Heat Stage 1 suddenly became Aux Heat in Thermostat Summary

Because of another change, beestat happened to start using the detected data instead of the reported data for system type which changed how things are displayed in a few places.

I just found beestat and its incredible so thanks for providing this!

However I am running into an issue where I don't really get good statistics because my ecobee triggers Aux heat on the heatpump despite not having any heat strips. The graphs and stats separate out heat and aux. Apparently this is how my unit (Bryant) communicates over 24V interface between ecobee, air handler, and compressor. I don't really understand exactly how it works but this thread indicates that it's ecobee's way of indicating that the room is going to need more heat than average. I did see this other thread. so for my case at least, it would be great if I could just combine all heat elements into a single source.
