I would like to find all available attributes of a thermostat in HA.
Ideally, writeable attributes will be switches and readable attributes will be sensors.
By using the property "entity_category" as "config" or "diagnostic" this fits well into the Home Assistant concept of devices.

Here are some examples of attributes that should cleverly arrive as Switch Entity in HA (entity category config):
externalwindowopen
displayflipped
locked
schedule_on
mountingmode
orientation
RadiatorCovered

As Select Entity:
mode
preset
fanmode
swingmode

As Number Entity:
externalsensortemp
offset

And here the diagnostic-entities which are all sensors:
on
windowopen
valve
SerpointChangeSource

battery (as already correct)

I have a sneaking suspicion that this means greater development effort. But I hope that there will be gradual improvements in how many of the possibilities can also be used through the Home Assistant UI.
