Expose all available attributes of thermostat to HA bundled as device

[Pe-MaKer]

I would like to find all available attributes of a thermostat in HA. Ideally, writeable attributes will be switches and readable attributes will be sensors. By using the property "entity_category" as "config" or "diagnostic" this fits well into the Home Assistant concept of devices.

Here are some examples of attributes that should cleverly arrive as Switch Entity in HA (entity category config): externalwindowopen displayflipped locked schedule_on mountingmode orientation RadiatorCovered

As Select Entity: mode preset fanmode swingmode

As Number Entity: externalsensortemp offset

And here the diagnostic-entities which are all sensors: on windowopen valve SerpointChangeSource battery (as already correct)

I have a sneaking suspicion that this means greater development effort. But I hope that there will be gradual improvements in how many of the possibilities can also be used through the Home Assistant UI.

I still have a lot of refactoring to do before this is possible to add in the integration, but Im slowly getting there!
