Is an external temperature source supported? about esp32-faikin HOT 2 CLOSED

Basically it handles some specific MQTT messages from the other sensor. I may even have documented them now.

But also can now handle a BlueCoinT BLE temperature sensor directly, which seems to work very well.

The external temp logic only works by the Faikin controlling the settings hight/low, it is not possible to tell the Aircon the external temperature itself sadly (that would be nice), so sending external control temperature tells it to take control, setting heat/cool/fan accordingly. This means you need to send target too as the Faikin can no longer rely on the target from the Aircon itself as that would need to be set high/low to control it.

An example of the external control is:

command/GuestAC/control {"env":22.00,"target":[16.000,32.000]}
