Fridge / Freezer Thermostat control

[jgstroud]

I've added support for the fridge and freezer thermostats, but I see this project does not accept pull requests. Is there any interest in this patch?

Sorry, no. I am not willing to add Thermometer services to this plugin (regardless of whether it is for Cooling or Cooking appliances).

I use Siri to control by heating system and to check the temperatures in my house. Adding Thermostat services that don’t measure/control the room temperature would result in Siri treating them as part of the house heating controls. Asking Siri for the house/room temperature would include those in the reported min/max. Similarly asking Siri to adjust the room target temperature would also set those controls.

This was previously discussed in #58 and my attitude has not changed.

Perhaps Apple will add new HomeKit Services with different semantics to support Matter 1.2…

Valid point. Seems like we could just add a checkbox in the config to determine whether or not to include the additional controls. But like you have stated before, it's a personal project for you and it doesn't suite your needs.

Thanks for open sourcing your work.
