Allow changing the temp sensor that climate reads from

My thermostat’s temp sensor is very inaccurate. I would love to be able to change the temp sensor for an individual climate entity. Possibly with something as follows:

customize:
  climate.living_room_hvac:
    current_temperature: '{{ states("sensor.living_room_temperature") }}'

I don’t know what climate device you are using but could this help?

I did explore this idea; however, the device I have is a thermostat with heat, cool, and heat_cool modes. Generic thermostat can only support heat and cool modes.
