Use temperature sensor instead of tado in office

[pjaspers]

Move office to generic thermostat and use the separate temperature sensor

[pjaspers]

Generic thermostat will not play nice with tado, it can only do 'off' and 'on', it can't tell tado 'heat for a bit'

I also found out that Tado has 'Early Start' functionality which allows me to tell it to get a room to 'x degrees' at time y. Tado will figure out when to start heating, so it reaches that temperature at the right time (taking into accord the weather etc, which is kind of what I want)

So, not sure if I want to replace all that with a custom thermostat running in home assistant.

So try to get the office one to something that works with tado, I think it will need a template or something, and a thermostat UI thing.

Idea: Use https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic_thermostat, but instead of a switch have it toggle a boolean, check for changes on that one, when active have it set tado to 2 degrees more than it currently is, thus starting to heat, then once the temp is reached turn it off again.

This would:

• have a UI (thanks to the thermostat thing)
• Not be too hacky
• Still work nice with tado
