SilentMode: "Power Reduction" & Other Notes (CS6800i/WLW176i)

[MarkusMit]

Hi, I made a few observations regarding the Silent Mode ("low-noise operation", de: "Geräuscharmer Betrieb") of my Bosch heat pump CS6800i and the entities available in EMS-ESP32.

Power Reduction

It seems my heat pump has a setting for Silent Mode ("low-noise operation", de: "Geräuscharmer Betrieb") which is not yet supported by EMS-ESP32, or I was unable to find it:
I can configure the level of "power reduction" (de: "Leistungsreduktion") between 30 % and 60 % in steps of 10 %.

Silent Mode Start/End time

Before activating the silent mode and changing both, the start and end time, from their default values, the entities were not visible in the EMS-ESP32 Web UI (and also not Home Assistant ("not available")).
Could this be changed that the entities "exist" already before first change?

Furthermore, would it be possible to display the times with time formatting (hh:mm) instead of <hh> hours [<mm> minutes] in the Web UI, and also send them as time of day enties to Home Assistant (if that's possible) instead of minutes?

Minimum Temperature

On my heat pump the minimum temperature for the silent mode (will be deactivated below that) can configured from (+20 °C 14 to -30 °C E2), but it it can also be deactivated (value E1).
Would it be possible to support that "inactive" mode also somehow more explicitly in EMS-ESP32 (and Home Assistant ;-) )?

The entities are all implemented. Are you using v3.7.x?
TimeOfDay formatting in Web is difficult, needs some refactoring.
Also i don't know if it is possible in HA (i'm not using HA).
For mqtt publish i think a single number is better than a string.

[MarkusMit]

Using 3.7.0. Sorry, I thought I had mentioned it somewhere...
