[REQ] Add temperature sensor entity to expose current room temperature for area assignment in Home Assistant

Add temperature sensor entity to expose current room temperature for area assignment in Home Assistant

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes. The IRSAP integration currently does not expose a standalone temperature sensor entity for rooms (e.g. "Bagno").
Although the UI shows the current temperature under Controls (e.g. Currently: 29.9 °C), this value is not exposed as a usable sensor entity.

This becomes a problem when trying to assign a temperature sensor to a Home Assistant area, since no matching entity is found.

Describe the solution you'd like

Expose a sensor.bagno_temperature (or equivalent) that reflects the actual current temperature measured by the radiator device.
This sensor would allow:

• Assignment to Home Assistant areas
• Use in dashboards and statistics
• Use in automations based on room temperature

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Using Bagno Temperature Offset: this is a static configuration value, not the live temperature.
• Creating a manual template sensor: not ideal as it depends on internal state parsing and breaks integration transparency.

Additional context

• Integration: IRSAP NOW (RE device)
• Firmware: 3.22
• Room: Bagno
• Home Assistant can't find a compatible temperature sensor entity to assign to this area.

Screenshots

Room settings in Home Assistant — no temperature sensor available:

Let me know if you need help with testing or validating once the entity is exposed.
Thanks again for your great work on this integration!

The current temperature can be read directly from the climate domain entity, I don't understand why create another sensor.

Hi @valerix85, thanks for the quick follow-up!
Below you can find all the details you asked for.

What happens

1. Go to Settings → Areas & Zones → Bathroom → Edit.
2. In Related sensors → Temperature sensor, the drop-down is empty.
3. There is no standalone temperature sensor.* with device_class: temperature.

Expected: a sensor.bathroom_temperature (or similar) so that HA can assign it to the area and use it in dashboards/statistics.

Ok @wit3 , no worries we will add it to the next beta. Please test it before this beta and after we can release a new one. Thanks Inviato da Outlook per iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
