Build in Gree integration - add external temp. Sensor

Hello there, I test new Gree integration. It work well, but on custom component, it possible to set tem. sensor. it somehow do the built-in integration?

the old integration config:

- platform: gree
  name: Nappali klíma
  host: 192.168.31.124
  port: 7000
  mac: 'xxxx'
  target_temp_step: 1
  temp_sensor: sensor.nappali_temperature
#  encryption_key: !secret nappali_klima_key

Yes, that would be nice since now it shows set temp two times. At least with Gree Lomo series. Maybe some versions has capability to show real temp?

@jiisaa Possible. But the old external integration it possible to set a different entity (i use my room thermostat)

Hi, were you able to set the external temp sensor?

in the climate.py of the integration is:

@property
def current_temperature(self) -> float:
"""Return the target temperature, gree devices don't provide internal temp."""
return self.target_temperature

Any progress in this thing?

Hi,

Is there any plan on implementing this feature (current temperature from external thermometer)?
Currently the “current temperature” value is useless as it shows the temperature set on the device.
