Makers using ESPHome’s PID climate controller gain actions for changing its response close to the target temperature while the device runs. These configured actions adjust the near-target range, called the deadband, and how strongly the controller responds inside it.

New sensors report those settings so a configuration can expose the values being used. Contributor ngolf supplies the implementation and accompanying guide in their first contributions to the ESPHome code and documentation repositories, reviewed by J. Nick Koston.
