@@ -21,6 +21,8 @@ will consitute of a breaking change warranting a new major release:
 - PCDU components only allow setting `NEEDS_RECOVERY`, `HEALTHY` and `EXTERNAL_CONTROL` health
   states now. TMP sensor components only allow `HEALTHY` , `EXTERNAL_CONTROL`, `FAULTY` and
   `PERMANENT_FAULTY`.
+- TCS controller now does a sanity check on the temperature values: Values below -80 C or above
+  160 C are ignored.
