Auto Mode for Air-Conditioner
Seems like what I want is similar to #337 .

This might be a little confusing, so you may have to read till the end, before concluding.

Basically instead of specifying the autocooltemperature in the config.json, can we use Auto mode in the home app to activate the Auto Mode while selecting the Auto Mode temperature on the Home App's interface instead of editing the config.json and restarting the service everytime the auto mode temperature needs to be adjusted.

The Auto mode is a superb feature and to make it useful for others at home it would be helpful if they can just set the temperature in the auto mode and not rely on the built-in thermostats in the ac units. This way the AC units will display the set temperature on its panel, while the Home App will display "Auto" and "Cooling/Heating to" to the temprature set on the Home App and not the temperature that is used by the Auto Mode to turn on the AC.

When the auto mode is selected, instead of changing it to cool or heat (as it is now) and displaying "cooling to xx" or "heating to xx" based on the IR command sent last (to set the temperature on the AC's internal thermostat), displaying the "Cooling to / heating to" temp from whats been set after selecting Auto Mode (on the Home App). Essentially:

1. Dont force Auto to Heat or Cool Mode. Set this as a parameter in the config.json, defaulting to current behavior. Perhaps something like "UseAutoThermostatMode" True/False - default, False.
2. When selecting "Auto mode" from the Home App, Use the temperature set in the Home App as the "autocooltemperature" or "autoheat temperature" depending on the PsedoMode settings given for he IR codes.
3. Use the IR codes specified in "DefaultCoolTemperature" and "DefaultHeatTemperature" to turn on the AC when in Auto Mode is selected in the Home App, whenever the temperature thresholds kick in.

Hope I have explained correctly, if not, please raise clarifications!

@lprhodes  Thank you for this great plug-in.
