    - `holdAction` 'indefinite' | 'nextTransition' | '2hour' | '4hour' | 'askMe': The holdAction defines the default length of a manual hold that is set on the physical thermostat. An 'indefinite' hold indicates that the hold will continue until cancelled. A 'nextTransition' hold indicates that the hold will continue only until the next climate change on the thermostat schedule, eg, when the thermostat switches from 'away' to 'home'. A 2hour hold will last two hours, and 4hour will last 4 hours. When askMe is configured, the user can choose the behaviour at the time the hold is set.
