Thermostat tile - Delay or popup dialog

📝 Dashboards Hubitat Dashboard

I've never really used the thermostat dashboard tile as it was always easier to use the honeywell app. I just replaced the honeywell with a radio thermostat.

It doesn't seem to be well suited to change a wide range of temperatures. Ie, move the set point from 40 to 60. Every up/down click sends a command to the thermostat which quickly overwhelms it, then the setpoint on the dashboard starts jumping around.

It'd be nice if there was a delay from once you get it to where you want it before sending the command. Or possibly a popup dialog like when clicking on a color bulb tile where you can enter a value directly.

There is a work-around you could do.

You can make a hub variable connector to take the setpoint as a number. Make a tile with it on the dashboard with the variable number template. It will act as an input tile.

Then make a simple rule to set the thermostat setpoint to that variable when it changes from you changing the number on the dashboard.
