We are missing a slider entity

[yoctopuce]

We have a button entity which mimics a simple push button, we also have a switch entity which mimics a toggle switch, but we are missing a slider entity which would mimic a potentiometer.

• This entity's state would be an integer or a float, possibly within a fixed range.
• To allow smooth state transitions, this entity would have a command to make the state moving automatically from current value to a new one within a specified time. This command would come in two variants: native if the controlled devices supports it, or driven by the remote.
• The state value could be mapped to the remote's touch slider.
• A matching slider widget shown on the remote's display would be a nice to have. :-)

Is this something you are currently working on? if so, Is there an ETA? I noticed I could probably use the remote entity and custom commands with parameters encoded in the commands name to send a set of scalar values to a device, but I'd rather work with a proper interface.

This is a feature request and not specific to the Python integration library. Moving to the core-api repository.
