Node(API) Configuration or whatever be your Temperature Sensor platform (What the plugin expects to receive)

The apiAdress is used for two main calls: Get and Set data to the Thermostat. Your Node(API) should provide it

1. Get Current Temperature and Current Humidity from Temp + Hum Sensor.

JSON Format with:

GET /dht
{
    "temperature": FLOAT_VALUE,    // Current Temperature
    "humidity": FLOAT_VALUE        // Current Humidity
}

1. Get Current Battery Status from Temp + Hum Sensor.

JSON Format with:

GET /battery
{
    "level": INT_VALUE      // Current Battery Level Value of 0 to 100
    "charging": INT_VALUE   // Current Charging State 0 NOT CHARGING 1 CHARGING 2 CAN NOT CHARGE
    "low": INT_VALUE        // Current Low Battery State 0 DESACTIVATED 1 ACTIVATED
}
