Add HEALTH_WARM, HEALTH_COOL and HEALTH_HOT to the health enum.
You used OVERHEAT instead of HOT in the implementation,
which makes sense to me, so please drop HOT here. Also
this needs to be documented in the ABI documentation:

Hmm.  To me OVERHEAT and HOT can mean two different things.  I will check the implementation but I would

prefer to use HOT.

If a battery or charger is HOT that may be expected to be within the heat limits of the device being monitored but that it is hot.

Overheating means the device is above the expected upper thermal limit.  Or over the heat limit.

The user may want to take action within the hot range to cool the device or may expect the device to run hot without over heating.

ACK
