Limit/Reduce updates to heater: when PWM=0

[pos-ei-don]

I need a strategy to reduce valve movements to below 100 per day (because of mecanical reasons). Previously, I had some configuration options in an old smart home environment to achieve this.

As I am now migrating to Home Assistant, I hope to find a way to do this here as well.

For example:

• Actuator Threshold: Maintain the heater value if the calculated PID and the current PID value are within this range.
• Delta Threshold: If the difference between the measured temperature and the desired temperature is within this range, do not update the PID value.
• Overshoot Protection: If true, ignore the minimum cycle duration when overshooting the desired temperature to protect the system.

Explanation:

• Overshoot protection, when used with underfloor heating, can protect wood that might be very sensitive to high temperatures.
• Actuator Threshold: I to not need the valve to move from 4% to 5% wgen the desired-Temperature is within 1° Celsius. This is an unneeded movement of the valve.
