Get temperature with decimals

[mrbluebrett]

Hi, is it possible to get temperature with decimals? Previously I used an Intesishome module and reported temperatures with a resolution of 0.5º. So can we get the temperature with one decimal to get the 0.5º steps with this?

EDIT: in code I see this comment: // there is one leading bit here that is unknown - probably a sign bit for negative temps? Can it be the 0.5º indicator?

Older units work without decimals... The newer units are with decimals. Normaly you have this problem also with your IR remote controller.

It’s the same ac unit. I just replaced the intesis home module by a custom esp32.

Yes, but you can only adjust temp by 1°C

I ment the ambient temperature. The reading from the actual temperature.

As far as i know the line protocol doesnt have capacity for 0.5degC resolution -- however there is one unknown bit in the temperature field:

the other possibility is that the Intesishome unit had its own internal sensor?

How can i expose this unknown bit into a variable named for example as a variable named unknown bit (with value 0 and 1) so i can log the vale in HA and check if it changes between the change of every degree??
