[CentralOH] Most "Pythonic" way to accomplish this?

[Max]

Generally speaking, it's strongly discouraged to structure tests in this
way where you have conditional logic baked into the test.  Instead, you'd
want to setup individual tests covering scenarios.

Base State: Motor running
Test 1:
1.) Call function
2.) mock return of temperature below 'too hot'
3.) assert that the correct behavior has occurred.

Test 2:
1.) Call function
2.) mock return of temperature below 'too hot'
3.) assert that the isCoolingValveOpen function was called

Test 3:
Unit tests to cover isCoolingValveOpen does what it is supposed to do.
