I am making an app controlling temperature. How do I change from step 0.5 to step 0.2?

Have you tried to set the step size via the capability options. So in the .json file where you add the capability, add the following lines:

```auto

      "capabilitiesOptions": {
        "target_temperature": {
          "step": 0.2
        },

```
