What is the bug?

• When used for cooling, Relay 2 will turn on based on temperature change, but will not switch back off although the snowflake reverts back to a thermometer. I can manually control the relay under devices and control and turn it off.
  Does not appear to be an issue if I set cooler_relay: "1", in the ESP Home yaml.

• target_low: appears to be a required override in the ESP yaml, otherwise compiling fails when calling "nspanel_esphome_addon_climate_dual.yamll", however not an issue using "nspanel_esphome_addon_climate_cool.yaml"

• In the climate card when I increase or decrease the temperature using the "+" or "-", the set point appears to step in increments of (0.9) so there may be a round down error opposed to a round up to the nearest integer, so I tend to get some odd temperature set points in roundoff of multiples of 0.9.

• Internal temperature sensors does not get converted from C to F, automatically when displaying to the panel.
  climate.nspx_thermostat entity reads correctly in HA Developer tools as 73.2 F, but when I use that variable on the nspanel, home display it reads out as 22.8 F. I have, of course have "temp_units: "°F" , defined in my yaml.
  The temperature, does oddly display correctly on the climate page. ** An indoor temperature sensor is not necessary. Leave the field empty if you want to use the temperature sensor of the NSPanel.

Steps to Reproduce

Use Case: use nspanel for local control of water heating/cooling system.

NSPannel running 4.3.4, with default blueprint.
ESP Home yaml below for reference.

I believe 3rd and 4th points are now fixed with v4.3.6.
I will look at the first two.

Thank You Edward!!!
I confirmed, those two issues have been resolved.
I will report issues separately next time now that I see how the dev workflow works.
