Feature request - Outside temperature based PID controller

[Pherax]

Would it be possible to have a PID controller which changes based on the outside temperature?

something like:

if T_out<0 and T_out>-5
kp: x.x
ki: x.x
if T_out<5 and T_out>0
kp: x.x
ki: x.x
if T_out<5and T_out>30
kp: x.x
ki: x.x

Hi Pherax,

A just stumbled on your question. I believe it's easily to program into your project with a combination of:

https://www.esphome.io/components/sensor/#on_value_range
https://www.esphome.io/components/climate/pid/#climatepidset_control_parameters-action

I didn't give it a try, but your pseudocode has the same layout as the "on_value_range" automation.

Hope this helps and makes the feature request unnecessary.
