After a restart of Home Assistant, room temperature e planned room temperature will match till `actual_temp_sensor` will return a temperature value.
This is done to avoid possible issues with Homekit support with temperature sensor that need some time to sync with Home Assistant.

### MASTER CLIMATE
This field is used if the climate is a slevery one.
### RELATED CLIMATE
This field is used if the climate 2 climate object are related each other, for example if they used the same heater.
Set this field with the `entity_id` with a different climate object and this will prevent the heater/cooler to be turned off by the slavery climate if the master one is active.

For example I have 2 climate object, one for the room and one for the boiler.
For example I have 2 climate objects, one for the room and one for the boiler.
Boiler's climate is used to prevent freezing and, if the temperature is lower the the programmed one, room heater is turned on.
This means that, if the room's heater is on and boiler's heater is off, boiler will turn off the heater despite the room one.
With this `master_climate` field this unwanted turn off will not happen.

Note: my suggestion is to set it to both climates that are related each other.

## NOTE
This component has been developed for the bigger project of building a smart thermostat using Home Assistant and way cheeper then the commercial ones.
You can find more info on that [here][3]
