Smart heating, google integration, and multiple temperaure values

Evening
I have a Drayton Wiser heating system working well with Domotics, thanks to this:

https://github.com/bloob00k/domoticz

Each room therefore gives me two devices - a temperature sensor with an actual reading, and a thermostat with a setpoint.
(the thermostat does have an "Actual" and a "Setpoint" displayed, but they are always the same)

I have been using https://www.controlicz.com/ to integrate with google home, again with success - but one query:

If I ask "What is the temperature in room X" I get two responses - "the temperature in the X room is Y degrees Z degrees"

This seems to be due to pulling the response data from the two temperature related things in room X - the thermostat set point and the temperature sensor

Is there any way to only return the actual temperature? I could of course remove the thermostat from the room...but then I wouldn't be able to set the setpoint either!

Better ask in the cotrolicz topic

Thanks - I wasn't sure if this was a controlicz or a domoticz issue, since I wasn't sure where the logic sat

However, I did have a reply from the Controlicz developer:

"
currently there are no temp sensors in Google, so in order to query a sensor, it has to be treated as a thermostat (which is your setpoint).

Thermostats in Google are also queryable – and as they’re in the same room, you’re getting the setpoint + the temperature.

So it’s a workaround ‘feature’ – sensors have been ‘imminent’ with Google for over 2 years now, but allegedly they are going to be released soon, and so these issues will hopefully drop away
