Display set point *and* temperature in State for TRVs

TRV devices (radiator controls) such as the Danfoss, Devolo, Popp, and Stella have a set point *and* a current temperature. It would be very useful if you could list both temperatures in the state column of the device list instead of just one. Something like this would be ideal:

21C (setpoint 22C)

As it stands you have to click on each device in turn to gain an overview of the current settings.

Alternatively add a new column containing the current temperature.

Doesn't help with those devices, but my old Evohome plugin displays as 21' (22') if I remember rightly, but with both individual states also available in the state list.

Re: Display set point *and* temperature in State for TRVs

I have a plugin called Device Extensions that I could probably do something like that with, it would require that you set up a special "conversion device" that would concatenate the two values into something more meaningful. If it's something of interest let me know, I don't think it would really take too much to do that.

It would make sense for me too, my TRV sends the temp.
Otherwise, today someone posted a change request about adding more columns to the main view Indigo window, maybe in the future this can also be used for this purpose here.

Yes .... this is a very good alternative solution.
