Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
It would be nice if it were possible for the sht4x heater to be turned on/off during runtime (e.g. only turn the heater on when humidity is above say 90%) to avoid running the heater when there's no concern of condensation affecting humidity measurements.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I'm using the sensor in a weather station and I'd like to minimize wear and tear from running the heater in all conditions, and avoid potentially tainting temperature readings taken immediately after the heater runs.
**Additional context**

Research direction
Start by locating the SHT4X integration and its heater configuration or control entry points. Determine how runtime enable/disable would be exposed and verify that the heater can be controlled conditionally while preserving the requested humidity and temperature measurement behavior.
