Description

Hi.

First, thanks for working on this plugin. seems to work great on regular use.

I played around with it, but can't seem to get what I want, but maybe I am doing it wrong.

I would like to set the temperature to let's say 19, and when the room temperature reaches this temperature the aircon shuts off. is this possible? I am using a file as a thermostat value.

Research direction
Investigate how the homebridge broadlink rm plugin currently handles thermostat mode. Review the README and existing issues for any mention of thermostat functionality. The user wants to set a target temperature and have the air conditioner shut off when the room temperature reaches that setpoint, using a file as the thermostat value. Look at the plugin's configuration options and code to see if this is already supported or if a new feature is needed.
