Feature Request: current temperature sourced from temperature sensor

[mattmac24]

I use this to create a temperature-controlled heater using a dumb electric heater connected to a smart switch and a temp sensor to close the loop. I do this with a HomeKit automation that runs every minute to turn the heater on/off.

It would be fantastic to see the current temperature value set using a value from the temperature sensor. My HomeKit automation could store the value somewhere that could then be exposed to the dummy thermostat.

Bonus if I could only have the 'heater' and 'off' modes and remove the 'cooling' and 'auto modes.

Thank you

Agree with Mattmac24, would be a nice update.

Mattmac24, I am trying to do the setup you described above, but for some reason it’s not running on my end. Is your setup/steps something you would be willing to share? I #

Hi all, I create this for my own use.

But if you want to use you must use Node-Red for update température for Dummy thermostat.

I use for an radiator not compatible for somfy automation.

I get température with api and set it in dummy thermostat every minute with node-red

@guylopes71 I did get it working. But not using this plug-in and in a pretty messy way. I posted the steps here

@tthma I have just done 5 minutes of reading about node-red and it sounds like a much better solution and something I should learn about and start using.
