Generic thermostat missing keep_alive from UI configuration

[Twanislas]

The problem

Hi team,

When configuring a generic thermostat using the UI, I can't find a way to set the keep_alive option. Please see screenshots below.

Is there a way to manually edit the configuration outside form the UI or the only other way is to define it via YAML config instead of the UI ?

Could you please look into it ?

Thanks !

It appears that there are a handful of options that are not configurable from the UI: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/2bce697aa7fb81f7616af619859b9c8c3b4cf0b5/homeassistant/components/generic_thermostat/climate.py#L83-L87 I'm not sure why those are defined in climate.py and not const.py which would then make it easier to have them exposed in the config flow for the UI.

I think the component code is a bit outdated after looking at another thermostat component. I also found some inconsistencies in it and tried to outline them in #140819 but maybe too many details in a single issue. 🙂 If I had sometime, I wouldn't mind getting a dev setup to try fixing it but currently dealing with a frequent HA corruption and having to rebuild from scratch.
