Request: using other outside temperature sensor to override the built-in device sensor #273

Description

@infoedkok

I am looking for a solution to override the built-in boiler (heatpump, CV etc) outside temperature sensor ("OTGW_outside_ temperature") with another temperature sensor, not just the optional Dallas connected sensors.

In the Domoticz OTGW intergration, you can set any temperature sensor to control the outside temperatuur to act as the OTGW outside temperature sensor.

This is a use case when your boiler does not have a connected outside temperature sensor or there is a malfunction (e.g sun/wind influence to extrem) of the built in sensor.

Some workarounds?
I can find the "Sending commands over MQTT"
To control the OTGW you can publish commands to this topic /set//command. Default top topic: 'OTGW'
Example topics: OTGW/set/otgw-1234567890AB/command.So sending Outside Temperature to your OTGW with a local measurement of the outside temperature then it is this: topic: OTGW/set/otgw-1234567890AB/command value: OT=21.5

I will gave that a try
