Feature request "Heat operation" operating mode

[erikengl]

In the Panasonic app and on the remote I have an option for an operating mode that allows me to set the temperature down to 8 degrees Celsius. When using normal heat mode I can only lower it to a minimum of 16 degrees.

I have the Panasonic heat pump at our cabin. Setting the temperature down to 8 degrees is very useful in the winter when we are not there, but want to keep the inside warm enough so that no pipes are freezing.

I have been trying to find out what this operating mode is called, by Panasonic, but I think it is "Heat operation".

Actually this mode is called "RFP" (Room Freeze Protection) it has two options (8 and 10 degrees Celsius). The following pconfortcloud package commands allow to set it: constants.Power.On + constants.OperationMode.Heat + constants.FanSpeed.High + (temperature=8.0 OR temperature=10.0). It would be nice to have this mode accessible from HASS through the panasonic_cc package.

Some devices also have a freely adjustable range for this "8-15C" mode, for example, my "NZ25YKE". What worked for me in my HASS setup was to just change the min_temp here to 8.

I don't see anything useful in pcomfortcloud to base the minimum temperature on, only possible candidate I see when I dump the raw data for my device is summerHouse, my value is 2 but I can't find any more information about how it functions.

Maybe there should be a configuration parameter to set the minimum supported temperature? Or just set the default lowest temperature to 8? Would either those changes be accepted if I made a PR @sockless-coding ?
