 By default, the plugin creates child devices for each appliance transmitter that the EnviR console can detect.  If you want to stop this, edit the '''!ApplianceAutoDetect''' variable in the '''Advanced''' tab of the parent device.  When set to "0", the plugin will no longer look for new appliances.  Existing appliances are unaffected. 
 
+=== Separate temperature child device ===
+
+If you set the '''!ChildTemperature''' variable in the '''Advanced''' tab of the parent device to "1", the plugin will create a separate "Temperature Sensor" child device on the next reload.  The plugin will update the device's temperature from the thermometer built into the console.  The child device can be relocated to other rooms.
+
+Irrespective of whether a separate child temperature device is present, the temperature is always set on the parent device and all children.
