Ability to define an OpenHab thing as indoor temperature source #205

Description

@sebastienvermeille

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I hate when two screens in the same room displays different temperatures.

The problem with thermometers is that if you have 5 different ones, they all will show a different temperature generally speaking... especially in IoT world.

My pellet stove provide one and a screen on it. I would like to keep this value as reference and use it as indoor temperature in the NSPanel screensaver.

Describe the solution you'd like
As an OpenHab user, I would like to be able to select an OpenHab device providing a more accurate temperature sensor of my choice rather than relying on the one provided by Sonoff NSPanel. (Same way as what exists for the outdoor temperature, we can provide an Openhab item as source)

Describe alternatives you've considered
We could alternatively define a custom MQTT topic, however I think we should follow the logic already in place which is to select an openhab item, home assistant item.

Providing a custom MQTT topic would be another feature that we could consider adding globally (also for the outdoor sensor) in the future (other PR).

Additional context
Here is how I plan to integrate this from a UX perspective:

WDYT? (I am willing to work on this feature if you agree)
