for heating, maximum temperature maybe we will use is 27 Celsius in winter time, but in Summer we are using range of 18 to 20 Celsius.

Please check below the 3 screen shots of my iPhone showing my Home App, as you can see "Dininig" is your plugin (Tuya) and "Majlis" is an certified official thermostat from Apple (Honeywell).
