🔥 “Heat” state shown as active even when heating is idle

[wit3]

Did you read the docs?

• I read the docs and my question is not answered there.

What happened?

The IRSAP thermostat entity in Home Assistant always displays the “Heat” state above the target temperature, even when the device is not actually heating (i.e., it has already reached the setpoint).
This is misleading — in the official IRSAP app, the device correctly shows that it is in heat mode but idle (no flame icon).

As a result, the activity history becomes inaccurate: it appears that the radiator has been “heating” for hours, while it’s simply on in heat mode but inactive.

Expected behavior:
When the device is in heat mode but not heating, the integration should expose hvac_action: idle instead of heating, or display a distinct “Heat (idle)” state.

How to reproduce

1. Set the IRSAP thermostat (e.g., bathroom towel warmer) to Heat mode with a target temperature (e.g., 28°C).
2. Wait until the current temperature reaches the target.
3. Observe that:

• Home Assistant still shows “Heat” (as if heating),
• but in the IRSAP app, the flame icon disappears — the device is idle.

Relevant log output

No relevant errors or warnings — this is a UI/state interpretation issue.
