ProximityEntity state should be numeric

[rumbu13]

Problem: State for ProximityEntity is a string

On the contrary, it is always measured in km, miles or other distance units.

Solution: Alter Code Generator

Use NumericEntityState to define ProximityEntity:

public record ProximityEntity : Entity<ProximityEntity, NumericEntityState<ProximityAttributes>, ProximityAttributes>

I guess we need to handle proximity separately in codegen @FrankBakkerNl ?

We basically have 3 types of domains now
1 always string (default)
2 always numeric, like input_number
3 only numeric if there is a unit of measurement attribute

Which of these would fit best here?

[rumbu13]

I would vote for 3, since unit_of_measurement is optional, but if not set, it is considered km and added by default to the state attributes.

Another one: CounterEntity state should also be numeric. Basically it's just an input_number where the value cannot be set but can be incremented, decremented or reset.

CounterEntity will fit best in the 2nd category.

Reference: Counter Integration

public partial record CounterEntity : Entity<CounterEntity, NumericEntityState<CounterAttributes>, CounterAttributes>

New one: InputDatetimeEntity state should be DateTime?
