+This thermostat aims to command a heater which works only in on/off mode. 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)
+2. a temperature sensor for the room (or an input_number),
+3. an external temperature sensor (think of the meteo integration if you don't have one)
 
 Because this integration aims to command the heater considering the preset configured and the room temperature, those informations are mandatory.
