Hot water schedule editing support

Feature request: it’d be nice if this home assistant integration supported editing the hot water schedule as well. Similarly to rooms, there’s a /domain/HotWater bit, which has a ScheduleId referencing one of the schedules under /domain/Schedule. The schedule structure is the same structure as for rooms, except Type is set to HotWater and it has different values for DegreesC.

With all this lack of anything to do, seems I have much time for coding. Been having a think about this one and would welcome thoughts on best way forward.

Option 1

Use the same wiser.get/set/copy_schedule services to be able to use this for heating and smartplugs (they have schedule too)

Pros

• Keeps it simple for the user with one service and then select the entity you wish to do for.

Cons

• What entity would you select for hotwater schedule? We only really have a status sensor and the set_hotwater_mode doesn’t need an entity so could be confusing.
• Api will need updating to allow schedules to be get/set/copy by schedule id as well as room
• The service is defined in the climate sensor. Will need significant change to move these to integration level so can be used across multiple entity types.

Option 2

Create another 3 (get/set/copy) services for hotwater schedule and another 3 for smartplugs

Pros

• Simplifies change needed to implement
• Won’t need an entity to be selected for hotwater (as per set_hotwater_mode service) so consistent

Cons

• There will be 9 services relating to schedules (bit messy in the list)
• Will need to rename existing schedule services to make clear they are for rooms (breaking change)

Option 3

Relook at the water heater component to see if we can make this fit.

Pros

• We will have an obvious entity to use for hotwater services
• It already has built in functions for setting operation mode and we can add boosting in the same way that it works for climate sensors

Cons

• Will still need separate services for get/set/copy schedules - so still 9 as per option 2
• It looks like a climate sensor with set temp - can you even set temp on Wiser hotwater? Could we find a work around for this?

Welcome views on best way forward.
