Change “Heating to” to “Heat to”

[Bleh55]

The icon in Home.app says “Heating to xxx” and always throws me off thinking it is actively heating. Does it make sense to change that to “Heat to xxx”? That also matches the way thermostats display when it is not actively heating.

Yeah, unfortunately, this is HomeKit's thermostat behavior, and there's nothing that can be done either in this plugin or in Homebridge.

Reopening..looks like the Nest plugin handles this better. Will see if I can follow that pattern.

If you want it to look "idle" (thus say "Heat to..." instead of "Heating to...", and will be a green icon instead of orange), this

bindStaticValues() {
        this.service.updateCharacteristic(this.platform.Characteristic.TemperatureDisplayUnits, this.platform.getConfig().temperatureUnits === constants_1.TemperatureUnits.F
            ? this.platform.Characteristic.TemperatureDisplayUnits.FAHRENHEIT
            : this.platform.Characteristic.TemperatureDisplayUnits.CELSIUS);
        this.service.updateCharacteristic(this.platform.Characteristic.CurrentHeatingCoolingState, this.platform.Characteristic.CurrentHeatingCoolingState.HEAT);
    }

can be changed to this:

bindStaticValues() {
        this.service.updateCharacteristic(this.platform.Characteristic.TemperatureDisplayUnits, this.platform.getConfig().temperatureUnits === constants_1.TemperatureUnits.F
            ? this.platform.Characteristic.TemperatureDisplayUnits.FAHRENHEIT
            : this.platform.Characteristic.TemperatureDisplayUnits.CELSIUS);
        this.service.updateCharacteristic(this.platform.Characteristic.CurrentHeatingCoolingState, this.platform.Characteristic.CurrentHeatingCoolingState.OFF);
    }
