Concepts
The NuHeat Thermostat supports the following key concepts.
The target temperature is the temperature that the device attempts to achieve. The target temperature is either determined by the schedule programmed into the thermostat (auto mode) or may be overridden. When the target temperature is set by Home Assistant, the thermostat will hold this temperature until the schedule is resumed.

Actions
The following actions are provided by the NuHeat Thermostat: set_temperature, set_hvac_mode, set_preset_mode.
Action climate.set_hvac_mode (Climate integration)
NuHeat Thermostats do not have an off concept. Setting the temperature to min_temp and changing the mode to heat will cause the device to enter a Permanent Hold preset and will stop the thermostat from turning on unless you happen to live in a freezing climate.
Action climate.set_temperature (Climate integration)
If the thermostat is in auto mode, it puts the thermostat into a temporary hold at the given temperature.
If the thermostat is in heat mode, it puts the thermostat into a permanent hold at the given temperature.
Action climate.set_preset_mode (Climate integration)
The following presets are available: Run Schedule, Temporary Hold, Permanent Hold.
