Thermostat Multi Tile Attribute Bug? 'Feature'?

Developer Programs Writing Device Types

The Thermostat Multi Tile Attribute seems to think it’s smarter than I am.

tileAttribute("device.temperature", key: "VALUE_CONTROL") {
				attributeState("default", action: "setTemperature")
			}

Doesn’t seem to allow for settings above 99f. I would like to set the heat above 99f — no one likes a luke warm hot tub.

Is this a feature? Am I missing something I need to configure elsewhere? @slagle @jody.albritton @duncan @bflorian

Try setting your own range?

range? On VALUE_CONTROL? Those are arrows not the slider. Does that control allow a range???

There is nothing in the documentation that would suggest that it takes a range.

Looks like this issue has you a bit sore — If only you had some nice hot water to help relieve that soreness! :wink:

In 2.1.0, if you edit your DTH to use the new preferred VALUE_UP and VALUE_DOWN states on the VALUE_CONTROL attribute, that should bypass the 99 maximum.
