Change maxTemp for thermostat

[iCarl]

Can i change the maxTemp for the target temperature in any way?
I'd like it to go to 99°C and not the standard 38°C.
EDIT: I'll try to edit https://github.com/KhaosT/HAP-NodeJS/blob/master/accessories/Thermostat_accessory.js

As of today this isn't exposed to a config option by homekit2mqtt, minValue is, maxValue not. Is a small change, will try to implement it asap.

Oh man :) I didn't realize that this is already possible! :-) You cant do it via the ui, but you can edit the .json file manually and just add a props object to your thermostat like e.g.

  "...": {
    "service": "Thermostat",
    "name": "...",
    "topic": {
      ...
    },
    "props": {
       "targetTemperature": {
         "maxValue": 99
      }
    }
  }

This isn't working for me. I want to set a min and a maxvalue can you help?

Oops, sorry, typo. The leading T has to be capitalized.
Just tested this config - it works:

  "test/Heizung": {
    "service": "Thermostat",
    "name": "Heizung Test",
    "topic": {
      "setTargetTemperature": "test/set/TargetTemperature",
      "statusTargetTemperature": "test/status/TargetTemperature",
      "statusCurrentTemperature": "test/status/CurrentTemperature",
      "statusCurrentRelativeHumidity": "test/status/CurrentRelativeHumidity"
    },
    "props": {
      "TargetTemperature": {
        "maxValue": 20,
        "minValue": 0
      }
    }
  }

Thanks, maybe that's all it is.

Why is this not on the readme?
