Hi,
Right now the PID Component only accepts a float output for heating or cooling, however a common cooling component is a fan.
I have a setup using a speed fan component to cool a server rack, and the speed fan uses a custom output for a digital potentiometer (digipot), which controls the fan.
I can link the custom output to the PID directly, but then the Fan won't show up in HA with the current speed, so I have to create a template output that would update the custom digipot output. Seems like an unnecessary step.
So should the PID also accept any component as the heat or cool output that uses a float output? AC dimmer, speed fan, light (such as a heat lamp), etc. Definitely the fan at a minimum, since it is a climate component.
Anyways, just a thought.
