| DuoFern wall thermostat 9485 | Works | Thermostat plus temperature sensorSaved copyOne more change for the wall-mounted thermostat (DuoFern 9485) from me. This thermostat actually exposes two devices: the thermostat with deviceNumber 32501812_A a temperature sensor with deviceNumber 32501812_S This change adds support for the sensor. Also changed the thermostat accessory to set all characteristics on startup -- I've seen the Home app reporting zero values otherwise. Other accessories like the blinds are already doing it.
