Issue 585 add auto start/stop feature (#594)
* Migrate to HA 2024.10.4 * Auto start/stop alog and testu + ConfigFlow * With config flow ok * Change algo * All is fine * Add change_preset test * + comment * FIX too much start/stop * Change algo to take slop into account * Allow calculation even if slope is None * With enable + tests + hysteresis in calculation * Add hvac_off_reason and test with window interaction * Fix some tests * Restore saved_state * Release --------- Co-authored-by: Jean-Marc Collin <jean-marc.collin-extern@renault.com>

If your equipment does not include Turbo mode, Forte` mode will be used as a replacement.
|

Once the temperature difference becomes low again, the ventilation will go into a "normal" mode which depends on your equipment, namely (in order): `Silence (mute)`, `Auto (auto)`, `Low (low)`. The first value that is possible for your equipment will be chosen.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Automatic start/stop
|
||||
This function was introduced in 6.5.0. It allows VTherm to stop equipment that does not need to be turned on and to restart it when conditions require it. This function has 3 settings that allow the equipment to be stopped/restarted more or less quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
To use it, you must:
|
||||
1. Add the `Use the auto start and stop feature` function in the 'Features' menu,
|
||||
2. Set the detection level in the `Auto start and stop` option that is displayed when the function has been activated. You choose the detection level between 'Slow', 'Medium' and 'Fast'. The 'Fast' level will result in more shutdowns/restarts.
|
||||
|
||||
Once configured, you will now have a new entity of type `switch` that allows you to authorize or not the automatic shutdown/restart without touching the configuration. This entity is available on the VTherm device and is called `switch.<name>_enable_auto_start_stop`. Check it to authorize the automatic startup and shutdown.
|
||||
|
||||
The detection algorithm is described [here](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/585).

You can choose up to domain entity ```number``` or ```ìnput_number``` which will control the valves.
