Climate component reports wrong unit when converting between C - F

[balloob]

Home Assistant release (hass --version): 0.29.4
Python release (python3 --version): All
Component/platform: Climate
Description of problem:
The Climate component reports more than just a state in a specified unit. This is not a case that the automatic conversion of the Entity class can handle.

This results in that the Climate component will convert Celsius correctly to Fahrenheit but it will still show C as unit of measurement in the state and UI (and other way around too).

For this to be fixed, we should do the following steps:

• unit_of_measurement property should be owned by the climate ABC and be equal to self.hass.config.units.temperature_unit
• Introduce a new property that will be implemented by all climate platforms (ie temperature_unit)
• In ClimateEntity._convert_for_display pass self.temperature_unit instead of self.unit_of_measurement to convert_temperature.

Not sure why this is closed. #3755 is a first good stab at this. Reopening.

Oh sorry, the wrong issue. I have to close a other.

I was looking at this in a little more detail as it relates to ecobee.

As far as the ecobee api is concerned, everything seems to come back in F. The 'useCelsius' flag (which is True in my results) appears to simply mean the user has set Celsius and everything should be presented that way, but the data in the json object is Fahrenheit. As such the way the ecobee climate module implements this as written appears to be incorrect.

Is this solved for everyone now with 0.31?

@turbokongen looks good for me now..
