Customise timeout

[Floppy]

I see in the underlying library that the timeout for connection is set to 5 seconds. This is fine for one of my thermostats, but the other one seems to respond more slowly. Could that timeout be added as an optional parameter to the library and up into the HA configuration, perhaps?

Hi. Over 5 seconds response time sounds very strange. Are you really sure that this is the problem? Have you tried underlying library as a command line tool, heatmiser_wifi, directly to your thermostats?

Could you measure the actual response time?

I've not yet, but I'll give it a go. Sometimes it works on an HA restart, sometimes not. I think the device is getting a bit old and decrepit tbh, it falls off the wifi with regularity as well. I'll have a deeper poke at it 👍
