core: Setting Temperature in Devolo Thermostate is unreliable with zwave_js and service-call blocks for some seconds

The problem

Before: with old zwave-integration. I call the service to set the climate target temperature, the service returns immediately, as the thermostat awakens the temperature is successfully set to the device. This took approx. 5mins.

Now: with zwave_js. I call the service to set the climate target temperature, the service blocks for about 5-10 seconds, which interrups my automations. It takes longer to set all devices, because the value is not transmitted on the first wakeup reliably.

I triggered the changes on 00:49:43 The last of 4 service calls (set temp) returned 00:50:23 Node 12 and one other have been awake twice to set the temperature. See log.

What do I like to see:

• Service call to set temp should return immediately, the plugin can do it’s work async as the old zwave integration did
• Temperature should be transmitted at first wakeup
• only the current temperature value should be transmitted to the thermostat, not all values of the queue
