Cannot return the thermostat to programming due to 0 no longer being an accepted temperature value

[benedictvantrigt]

The problem

Somewhere in the past year the behavior of Climate: Set target temperature changed for the opentherm integration (or for all integrations, I cannot evaluate that). The result is that I cannot set the temperature to 0 anymore, setting the temperature to 0 should reset the thermostat back to programming. But that is no longer possible since this change.

I have tried a customization to change the min_temp however still I cannot set the temp to 0. I think it will need to be changed in the code it self..

It seems there were changes here in the past year so it would make sense that those caused the issue?

The min_temp has been 1 since at least 2019. What makes you think it changed in the past year? Maybe Home Assistant just became more vocal about the unsupported value?

I am also curious why this could be useful. I see that both TT and TC commands support the value, but I also know that the thermostat can always override the value we set manually anyway. With the TT command changes in the thermostat program will override our setting as well. We can change the command we send in the integration options (Temporary Setpoint Override Mode). In which situation would a value of 0 be useful if we already have the functionality described here?
