Versatile Thermostat - Use devices and entities

This draft release is a functional preview of the enhancement detailed here:

  1. Use Device and multiple entities to conform with HA philosophy - https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/54

No change on configuration is needed. New entities will be available upon restart.
The pre-release should be fully retro-compatible with 2.3.0. Attributes are kept temporary in the climate entity but in deprecated mode.

They will be remove in the 4.0.0 release.

Versatile Thermostat - Release 2.3.0 - Heater energy calculation

This release implements the following new features:

  1. Add the device power and device energy into attributes - https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/25
  2. Power of the heater should be accessible event if power management is not selected - https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/53 (thanks to @WarC0zes)

And also the following bugs:

  1. Datetime in extra attributes are in UTC - https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/51
  2. In certain case, temperature event are registred with an offset of one hour - https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/52 (thanks to @Franckb)
  3. Documentation is wrong - https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/55 (thanks to @impuR_Shozz)

No special things have to be done for installation.

Versatile Thermostat - Add presence management

Presence management is now available. You should configure a presence sensor (True is someone is present else False) on the last page off the integration.

When the presence sensor switch to Off, the thermostat automatically switch to the 'Away' preset (and corresponding temperature). The current preset is backed off to be restored when the presence sensor switch to on.

Note: the optionnal offset field should not be used because it will be removed in the next release.

Versatile Thermostat - Add Presence management

This pre-release contains the Presence management.
To activate, edit your Thermostat configuration and add a presence sensor entity id. It's state should be 'On' is someone is present at home or 'Off' else.

When presence turns to off, you have two exclusive choice:

  1. set the preset to a defined value ("Away" is certainly the most valuable choice),
  2. or add an offset to the current temperature without changing the preset. This offset can be negative of course.

Other content of this pre-release:

  1. Add presence management
  2. Fix many bugs on states actualisation
  3. Add extra attributes with all internal states (useful for tuning the Thermostats attributes)

Versatile Thermostat - Integration of the TPI algorithm

Following the discussion here https://forum.hacf.fr/t/nouveau-thermostat-type-proportionnel-avec-gestion-des-presets-portes-et-fenetres-detection-de-mouvement-et-surconsommation/:

  1. add the TPI algorithm

To use it:

  1. edit your thermostat, (Integration / select your thermostat / configure),
  2. choose the TPI function,
  3. set an external temperature sensor id (mandatory),
  4. configure the coef_c and coef_t or leave the default values (0.6 and 0.01) which seems to give good results.

This is beta release, don't hesitate to signal what seems to be wrong.
