Currently supported functionality:
- Setting heat/cool temperature when the thermostat is in the appropriate mode.
- Changing the operation mode of the thermostat (heat/cool/off/auto)
- Turning the fan on/off
- Reading and setting the humidity level and limits
- Turning away mode on/off
- Turning hold mode on/off
The following values are supported for the hold_mode state attribute:
off: Enables the scheduling functionality.temperature: Disables the schedule and holds the set temperature indefinitely.
Note - Please ensure you update your thermostat to the latest firmware. Currently tested on firmware 5.10.
