TemperatureSensor does not work because it is missing required temperature range attributes

[robnielsen]

According to https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/temperaturecontrol, the min and max thresholds are required for the TemperatureControl trait:

Attributes	Type	Description
temperatureRange	Object	Required. Supported temperature range of the device.
minThresholdCelsius	Number	Required. Minimum temperature for the range, in degrees Celsius.
maxThresholdCelsius	Number	Required. Maximum temperature for the range, in degrees Celsius.

Here's an example for my ecobee remotes sensor:

Thanks for reporting. Will create a PR to implement this.

@robnielsen Unfortunately, still with my changes implemented, the Google Home App does not provide any UI for the sensor and just shows its info screen. Voice queries do work though.

Maybe Google relies for sensors on the devices to update their state in the home graph automatically to show a UI, which openHAB is currently not able to do. -> Just tested it with my experimental setup and it does not make any difference.

@michikrug, This confirms what you are experiencing: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/244185535

I wonder if ecobee is using the trait TemperatureSetting with the sensor instead of TemperatureControl?

@michikrug, when I ask Google Assistant "what is the temperature upstairs", it responds "It's currently 66 degrees and Upstairs is off".

Haha, indeed. Just tested it with TemperatureSetting and exactly the same view as in your screenshot appeared. :D

@robnielsen I just created #432 to switch to the other trait. Will close the other PR #428 as it did not fix the sensor.
