+This custom component for Home Assistant is an upgrade and is a complete rewrite of the component "Awesome thermostat" (see [Github](https://github.com/dadge/awesome_thermostat)) with addition of features.

+## When to use / not use
+This thermostat aims to command a heater which works only in on/off mode. This thermostat is not suitable for heaters with a pilot wire. The minimal needed configuration to use this thermostat is:
+1. an equipement like a heater (a switch),
+2. a temperature sensor (or an input_number)
+
+Because this integration aims to command the heater considering the preset configured and the room temperature, those informations are mandatory.
 
 ## Why another thermostat implementation ?
 For my personnal usage, I needed to add a couple of features and also to update the behavior that I implemented in my previous component "Awesome thermostat".

+## Even / even better with custom:simple-thermostat front integration
+The custom:simple-thermostat (see https://home.clouderial.fr/hacs/repository/158654878) is a great integration which allow some customisation which fits well with this thermostat.
+You can have something like that very easily ![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/dev/images/simple-thermostat.png?raw=true)
