Thermostat behaviour
Hi,
I have the zb1 model and the integration is working as it should. However, I have a question about the thermostat/climate function. Would it be possible to have a behavior more in line with the standard generic_thermostat ? Right now the thermostat function seems to be quite buggy in these heaters, it goes to the set temperature but instead of turning off it just throttles down power-usage (though still using 1 kW), which is really not energy-efficient. It would be so much better if it could behave like the HA generic_thermostat platform, with a +/- tolerance to a set temperature and turn off/on when certain limits are reached (and thus bypassing the heater's internal logic).
Follow-up: having the possibility to use a different sensor instead of the builtin on might also be an option as it seems to be quite inaccurate
