+# Quoi de neuf ?
+![Nouveau](images/new-icon.png)
+> * **Release 6.8**:
+>
+> Ajout d'une nouvelle méthode de régulation pour les Versatile Thermostat de type `over_climate`. Cette méthode nommée 'Contrôle direct de la vanne' permet de contrôler directement la vanne d'un TRV et éventuellement un décalage pour calibrer le thermomètre interne de votre TRV. Cette nouvelle méthode a été testée avec des Sonoff TRVZB et généralisée pour d'autre type de TRV pour lesquels la vanne est directement commandable via des entités de type `number`.
+>
+> Plus d'informations [ici](documentation/fr/over-climate.md) et [ici](documentation/fr/self-regulation.md).
+>
+> * **Refonte de la documentation**:
+>
+> Avec toutes les évolutions réalisées depuis le début de l'intégration, la documentation nécessitait une profonde re-organisation, c'est chose faite sur cette version. Tous vos retours sur cette nouvelle organisation seront les bienvenus.

+# 🍻 Merci pour les bières [buymecoffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jmcollin78) 🍻
+Un grand merci à tous mes fournisseurs de bières pour leurs dons et leurs encouragments. Ca me fait très plaisir et ça m'encourage à continuer ! Si cette intégration vous a fait économiser, payez moi une p'tite bière en retour, j'en vous en serais très reconnaissant !
+
+# Glossaire
+
+  _VTherm_ : Versatile Thermostat dans la suite de ce document
+
+  _TRV_ : tête thermostatique équipée d'une vanne. La vanne s'ouvre ou se ferme permettant le passage de l'eau chaude
+
+  _AC_ : Air conditionné. Un équipement est AC si il fait du froid. Les températures sont alors inversées : Eco est plus chaud que Confort qui est plus chaud que Boost. Les algorithmes tiennent compte de cette information.

-> ![Nouveau](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/new-icon.png?raw=true) _*Nouveautés*_
-> * **Release 3.7**: Ajout du type de Versatile Thermostat `over valve` pour piloter une vanne TRV directement ou tout autre équipement type gradateur pour le chauffage. La régulation se fait alors directement en agissant sur le pourcentage d'ouverture de l'entité sous-jacente : 0 la vanne est coupée, 100 : la vanne est ouverte à fond. Cf. [#131](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/131). Ajout d'une fonction permettant le bypass de la détection d'ouverture [#138](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/138). Ajout de la langue Slovaque
-> * **Release 3.6**: Ajout du paramètre `motion_off_delay` pour améliorer la gestion de des mouvements [#116](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/116), [#128](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/128). Ajout du mode AC (air conditionné) pour un VTherm over switch. Préparation du projet Github pour faciliter les contributions [#127](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/127)
-> * **Release 3.5**: Plusieurs thermostats sont possibles en "thermostat over climate" mode [#113](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/113)
-> * **Release 3.4**: bug fix et exposition des preset temperatures pour le mode AC [#103](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/103)
-> * **Release 3.3**: ajout du mode Air Conditionné (AC). Cette fonction vous permet d'utiliser le mode AC de votre thermostat sous-jacent. Pour l'utiliser, vous devez cocher l'option "Uitliser le mode AC" et définir les valeurs de température pour les presets et pour les presets en cas d'absence
-> * **Release 3.2** : ajout de la possibilité de commander plusieurs switch à partir du même thermostat. Dans ce mode, les switchs sont déclenchés avec un délai pour minimiser la puissance nécessaire à un instant (on minimise les périodes de recouvrement). Voir [Configuration](#sélectionnez-des-entités-pilotées)
-<details>
-<summary>Autres versions</summary>
-
-> * **Release 3.1** : ajout d'une détection de fenêtres/portes ouvertes par chute de température. Cette nouvelle fonction permet de stopper automatiquement un radiateur lorsque la température chute brutalement. Voir [Le mode auto](#le-mode-auto)
-> * **Release majeure 3.0** : ajout d'un équipement thermostat et de capteurs (binaires et non binaires) associés. Beaucoup plus proche de la philosphie Home Assistant, vous avez maintenant un accès direct à l'énergie consommée par le radiateur piloté par le thermostat et à plein d'autres capteurs qui seront utiles dans vos automatisations et dashboard.
-> * **release 2.3** : ajout de la mesure de puissance et d'énergie du radiateur piloté par le thermostat.

-# Merci pour la bière [buymecoffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jmcollin78)
-Un grand merci à @salabur, @pvince83, @bergoglio, @EPicLURcher, @ecolorado66, @Kriss1670, @maia, @f.maymil, @moutte69, @Jerome pour les bières. Ca fait très plaisir.
-
-
-# Quand l'utiliser et ne pas l'utiliser
-Ce thermostat peut piloter 3 types d'équipement:
-1. un radiateur qui ne fonctionne qu'en mode marche/arrêt (nommé ```thermostat_over_switch```). La configuration minimale nécessaire pour utiliser ce type thermostat est :
-   1. un équipement comme un radiateur (un ```switch``` ou équivalent),
-   2. une sonde de température pour la pièce (ou un input_number),
-   3. un capteur de température externe (pensez à l'intégration météo si vous n'en avez pas)
-2. un autre thermostat qui a ses propres modes de fonctionnement (nommé ```thermostat_over_climate```). Pour ce type de thermostat la configuration minimale nécessite :
-   1. un équipement - comme une climatisation, une valve thermostatique - qui est pilotée par sa propre entity de type ```climate```,
-3. un équipement qui peut prendre une valeur de 0 à 100% (nommée ```thermostat_over_valve```). A 0 le chauffage est coupé, 100% il est ouvert à fond. Ce type permet de piloter une valve thermostatique (cf. valve Shelly) qui expose une entité de type `number.` permetttant de piloter directement l'ouverture de la vanne. Versatile Thermostat régule la température de la pièce en jouant sur le pourcentage d'ouverture, à l'aide des capteurs de température intérieur et extérieur en utilisant l'algorithme TPI décrit ci-dessous.
-
-The ```thermostat_over_climate``` type allows you to add to your existing equipment all the functionalities provided by VersatileThermostat. The VersatileThermostat climate entity will control your climate entity, turning it off if the windows are open, switching it to Eco mode if no one is present, etc. See [here](#why-a-new-thermostat-implementation). For this type of thermostat, any heating cycles are controlled by the underlying climate entity and not by the Versatile Thermostat itself.
-
-## Incompatibilités
-Certains thermostat de type TRV sont réputés incompatibles avec le Versatile Thermostat. C'est le cas des vannes suivantes :
-1. les vannes POPP de Danfoss avec retour de température. Il est impossible d'éteindre cette vanne et elle s'auto-régule d'elle-même causant des conflits avec le VTherm,
-2. les vannes thermstatiques "Homematic radio". Elles ont un cycle de service incompatible avec une commande par le Versatile Thermostat
-
-# Pourquoi une nouvelle implémentation du thermostat ?
-
-Ce composant nommé __Versatile thermostat__ gère les cas d'utilisation suivants :
-- Configuration via l'interface graphique d'intégration standard (à l'aide du flux Config Entry),
-- Utilisations complètes du **mode préréglages**,
-- Désactiver le mode préréglé lorsque la température est **définie manuellement** sur un thermostat,
-- Éteindre/allumer un thermostat lorsqu'une **porte ou des fenêtres sont ouvertes/fermées** après un certain délai,
-- Changer de preset lorsqu'une **activité est détectée** ou non dans une pièce pendant un temps défini,
-- Utiliser un algorithme **TPI (Time Proportional Interval)** grâce à l'algorithme [[Argonaute](https://forum.hacf.fr/u/argonaute/summary)] ,
-- Ajouter une **gestion de délestage** ou une régulation pour ne pas dépasser une puissance totale définie. Lorsque la puissance maximale est dépassée, un préréglage caché de « puissance » est défini sur l'entité climatique. Lorsque la puissance passe en dessous du maximum, le préréglage précédent est restauré.
-- La **gestion de la présence à domicile**. Cette fonctionnalité vous permet de modifier dynamiquement la température du préréglage en tenant compte d'un capteur de présence de votre maison.
-- Des **services pour interagir avec le thermostat** à partir d'autres intégrations : vous pouvez forcer la présence / la non-présence à l'aide d'un service, et vous pouvez modifier dynamiquement la température des préréglages et changer les paramètres de sécurité.
-- Ajouter des capteurs pour voir les états internes du thermostat.

-# Comment installer cet incroyable Thermostat Versatile ?
-
-## HACS installation (recommendé)
-
-1. Installez [HACS](https://hacs.xyz/). De cette façon, vous obtenez automatiquement les mises à jour.
-2. L'intégration Versatile Thermostat est maintenant proposée directement depuis l'interface HACF (onglet intégrations),
-3. recherchez et installez "Versatile Thermostat" dans HACS et cliquez sur "installer".
-4. Redémarrez Home Assistant.
-5. Ensuite, vous pouvez ajouter une intégration de Versatile Thermostat dans la page Paramètres / Intégrations. Vous ajoutez autant de thermostats dont vous avez besoin (généralement un par radiateur ou par groupe de radiateurs qui doivent être gérés ou par pompe dans le cas d'un chauffage centralisé)
-
-
-## Installation manuelle
-
-1. À l'aide de l'outil de votre choix, ouvrez le répertoire (dossier) de votre configuration HA (où vous trouverez `configuration.yaml`).
-2. Si vous n'avez pas de répertoire (dossier) `custom_components`, vous devez le créer.
-3. Dans le répertoire (dossier) `custom_components`, créez un nouveau dossier appelé `versatile_thermostat`.
-4. Téléchargez _tous_ les fichiers du répertoire `custom_components/versatile_thermostat/` (dossier) dans ce référentiel.
-5. Placez les fichiers que vous avez téléchargés dans le nouveau répertoire (dossier) que vous avez créé.
-6. Redémarrez l'assistant domestique
-7. Configurer la nouvelle intégration du Versatile Thermostat
-
-# Configuration
-
-Note: aucune configuration dans configuration.yaml n'est nécessaire car toute la configuration est effectuée via l'interface graphique standard lors de l'ajout de l'intégration.
-
-Cliquez sur le bouton Ajouter une intégration dans la page d'intégration
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/add-an-integration.png?raw=true)
-
-La configuration peut être modifiée via la même interface. Sélectionnez simplement le thermostat à modifier, appuyez sur "Configurer" et vous pourrez modifier certains paramètres ou la configuration.
-
-Suivez ensuite les étapes de configuration comme suit :
-
-## Choix des attributs de base
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-main.png?raw=true)
-
-Donnez les principaux attributs obligatoires :
-1. un nom (sera le nom de l'intégration et aussi le nom de l'entité climate)
-2. le type de thermostat ```thermostat_over_switch``` pour piloter un radiateur commandé par un switch ou ```thermostat_over_climate``` pour piloter un autre thermostat, ou ```thermostat_over_valve``` Cf. [ci-dessus](#pourquoi-une-nouvelle-implémentation-du-thermostat)
-4. un identifiant d'entité de capteur de température qui donne la température de la pièce dans laquelle le radiateur est installé,
-5. une entité capteur de température donnant la température extérieure. Si vous n'avez pas de capteur externe, vous pouvez utiliser l'intégration météo locale
-6. une durée de cycle en minutes. A chaque cycle, le radiateur s'allumera puis s'éteindra pendant une durée calculée afin d'atteindre la température ciblée (voir [preset](#configure-the-preset-temperature) ci-dessous). En mode ```over_climate```, le cycle ne sert qu'à faire des controles de base mais ne régule pas directement la température. C'est le ```climate``` sous-jacent qui le fait,
-7. les températures minimales et maximales du thermostat,
-8. une puissance de l'équipement ce qui va activer les capteurs de puissance et énergie consommée par l'appareil,
-9. la liste des fonctionnalités qui seront utilisées pour ce thermostat. En fonction de vos choix, les écrans de configuration suivants s'afficheront ou pas.
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
->  1. avec les types ```over_switch``` et ```over_valve```, les calculs sont effectués à chaque cycle. Donc en cas de changement de conditions, il faudra attendre le prochain cycle pour voir un changement. Pour cette raison, le cycle ne doit pas être trop long. **5 min est une bonne valeur**,
->  2. si le cycle est trop court, le radiateur ne pourra jamais atteindre la température cible. Pour le radiateur à accumulation par exemple il sera sollicité inutilement.
-
-## Sélectionnez des entités pilotées
-En fonction de votre choix sur le type de thermostat, vous devrez choisir une ou plusieurs entités de type `switch`, `climate` ou `number`. Seules les entités compatibles avec le type sont présentées.
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Comment choisir le type*_
-> Le choix du type est important. Même si il toujours possible de le modifier ensuite via l'IHM de configuration, il est préférable de se poser les quelques questions suivantes :
-> 1. **quel type d'équipement je vais piloter ?** Dans l'ordre voici ce qu'il faut faire :
->    1. si vous avez une vanne thermostatique (TRV) commandable dans Home Assistant via une entité de type ```number``` (par exemple une _Shelly TRV_), choisissez le type `over_valve`. C'est le type le plus direct et qui assure la meilleure régulation,
->    2. si vous avez un radiateur électrique (avec ou sans fil pilote) et qu'une entité de type ```switch``` permet de l'allumer ou de l'éteindre, alors le type ```over_switch``` est préférable. La régulation sera faite par le Versatile Thermostat en fonction de la température mesuré par votre thermomètre, à l'endroit ou vous l'avez placé,
->    3. dans tous les autres cas, utilisez le mode ```over_climate```. Vous gardez votre entité ```climate``` d'origine et le Versatile Thermostat "ne fait que" piloter le on/off et la température cible de votre thermostat d'origine. La régulation est faite par votre thermostat d'origine dans ce cas. Ce mode est particulièrement adapté aux climatisations réversible tout-en-un dont l'exposition dans Home Assistant se limite à une entité de type ```climate```
-> 2. **quelle type de régulation je veux ?** Si l'équipement piloté possède son propre mécanisme de régulation (clim, certaine vanne TRV) et que cette régulation fonctionne bien, optez pour un ```over_climate```
-
-### Pour un thermostat de type ```thermostat_over_switch```
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-linked-entity.png?raw=true)
-L'algorithme à utiliser est aujourd'hui limité à TPI est disponible. Voir [algorithme](#algorithme).
-Si plusieurs entités de type sont configurées, la thermostat décale les activations afin de minimiser le nombre de switch actif à un instant t. Ca permet une meilleure répartition de la puissance puisque chaque radiateur va s'allumer à son tour.
-Exemple de déclenchement synchronisé :
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/multi-switch-activation.png?raw=true)
-
-Il est possible de choisir un thermostat over switch qui commande une climatisation en cochant la case "AC Mode". Dans ce cas, seul le mode refroidissement sera visible.
-
-
-### Pour un thermostat de type ```thermostat_over_climate```:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-linked-entity2.png?raw=true)
-
-Il est possible de choisir un thermostat over climate qui commande une climatisation réversible en cochant la case "AC Mode". Dans ce cas, selon l'équipement commandé vous aurez accès au chauffage et/ou au réfroidissement.
-
-### Pour un thermostat de type ```thermostat_over_valve```:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-linked-entity3.png?raw=true)
-Vous pouvez choisir jusqu'à entité du domaine ```number``` ou ```ìnput_number``` qui vont commander les vannes.
-L'algorithme à utiliser est aujourd'hui limité à TPI est disponible. Voir [algorithme](#algorithme).
-
-Il est possible de choisir un thermostat over valve qui commande une climatisation en cochant la case "AC Mode". Dans ce cas, seul le mode refroidissement sera visible.
-
-## Configurez les coefficients de l'algorithme TPI
-
-Si vous avez choisi un thermostat de type ```over_switch``` ou  ```over_valve``` vous arriverez sur cette page :
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-tpi.png?raw=true)
-
-Vous devez donner :
-1. le coefficient coef_int de l'algorithme TPI,
-2. le coefficient coef_ext de l'algorithme TPI
-
-
-Pour plus d'informations sur l'algorithme TPI et son réglage, veuillez vous référer à [algorithm](#algorithm).
-
-## Configurer la température préréglée
-Cliquez sur 'Valider' sur la page précédente et vous y arriverez :
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-presets.png?raw=true)
-
-Le mode préréglé (preset) vous permet de préconfigurer la température ciblée. Utilisé en conjonction avec Scheduler (voir [scheduler](#even-better-with-scheduler-component) vous aurez un moyen puissant et simple d'optimiser la température par rapport à la consommation électrique de votre maison. Les préréglages gérés sont les suivants :
- - **Eco** : l'appareil est en mode d'économie d'énergie
- - **Confort** : l'appareil est en mode confort
- - **Boost** : l'appareil tourne toutes les vannes à fond
-
- Si le mode AC est utilisé, vous pourrez aussi configurer les températures lorsque l'équipement en mode climatisation.
-
-**Aucun** est toujours ajouté dans la liste des modes, car c'est un moyen de ne pas utiliser les preset mais une **température manuelle** à la place.
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
->  1. En modifiant manuellement la température cible, réglez le préréglage sur Aucun (pas de préréglage). De cette façon, vous pouvez toujours définir une température cible même si aucun préréglage n'est disponible.
->  2. Le préréglage standard ``Away`` est un préréglage caché qui n'est pas directement sélectionnable. Versatile Thermostat utilise la gestion de présence ou la gestion de mouvement pour régler automatiquement et dynamiquement la température cible en fonction d'une présence dans le logement ou d'une activité dans la pièce. Voir [gestion de la présence](#configure-the-presence-management).
->  3. Si vous utilisez la gestion du délestage, vous verrez un préréglage caché nommé ``power``. Le préréglage de l'élément chauffant est réglé sur « puissance » lorsque des conditions de surpuissance sont rencontrées et que le délestage est actif pour cet élément chauffant. Voir [gestion de l'alimentation](#configure-the-power-management).
->  4. si vous utilisez la configuration avancée, vous verrez le préréglage défini sur ``sécurité`` si la température n'a pas pu être récupérée après un certain délai
->  5. Si vous ne souhaitez pas utiliser le préréglage, indiquez 0 comme température. Le préréglage sera alors ignoré et ne s'affichera pas dans le composant front
-
-## Configurer les portes/fenêtres en allumant/éteignant les thermostats
-Vous devez avoir choisi la fonctionnalité ```Avec détection des ouvertures``` dans la première page pour arriver sur cette page.
-La détecttion des ouvertures peut se faire de 2 manières:
-1. soit avec un capteur placé sur l'ouverture (mode capteur),
-2. soit en détectant une chute brutale de température (mode auto)
-
-### Le mode capteur
-En mode capteur, vous devez renseigner les informations suivantes:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-window-sensor.png?raw=true)
-
-1. un identifiant d'entité d'un **capteur de fenêtre/porte**. Cela devrait être un binary_sensor ou un input_boolean. L'état de l'entité doit être 'on' lorsque la fenêtre est ouverte ou 'off' lorsqu'elle est fermée
-2. un **délai en secondes** avant tout changement. Cela permet d'ouvrir rapidement une fenêtre sans arrêter le chauffage.
-
-
-### Le mode auto
-En mode auto, la configuration est la suivante:

-
-1. un seuil de détection en degré par minute. Lorsque la température chute au delà de ce seuil, le thermostat s'éteindra. Plus cette valeur est faible et plus la détection sera rapide (en contre-partie d'un risque de faux positif),
-2. un seuil de fin de détection en degré par minute. Lorsque la chute de température repassera au-dessus cette valeur, le thermostat se remettra dans le mode précédent (mode et preset),
-3. une durée maximale de détection. Au delà de cette durée, le thermostat se remettra dans son mode et preset précédent même si la température continue de chuter.
-
-Pour régler les seuils il est conseillé de commencer avec les valeurs de référence et d'ajuster les seuils de détection. Quelques essais m'ont donné les valeurs suivantes (pour un bureau):
-- seuil de détection : 0,05 °C/min
-- seuil de non détection: 0 °C/min
-- durée max : 60 min.
-
-Un nouveau capteur "slope" a été ajouté pour tous les thermostats. Il donne la pente de la courbe de température en °C/min (ou °K/min). Cette pente est lissée et filtrée pour éviter les valeurs abérrantes des thermomètres qui viendraient pertuber la mesure.
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/temperature-slope.png?raw=true)
-
-Pour bien régler il est conseillé d'affocher sur un même graphique historique la courbe de température et la pente de la courbe (le "slope") :

-
-Et c'est tout ! votre thermostat s'éteindra lorsque les fenêtres seront ouvertes et se rallumera lorsqu'il sera fermé.
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
->  1. Si vous souhaitez utiliser **plusieurs capteurs de porte/fenêtre** pour automatiser votre thermostat, créez simplement un groupe avec le comportement habituel (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor.group/)
->  2. Si vous n'avez pas de capteur de fenêtre/porte dans votre chambre, laissez simplement l'identifiant de l'entité du capteur vide,
->  3. **Un seul mode est permis**. On ne peut pas configurer un thermostat avec un capteur et une détection automatique. Les 2 modes risquant de se contredire, il n'est pas possible d'avoir les 2 modes en même temps,
->  4. Il est déconseillé d'utiliser le mode automatique pour un équipement soumis à des variations de température fréquentes et normales (couloirs, zones ouvertes, ...)

-## Configurer le mode d'activité ou la détection de mouvement
-Si vous avez choisi la fonctionnalité ```Avec détection de mouvement```, cliquez sur 'Valider' sur la page précédente et vous y arriverez :
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-motion.png?raw=true)
-
-Nous allons maintenant voir comment configurer le nouveau mode Activité.
-Ce dont nous avons besoin:
-- un **capteur de mouvement**. ID d'entité d'un capteur de mouvement. Les états du capteur de mouvement doivent être « on » (mouvement détecté) ou « off » (aucun mouvement détecté)
-- une durée de **délai de mouvement** (en secondes) définissant combien de temps nous attendons la confirmation du mouvement avant de considérer le mouvement. Ce paramètre peut être supérieur à la temporision de votre détecteur de mouvement, sinon la détection se fera à chaque mouvement signalé par le détecteur,
-- une durée de fin **délai de mouvement** (en secondes) définissant combien de temps nous attendons la confirmation d'une fin de mouvement avant de ne plus considérer le mouvement.
-- un **préréglage de "mouvement" **. Nous utiliserons la température de ce préréglage lorsqu'une activité sera détectée.
-- un **préréglage "pas de mouvement"**. Nous utiliserons la température de ce deuxième préréglage lorsqu'aucune activité n'est détectée.
-
-Alors imaginons que nous voulions avoir le comportement suivant :
-- nous avons une pièce avec un thermostat réglé en mode activité, le mode "mouvement" choisi est confort (21,5°C), le mode "pas de mouvement" choisi est Eco (18.5°C) et la temporisation du mouvement est de 30 sec lors de la détection et de 5 minutes sur fin de détection.
-- la pièce est vide depuis un moment (aucune activité détectée), la température de cette pièce est de 18,5°
-- quelqu'un entre dans la pièce, une activité est détectée si le mouvement est présent pendant au moins 30 sec. La température passe alors à 21,5°
-- si le mouvement est présent pendant moins de 30 sec (passage rapide), la température reste sur 18,5°,
-- imaginons que la température soit passée sur 21,5°, lorsque la personne quitte la pièce, au bout de 5 min la température est ramenée à 18,5°.
-- si la personne revient avant les 5 minutes, la température reste sur 21,5°
-
-Pour que cela fonctionne, le thermostat doit être en mode préréglé « Activité ».
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-    1. Sachez que comme pour les autres modes prédéfinis, ``Activity`` ne sera proposé que s'il est correctement configuré. En d'autres termes, les 4 clés de configuration doivent être définies si vous souhaitez voir l'activité dans l'interface de l'assistant domestique
-
-## Configurer la gestion de la puissance
-
-Si vous avez choisi la fonctionnalité ```Avec détection de la puissance```, cliquez sur 'Valider' sur la page précédente et vous arriverez ici :
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-power.png?raw=true)
-
-Cette fonction vous permet de réguler la consommation électrique de vos radiateurs. Connue sous le nom de délestage, cette fonction vous permet de limiter la consommation électrique de votre appareil de chauffage si des conditions de surpuissance sont détectées. Donnez un **capteur à la consommation électrique actuelle de votre maison**, un **capteur à la puissance max** qu'il ne faut pas dépasser, la **consommation électrique de votre chauffage** (en étape 1 de la configuration) et l'algorithme ne démarrera pas un radiateur si la puissance maximale sera dépassée après le démarrage du radiateur.
-
-Notez que toutes les valeurs de puissance doivent avoir les mêmes unités (kW ou W par exemple).
-Cela vous permet de modifier la puissance maximale au fil du temps à l'aide d'un planificateur ou de ce que vous voulez.
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-> 1. En cas de délestage, le radiateur est réglé sur le préréglage nommé ```power```. Il s'agit d'un préréglage caché, vous ne pouvez pas le sélectionner manuellement.
-> 2. Je l'utilise pour éviter de dépasser la limite de mon contrat d'électricité lorsqu'un véhicule électrique est en charge. Cela crée une sorte d'autorégulation.
-> 3. Gardez toujours une marge, car la puissance max peut être brièvement dépassée en attendant le calcul du prochain cycle typiquement ou par des équipements non régulés.
-> 4. Si vous ne souhaitez pas utiliser cette fonctionnalité, laissez simplement l'identifiant des entités vide
-
-## Configurer la présence ou l'occupation
-Si sélectionnée en première page, cette fonction vous permet de modifier dynamiquement la température de tous les préréglages du thermostat configurés lorsque personne n'est à la maison ou lorsque quelqu'un rentre à la maison. Pour cela, vous devez configurer la température qui sera utilisée pour chaque préréglage lorsque la présence est désactivée. Lorsque le capteur de présence s'éteint, ces températures seront utilisées. Lorsqu'il se rallume, la température "normale" configurée pour le préréglage est utilisée. Voir [gestion des préréglages](#configure-the-preset-temperature).
-Pour configurer la présence remplissez ce formulaire :
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-presence.png?raw=true)
-
-Pour cela, vous devez configurer :
-1. Un **capteur d'occupation** dont l'état doit être 'on' ou 'home' si quelqu'un est présent ou 'off' ou 'not_home' sinon,
-2. La **température utilisée en Eco** prédéfinie en cas d'absence,
-3. La **température utilisée en Confort** préréglée en cas d'absence,
-4. La **température utilisée en Boost** préréglée en cas d'absence
-
-Si le mode AC est utilisé, vous pourrez aussi configurer les températures lorsque l'équipement en mode climatisation.
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-> 1. le changement de température est immédiat et se répercute sur le volet avant. Le calcul prendra en compte la nouvelle température cible au prochain calcul du cycle,
-> 2. vous pouvez utiliser le capteur direct person.xxxx ou un groupe de capteurs de Home Assistant. Le capteur de présence gère les états ``on`` ou ``home`` comme présents et les états ``off`` ou ``not_home`` comme absents.
-
-## Configuration avancée
-Ces paramètres permettent d'affiner le réglage du thermostat.
-Le formulaire de configuration avancée est le suivant :
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-advanced.png?raw=true)
-
-Le premier délai (minimal_activation_delay_sec) en secondes est le délai minimum acceptable pour allumer le chauffage. Lorsque le calcul donne un délai de mise sous tension inférieur à cette valeur, le chauffage reste éteint.
-
-Le deuxième délai (``security_delay_min``) est le délai maximal entre deux mesures de température avant de régler le préréglage sur ``security``. Si le capteur de température ne donne plus de mesures de température, le thermostat et le radiateur passeront en mode ``security`` après ce délai. Ceci est utile pour éviter une surchauffe si la batterie de votre capteur de température est trop faible.
-
-Le troisième paramétre (``security_min_on_percent``) est la valeur minimal de ``on_percent`` en dessous de laquelle le préréglage sécurité ne sera pas activé. Ce paramètre permet de ne pas mettre en sécurité un thermostat, si le radiateur piloté ne chauffe pas suffisament.
-Mettre ce paramètre à ``0.00`` déclenchera le préréglage sécurité quelque soit la dernière consigne de chauffage, à l'inverse ``1.00`` ne déclenchera jamais le préréglage sécurité ( ce qui revient à désactiver la fonction).
-
-Le quatrième param§tre (``security_default_on_percent``) est la valeur de ``on_percent`` qui sera utilisée lorsque le thermostat passe en mode ``security``. Si vous mettez ``0`` alors le thermostat sera coupé lorsqu'il passe en mode ``security``, mettre 0,2% par exemple permet de garder un peu de chauffage (20% dans ce cas), même en mode ``security``. Ca évite de retrouver son logement totalement gelé lors d'une panne de thermomètre.
-
-Voir [exemple de réglages](#examples-tuning) pour avoir des exemples de réglage communs
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-> 1. Lorsque le capteur de température viendra à la vie et renverra les températures, le préréglage sera restauré à sa valeur précédente,
-> 2. Attention, deux températures sont nécessaires : la température interne et la température externe et chacune doit donner la température, sinon le thermostat sera en préréglage "security",
-> 3. Un service est disponible qui permet de régler les 3 paramètres de sécurité. Ca peut servir à adapter la fonction de sécurité à votre usage,
-> 4. Pour un usage naturel, le ``security_default_on_percent`` doit être inférieur à ``security_min_on_percent``,
-> 5. Lorsqu'un thermostat de type ``thermostat_over_climate`` passe en mode ``security`` il est éteint. Les paramètres ``security_min_on_percent`` et ``security_default_on_percent`` ne sont alors pas utilisés.

-# Exemples de réglage
-
-## Chauffage électrique
-- cycle : entre 5 et 10 minutes,
-- minimal_activation_delay_sec : 30 secondes
-
-## Chauffage central (chauffage gaz ou fuel)
-- cycle : entre 30 et 60 min,
-- minimal_activation_delay_sec : 300 secondes (à cause du temps de réponse)
-
-## Le capteur de température alimenté par batterie
-- security_delay_min : 60 min (parce que ces capteurs sont paresseux)
-- security_min_on_percent : 0,5 (50% - on passe en preset ``security`` si le radiateur chauffait plus de 50% du temps)
-- security_default_on_percent : 0,1 (10% - en preset ``security``, on garde un fond de chauffe de 20% du temps)
-
-Il faut comprendre ces réglages comme suit :
-
-> Si le thermomètre n'envoie plus la température pendant 1 heure et que le pourcentage de chauffe (``on_percent``) était supérieur à 50 %, alors on ramène ce pourcentage de chauffe à 10 %.
-
-A vous d'adapter ces réglages à votre cas !
-
-Ce qui est important c'est de ne pas prendre trop de risque avec ces paramètres : supposez que vous êtes absent pour une longue période, que les piles de votre thermomètre arrivent en fin de vie, votre radiateur va chauffer 10% du temps pendant toute la durée de la panne.
-
-Versatile Thermostat vous permet d'être notifié lorsqu'un évènement de ce type survient. Mettez en place, les alertes qui vont bien dès l'utilisation de ce thermostat. Cf. (#notifications)
-
-## Capteur de température réactif (sur secteur)
-- security_delay_min : 15 min
-- security_min_on_percent : 0,7 (70% - on passe en preset ``security`` si le radiateur chauffait plus de 70% du temps)
-- security_default_on_percent : 0,25 (25% - en preset ``security``, on garde un fond de chauffe de 25% du temps)
-
-## Mes presets
-Ceci est juste un exemple de la façon dont j'utilise le préréglage. A vous de vous adapter à votre configuration mais cela peut être utile pour comprendre son fonctionnement.
-``Éco`` : 17 °C
-``Confort`` : 19 °C
-``Boost`` : 20 °C
-
-Lorsque la présence est désactivée :
-``Éco`` : 16,5 °C
-``Confort`` : 17 °C
-``Boost`` : 18 °C
-
-Le détecteur de mouvement de mon bureau est configuré pour utiliser ``Boost`` lorsqu'un mouvement est détecté et ``Eco`` sinon.
-
-# Algorithme
-Cette intégration utilise un algorithme proportionnel. Un algorithme proportionnel est utile pour éviter l'oscillation autour de la température cible. Cet algorithme est basé sur un cycle qui alterne le chauffage et l'arrêt du chauffage. La proportion de chauffage par rapport à l'absence de chauffage est déterminée par la différence entre la température et la température cible. Plus grande est la différence et plus grande est la proportion de chauffage à l'intérieur du cycle.
-
-Cet algorithme fait converger la température et arrête d'osciller.
-
-## Algorithme TPI
-L'algorithme TPI consiste à calculer à chaque cycle un pourcentage d'état On vs Off pour le radiateur en utilisant la température cible, la température actuelle dans la pièce et la température extérieure actuelle. Cet algorithme n'est donc valable que pour les Versatile Thermostat qui régulent : `over_switch` et `over_valve`.
-
-Le pourcentage est calculé avec cette formule :
-
-    on_percent = coef_int * (température cible - température actuelle) + coef_ext * (température cible - température extérieure)
-    Ensuite, l'algo fait en sorte que 0 <= on_percent <= 1
-
-Les valeurs par défaut pour coef_int et coef_ext sont respectivement : ``0.6`` et ``0.01``. Ces valeurs par défaut conviennent à une pièce standard bien isolée.
-
-Pour régler ces coefficients, gardez à l'esprit que :
-1. **si la température cible n'est pas atteinte** après une situation stable, vous devez augmenter le ``coef_ext`` (le ``on_percent`` est trop bas),
-2. **si la température cible est dépassée** après une situation stable, vous devez diminuer le ``coef_ext`` (le ``on_percent`` est trop haut),
-3. **si l'atteinte de la température cible est trop lente**, vous pouvez augmenter le ``coef_int`` pour donner plus de puissance au réchauffeur,
-4. **si l'atteinte de la température cible est trop rapide et que des oscillations apparaissent** autour de la cible, vous pouvez diminuer le ``coef_int`` pour donner moins de puissance au radiateur.
-
-En type `over_valve` le `on_percent` est ramené à une valeur entre 0 et 100% et sert directement à commander l'ouverture de la vanne.
-
-Voir quelques situations à [examples](#some-results).
-
-# Capteurs
-
-Avec le thermostat sont disponibles des capteurs qui permettent de visualiser les alertes et l'état interne du thermostat. Ils sont disponibles dans les entités de l'appareil associé au thermostat :
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/thermostat-sensors.png?raw=true)
-
-Dans l'ordre, il y a :
-1. l'entité principale climate de commande du thermostat,
-2. l'énergie consommée par le thermostat (valeur qui s'incrémente en permanence),
-3. l'heure de réception de la dernière température extérieure,
-4. l'heure de réception de la dernière température intérieure,
-5. la puissance moyenne de l'appareil sur le cycle (pour les TPI seulement),
-6. le temps passé à l'état éteint dans le cycle (TPI seulement),
-7. le temps passé à l'état allumé dans le cycle (TPI seulement),
-8. l'état de délestage,
-9. le pourcentage de puissance sur le cycle (TPI seulement),
-10. l'état de présence (si la gestion de la présence est configurée),
-11. l'état de sécurité,
-12. l'état de l'ouverture (si la gestion des ouvertures est configurée),
-13. l'état du mouvement (si la gestion du mouvements est configurée)
-14. le pourcentage d'ouverture de la vanne (pour le type `over_valve`)
-
-Pour colorer les capteurs, ajouter ces lignes et personnalisez les au besoin, dans votre configuration.yaml :
-
-```
-frontend:
-  themes:
-    versatile_thermostat_theme:
-      state-binary_sensor-safety-on-color: "#FF0B0B"
-      state-binary_sensor-power-on-color: "#FF0B0B"
-      state-binary_sensor-window-on-color: "rgb(156, 39, 176)"
-      state-binary_sensor-motion-on-color: "rgb(156, 39, 176)"
-      state-binary_sensor-presence-on-color: "lightgreen"
-      state-binary_sensor-running-on-color: "orange"
-```
-et choisissez le thème ```versatile_thermostat_theme``` dans la configuration du panel. Vous obtiendrez quelque-chose qui va ressembler à ça :

-
-# Services
-
-Cette implémentation personnalisée offre des services spécifiques pour faciliter l'intégration avec d'autres composants Home Assistant.
-
-## Forcer la présence/occupation
-Ce service permet de forcer l'état de présence indépendamment du capteur de présence. Cela peut être utile si vous souhaitez gérer la présence via un service et non via un capteur. Par exemple, vous pouvez utiliser votre réveil pour forcer l'absence lorsqu'il est allumé.
-
-Le code pour appeler ce service est le suivant :
-```
-service : versatile_thermostat.set_presence
-Les données:
-    présence : "off"
-cible:
-    entity_id : climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-## Modifier la température des préréglages
-Ce service est utile si vous souhaitez modifier dynamiquement la température préréglée. Au lieu de changer de préréglage, certains cas d'utilisation doivent modifier la température du préréglage. Ainsi, vous pouvez garder le Programmateur inchangé pour gérer le préréglage et ajuster la température du préréglage.
-Si le préréglage modifié est actuellement sélectionné, la modification de la température cible est immédiate et sera prise en compte au prochain cycle de calcul.
-
-Vous pouvez modifier l'une ou les deux températures (lorsqu'elles sont présentes ou absentes) de chaque préréglage.
-
-Utilisez le code suivant pour régler la température du préréglage :
-```
-service : versatile_thermostat.set_preset_temperature
-date:
-    preset : boost
-    temperature : 17,8
-    temperature_away : 15
-target:
-    entity_id : climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-Ou pour changer le pré-réglage du mode Air Conditionné (AC) ajoutez un préfixe `_ac`` au nom du preset comme ceci :
-```
-service: versatile_thermostat.set_preset_temperature
-data:
-    preset: boost_ac
-    temperature: 25
-    temperature_away: 30
-target:
-    entity_id: climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-> ![Astuce](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-    - après un redémarrage, les préréglages sont réinitialisés à la température configurée. Si vous souhaitez que votre changement soit permanent, vous devez modifier le préréglage de la température dans la configuration de l'intégration.
-
-## Modifier les paramètres de sécurité
-Ce service permet de modifier dynamiquement les paramètres de sécurité décrits ici [Configuration avancée](#configuration-avancée).
-Si le thermostat est en mode ``security`` les nouveaux paramètres sont appliqués immédiatement.
-
-Pour changer les paramètres de sécurité utilisez le code suivant :
-```
-service : versatile_thermostat.set_security
-data:
-    min_on_percent: "0.5"
-    default_on_percent: "0.1"
-    delay_min: 60
-target:
-    entity_id : climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-## ByPass Window Check
-Ce service permet d'activer ou non un bypass de la vérification des fenetres.
-Il permet de continuer à chauffer même si la fenetre est detectée ouverte.
-Mis à ``true`` les modifications de status de la fenetre n'auront plus d'effet sur le thermostat, remis à ``false`` cela s'assurera de désactiver le thermostat si la fenetre est toujours ouverte.
-
-Pour changer le paramètre de bypass utilisez le code suivant :
-```
-service : versatile_thermostat.set_window_bypass
-data:
-    window_bypass: true
-target:
-    entity_id : climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-# Notifications
-Les évènements marquant du thermostat sont notifiés par l'intermédiaire du bus de message.
-Les évènements notifiés sont les suivants:
-
-- ``versatile_thermostat_security_event`` : un thermostat entre ou sort du preset ``security``
-- ``versatile_thermostat_power_event`` : un thermostat entre ou sort du preset ``power``
-- ``versatile_thermostat_temperature_event`` : une ou les deux mesures de température d'un thermostat n'ont pas été mis à jour depuis plus de `security_delay_min`` minutes
-- ``versatile_thermostat_hvac_mode_event`` : le thermostat est allumé ou éteint. Cet évènement est aussi diffusé au démarrage du thermostat
-- ``versatile_thermostat_preset_event`` : un nouveau preset est sélectionné sur le thermostat. Cet évènement est aussi diffusé au démarrage du thermostat
-
-Si vous avez bien suivi, lorsqu'un thermostat passe en mode sécurité, 3 évènements sont déclenchés :
-1. ``versatile_thermostat_temperature_event`` pour indiquer qu'un thermomètre ne répond plus,
-2. ``versatile_thermostat_preset_event`` pour indiquer le passage en preset ```security```,
-3. ``versatile_thermostat_hvac_mode_event`` pour indiquer l'extinction éventuelle du thermostat
-
-Chaque évènement porte les valeurs clés de l'évènement (températures, preset courant, puissance courante, ...) ainsi que les états du thermostat.
-
-Vous pouvez très facilement capter ses évènements dans une automatisation par exemple pour notifier les utilisateurs.
-
-# Attributs personnalisés
-
-Pour régler l'algorithme, vous avez accès à tout le contexte vu et calculé par le thermostat via des attributs dédiés. Vous pouvez voir (et utiliser) ces attributs dans l'IHM "Outils de développement / états" de HA. Entrez votre thermostat et vous verrez quelque chose comme ceci :

 Enjoy !
 
-# Encore mieux
-
-## Encore mieux avec le composant Scheduler !
-
-Afin de profiter de toute la puissance du Versatile Thermostat, je vous invite à l'utiliser avec https://github.com/nielsfaber/scheduler-component
-En effet, le composant scheduler propose une gestion de la base climatique sur les modes prédéfinis. Cette fonctionnalité a un intérêt limité avec le thermostat générique mais elle devient très puissante avec le thermostat Awesome :
-
-À partir d'ici, je suppose que vous avez installé Awesome Thermostat et Scheduler Component.
-
-Dans Scheduler, ajoutez un planning :
-
-![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1717155/119146454-ee1a9d80-ba4a-11eb-80ae-3074c3511830.png)
-
-Choisissez le groupe "climat", choisissez une (ou plusieurs) entité(s), sélectionnez "MAKE SCHEME" et cliquez sur suivant :
-(il est possible de choisir "SET PRESET", mais je préfère utiliser "MAKE SCHEME")
-
-![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1717155/119147210-aa746380-ba4b-11eb-8def-479a741c0ba7.png)
-
-Définissez votre schéma de mode et enregistrez :

-
-Dans cet exemple, j'ai réglé le mode ECO pendant la nuit et le jour lorsqu'il n'y a personne à la maison BOOST le matin et CONFORT le soir.
-
-
-J'espère que cet exemple vous aidera, n'hésitez pas à me faire part de vos retours !
-
-## Encore bien mieux avec la custom:simple-thermostat front integration
-Le ``custom:simple-thermostat`` [ici](https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat) est une excellente intégration qui permet une certaine personnalisation qui s'adapte bien à ce thermostat.
-Vous pouvez avoir quelque chose comme ça très facilement ![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/simple-thermostat.png?raw=true)
-Exemple de configuration :
-
-```
-      type: custom:simple-thermostat
-      entity: climate.thermostat_sam2
-      layout:
-        step: row
-      label:
-        temperature: T°
-        state: Etat
-      hide:
-        state: false
-      control:
-        hvac:
-          _name: Mode
-        preset:
-          _name: Preset
-      sensors:
-        - entity: sensor.total_puissance_radiateur_sam2
-          icon: mdi:lightning-bolt-outline
-      header:
-        toggle:
-          entity: input_boolean.etat_ouverture_porte_sam
-          name: Porte sam
-```
-
-Vous pouvez personnaliser ce composant à l'aide du composant HACS card-mod pour ajuster les couleurs des alertes. Exemple pour afficher en rouge les alertes sécurité et délestage :
-
-```
-          card_mod:
-            style: |
-              {% if is_state('binary_sensor.thermostat_chambre_security_state', 'on') %}
-              ha-card .body .sensor-heading ha-icon[icon="mdi:alert-outline"] {
-                color: red;
-              }
-              {% endif %}
-              {% if is_state('binary_sensor.thermostat_chambre_overpowering_state', 'on') %}
-              ha-card .body .sensor-heading ha-icon[icon="mdi:flash"] {
-                color: red;
-              }
-              {% endif %}
-```
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/custom-css-thermostat.png?raw=true)
-
-## Toujours mieux avec Apex-chart pour régler votre thermostat
-Vous pouvez obtenir une courbe comme celle présentée dans [some results](#some-results) avec une sorte de configuration de graphique Apex uniquement en utilisant les attributs personnalisés du thermostat décrits [ici](#custom-attributes) :
-
-```
-type: custom:apexcharts-card

-## Et toujours de mieux en mieux avec l'AappDaemon NOTIFIER pour notifier les évènements
-Cette automatisation utilise l'excellente App Daemon nommée NOTIFIER développée par Horizon Domotique que vous trouverez en démonstration [ici](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chJylIK0ASo&ab_channel=HorizonDomotique) et le code est [ici](https://github.com/jlpouffier/home-assistant-config/blob/master/appdaemon/apps/notifier.py). Elle permet de notifier les utilisateurs du logement lorsqu'un des évènements touchant à la sécurité survient sur un des Versatile Thermostats.
-
-C'est un excellent exemple de l'utilisation des notifications décrites ici [notification](#notifications).

-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) This thermostat integration aims to drastically simplify your automations around climate management. Because all classical events in climate are natively handled by the thermostat (nobody at home ?, activity detected in a room ?, window open ?, power shedding ?), you don't have to build over complicated scripts and automations to manage your climates ;-).

-This custom component for Home Assistant is an upgrade and is a complete rewrite of the component "Awesome thermostat" (see [Github](https://github.com/dadge/awesome_thermostat)) with addition of features.
-
->![New](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/new-icon.png?raw=true) _*News*_
-> * **Release 3.7**: Addition of the Versatile Thermostat type `over valve` to control a TRV valve directly or any other dimmer type equipment for heating. Regulation is then done directly by acting on the opening percentage of the underlying entity: 0 the valve is cut off, 100: the valve is fully opened. See [#131](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/131). Added a function allowing the bypass of opening detection [#138](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/138). Added Slovak language
-> * **Release 3.6**: Added the `motion_off_delay` parameter to improve motion management [#116](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/116), [#128](https ://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/128). Added AC (air conditioning) mode for a VTherm over switch. Preparing the Github project to facilitate contributions [#127](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/127)
-> * **Release 3.5**: Multiple thermostats when using "thermostat over another thermostat" mode [#113](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/113)
-> * **Release 3.4**: bug fixes and expose preset temperatures for AC mode [#103](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/103)
-> * **Release 3.3**: add the Air Conditionned mode (AC). This feature allow to use the eventual AC mode of your underlying climate entity. You have to check the "Use AC mode" checkbox in configuration and give preset temperature value for AC mode and AC mode when absent if absence is configured
-> * **Release 3.2**: add the ability to control multiple switches from the same thermostat. In this mode, the switches are triggered with a delay to minimize the power required at one time (we minimize the recovery periods). See [Configuration](#select-the-driven-entity)
-<details>
-<summary>Others releases</summary>
-
-> * **Release 3.1**: added detection of open windows/doors by temperature drop. This new function makes it possible to automatically stop a radiator when the temperature drops suddenly. See [Auto mode](#auto-mode)
-> * **Major release 3.0**: addition of thermostat equipment and associated sensors (binary and non-binary). Much closer to the Home Assistant philosophy, you now have direct access to the energy consumed by the radiator controlled by the thermostat and many other sensors that will be useful in your automations and dashboard.
-> * **release 2.3**: addition of the power and energy measurement of the radiator controlled by the thermostat.
-> * **release 2.2**: addition of a safety function allowing a radiator not to be left heating forever in the event of a thermometer failure
-> * **major release 2.0**: addition of the "over climate" thermostat allowing you to transform any thermostat into a Versatile Thermostat and add all the functions of the latter.

-# Thanks for the beer [buymecoffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jmcollin78)
-Many thanks to @salabur, @pvince83, @bergoglio, @EPicLURcher, @ecolorado66, @Kriss1670, @maia, @f.maymil, @moutte69, @Jerome for the beers. It's very pleasing.
-
-# When to use / not use
-This thermostat can control 3 types of equipment:
-1. a radiator that only operates in on/off mode (called ``thermostat_over_switch```). The minimum configuration necessary to use this type thermostat is:
-   1. equipment such as a radiator (a ``switch``` or equivalent),
-   2. a temperature probe for the room (or an input_number),
-   3. an external temperature sensor (consider weather integration if you don't have one)
-2. another thermostat which has its own operating modes (named ``thermostat_over_climate```). For this type of thermostat the minimum configuration requires:
-   1. equipment - such as air conditioning, a thermostatic valve - which is controlled by its own ``climate'' type entity,
-3. equipment which can take a value from 0 to 100% (called `thermostat_over_valve`). At 0 the heating is cut off, 100% it is fully opened. This type allows you to control a thermostatic valve (see Shelly valve) which exposes an entity of type `number.` allowing you to directly control the opening of the valve. Versatile Thermostat regulates the room temperature by adjusting the opening percentage, using the interior and exterior temperature sensors using the TPI algorithm described below.
-The ```thermostat_over_climate``` type allows you to add all the functionality provided by VersatileThermostat to your existing equipment. The climate VersatileThermostat entity will control your existing climate entity, turning it off if the windows are open, switching it to Eco mode if no one is present, etc. See [here](#why-a-new-implementation-of-the-thermostat). For this type of thermostat, any heating cycles are controlled by the underlying climate entity and not by the Versatile Thermostat itself.
-
-## Incompatibilities
-
-Some TRV type thermostats are known to be incompatible with the Versatile Thermostat. This is the case for the following valves:
-1. Danfoss POPP valves with temperature feedback. It is impossible to turn off this valve and it self-regulates, causing conflicts with the VTherm,
-2. “Homematic radio” thermostatic valves. They have a duty cycle incompatible with control by the Versatile Thermostat
-
-# Why another thermostat implementation ?
-
-This component named __Versatile thermostat__ manage the following use cases :
-- Configuration through standard integration GUI (using Config Entry flow),
-- Full uses of **presets mode**,
-- Unset the preset mode when the temperature is **manually defined** on a thermostat,
-- Turn off/on a thermostat when a **door or windows is opened/closed** after a certain delay,
-- Change preset when an **activity is detected** or not in a room for a defined time,
-- Use a **TPI (Time Proportional Interval) algorithm** thank's to [[Argonaute](https://forum.hacf.fr/u/argonaute/summary)] algorithm ,
-- Add **power shedding management** or regulation to avoid exceeding a defined total power. When max power is exceeded, a hidden 'power' preset is set on the climate entity. When power goes below the max, the previous preset is restored.
-- Add **home presence management**. This feature allows you to dynamically change the temperature of preset considering a occupancy sensor of your home.
-- Add **services to interact with the thermostat** from others integration: you can force the presence / un-presence using a service, and you can dynamically change the temperature of the presets and change dynamically the security parameters.
-- Add sensors to see the internal states of the thermostat

-# How to install this incredible Versatile Thermostat ?
-
-## HACS installation (recommended)
-
-1. Install [HACS](https://hacs.xyz/). That way you get updates automatically.
-2. The Versatile Thermostat integration is now offered directly from the HACF interface (integration tab).
-3. search and install "Versatile Thermostat" in HACS and click `install`.
-4. Restart Home Assistant,
-5. Then you can add an Versatile Thermostat integration in the integration page. You add as many Versatile Thermostat that you need (typically one per heater that should be managed)
-
-## Manual installation
-
-1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find `configuration.yaml`).
-2. If you do not have a `custom_components` directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
-3. In the `custom_components` directory (folder) create a new folder called `versatile_thermostat`.
-4. Download _all_ the files from the `custom_components/versatile_thermostat/` directory (folder) in this repository.
-5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
-6. Restart Home Assistant
-7. Configure new Versatile Thermostat integration
-
-
-# Configuration
-
-Note: no configuration in configuration.yaml is needed because all configuration is done through the standard GUI when adding the integration.
-
-Click on Add integration button in the integration page
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/add-an-integration.png?raw=true)
-
-The configuration can be change through the same interface. Simply select the thermostat to change, hit "Configure" and you will be able to change some parameters or configuration.
-
-Then follow the configurations steps as follow:
-
-## Minimal configuration update
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-main.png?raw=true)
-
-Give the main mandatory attributes:
-1. a name (will be the name of the integration and also the name of the climate entity)
-2. the thermostat type ```thermostat_over_switch``` to control a radiator controlled by a switch or ```thermostat_over_climate``` to control another thermostat, or ```thermostat_over_valve``` Cf. [above](# why-a-new-thermostat-implementation)
-4. a temperature sensor entity identifier which gives the temperature of the room in which the radiator is installed,
-5. a temperature sensor entity giving the outside temperature. If you don't have an external sensor, you can use local weather integration
-6. a cycle duration in minutes. On each cycle, the heater will cycle on and then off for a calculated time to reach the target temperature (see [preset](#configure-the-preset-temperature) below). In ```over_climate``` mode, the cycle is only used to carry out basic controls but does not directly regulate the temperature. It's the underlying climate that does it,
-7. minimum and maximum thermostat temperatures,
-8. the power of the l'équipement which will activate the power and energy sensors of the device,
-9. the list of features that will be used for this thermostat. Depending on your choices, the following configuration screens will appear or not.
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-> 1. With the ```thermostat_over_switch``` type, calculation are done at each cycle. So in case of conditions change, you will have to wait for the next cycle to see a change. For this reason, the cycle should not be too long. **5 min is a good value**,
-> 2. if the cycle is too short, the heater could never reach the target temperature. For the storage radiator for example it will be used unnecessarily.
-
-## Select the driven entity
-Depending on your choice of thermostat type, you will need to choose one or more `switch`, `climate` or `number` type entities. Only entities compatible with the type are presented.
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*How to choose the type*_
-> The choice of type is important. Even if it is always possible to modify it afterwards via the configuration HMI, it is preferable to ask yourself the following few questions:
-> 1. **what type of equipment am I going to pilot?** In order, here is what to do:
->    1. if you have a thermostatic valve (TRV) that can be controlled in Home Assistant via a ```number``` type entity (for example a _Shelly TRV_), choose the `over_valve` type. It is the most direct type and which ensures the best regulation,
->    2. if you have an electric radiator (with or without pilot wire) and a ```switch``` type entity allows you to turn it on or off, then the ```over_switch``` type is preferable. Regulation will be done by the Versatile Thermostat according to the temperature measured by your thermometer, where you have placed it,
->    3. in all other cases, use the ```over_climate``` mode. You keep your original `climate` entity and the Versatile Thermostat "only" controls the on/off and the target temperature of your original thermostat. Regulation is done by your original thermostat in this case. This mode is particularly suitable for all-in-one reversible air conditioning systems whose exposure in Home Assistant is limited to a `climate` type entity.
-> 2. **what type of regulation do I want?** If the controlled equipment has its own regulation mechanism (air conditioning, certain TRV valve) and this regulation works well, opt for an ``over_climate```
-It is possible to choose an over switch thermostat which controls air conditioning by checking the "AC Mode" box. In this case, only the cooling mode will be visible.
-
-### For a ```thermostat_over_switch``` type thermostat
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-linked-entity.png?raw=true)
-The algorithm to use is currently limited to TPI is available. See [algorithm](#algorithm).
-If several type entities are configured, the thermostat shifts the activations in order to minimize the number of switches active at a time t. This allows for better power distribution since each radiator will turn on in turn.
-Example of synchronized triggering:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/multi-switch-activation.png?raw=true)
-
-It is possible to choose an over switch thermostat which controls air conditioning by checking the "AC Mode" box. In this case, only the cooling mode will be visible.
-
-
-### For a thermostat of type ```thermostat_over_climate```:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-linked-entity2.png?raw=true)
-
-It is possible to choose an over climate thermostat which controls reversible air conditioning by checking the “AC Mode” box. In this case, depending on the equipment ordered, you will have access to heating and/or cooling.
-
-### For a thermostat of type ```thermostat_over_valve```:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-linked-entity3.png?raw=true)
-You can choose up to domain entity ```number``` or ```ìnput_number``` which will control the valves.
-The algorithm to use is currently limited to TPI is available. See [algorithm](#algorithm).
-
-It is possible to choose an over valve thermostat which controls air conditioning by checking the "AC Mode" box. In this case, only the cooling mode will be visible.
-
-## Configure the TPI algorithm coefficients
-click on 'Validate' on the previous page, and if you choose a  ```over_switch``` or ```over_valve``` thermostat and you will get there:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-tpi.png?raw=true)
-
-For more informations on the TPI algorithm and tuned please refer to [algorithm](#algorithm).
-
-## Configure the preset temperature
-Click on 'Validate' on the previous page and you will get there:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-presets.png?raw=true)
-
-The preset mode allows you to pre-configurate targeted temperature. Used in conjonction with Scheduler (see [scheduler](#even-better-with-scheduler-component) you will have a powerfull and simple way to optimize the temperature vs electrical consumption of your hous. Preset handled are the following :
- - **Eco** : device is running an energy-saving mode
- - **Comfort** : device is in comfort mode
- - **Boost** : device turn all valve full up
-
- If AC mode is used, you will also be able to configure temperatures when the equipment is in cooling mode.
-
-**None** is always added in the list of modes, as it is a way to not use the presets modes but a **manual temperature** instead.
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
->  1. Changing manually the target temperature, set the preset to None (no preset). This way you can always set a target temperature even if no preset are available.
->  2. standard ``Away`` preset is a hidden preset which is not directly selectable. Versatile Thermostat uses the presence management or movement management to set automatically and dynamically the target temperature depending on a presence in the home or an activity in the room. See [presence management](#configure-the-presence-management).
->  3. if you uses the power shedding management, you will see a hidden preset named ``power``. The heater preset is set to ``power`` when overpowering conditions are encountered and shedding is active for this heater. See [power management](#configure-the-power-management).
->  4. if you uses the advanced configuration you will see the preset set to ``security`` if the temperature could not be retrieved after a certain delay
->  5. ff you don't want to use the preseet, give 0 as temperature. The preset will then been ignored and will not displayed in the front component
-
-## Configure the doors/windows turning on/off the thermostats
-You must have chosen the ```With opening detection``` feature on the first page to arrive on this page.
-The detection of openings can be done in 2 ways:
-1. either with a sensor placed on the opening (sensor mode),
-2. either by detecting a sudden drop in temperature (auto mode)
-
-### The sensor mode
-In sensor mode, you must fill in the following information:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-window-sensor.png?raw=true)
-
-1. an entity ID of a **window/door sensor**. It should be a binary_sensor or an input_boolean. The state of the entity must be 'on' when the window is open or 'off' when it is closed
-2. a **delay in seconds** before any change. This allows a window to be opened quickly without stopping the heating.
-
-### Auto mode
-In auto mode, the configuration is as follows:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-window-auto.png?raw=true)
-
-1. a detection threshold in degrees per minute. When the temperature drops below this threshold, the thermostat will turn off. The lower this value, the faster the detection will be (in return for a risk of false positives),
-2. an end of detection threshold in degrees per minute. When the temperature drop goes above this value, the thermostat will go back to the previous mode (mode and preset),
-3. maximum detection time. Beyond this time, the thermostat will return to its previous mode and preset even if the temperature continues to drop.
-
-To set the thresholds it is advisable to start with the reference values ​​and adjust the detection thresholds. A few tries gave me the following values ​​(for a desktop):
-- detection threshold: 0.05°C/min
-- non-detection threshold: 0 °C/min
-- maximum duration: 60 min.
-
-A new "slope" sensor has been added for all thermostats. It gives the slope of the temperature curve in °C/min (or °K/min). This slope is smoothed and filtered to avoid aberrant values ​​from the thermometers which would interfere with the measurement.
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/temperature-slope.png?raw=true)
-
-To properly adjust it is advisable to display on the same historical graph the temperature curve and the slope of the curve (the "slope"):
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/window-auto-tuning.png?raw=true)
-
-And that's all ! your thermostat will turn off when the windows are open and turn back on when closed.
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-> 1. If you want to use **multiple door/window sensors** to automate your thermostat, just create a group with the usual behavior (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor.group/)
-> 2. If you don't have a window/door sensor in your room, just leave the sensor entity id blank,
-> 3. **Only one mode is allowed**. You cannot configure a thermostat with a sensor and automatic detection. The 2 modes may contradict each other, it is not possible to have the 2 modes at the same time,
-> 4. It is not recommended to use the automatic mode for equipment subject to frequent and normal temperature variations (corridors, open areas, ...)
-
-## Configure the activity mode or motion detection
-If you choose the ```Motion management``` feature, lick on 'Validate' on the previous page and you will get there:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-motion.png?raw=true)
-
-We will now see how to configure the new Activity mode.
-What we need:
-- a **motion sensor**. The entity id of a motion sensor. Motion sensor states should be 'on' (motion detected) or 'off' (no motion detected)
-- a **motion delay** (in seconds) duration defining how long we wait for motion confirmation before considering the motion
-- a **end of motion delay** (in seconds) duration defining how long we wait for end of motion confirmation before considering the end of motion
-- a **target "motion" preset**. We will used the temperature of this preset when an activity is detected.
-- a **target "no motion" preset**. We will used the temperature of this second preset when no activity is detected.
-
-- we have a room with a thermostat set to activity mode, the "movement" mode chosen is comfort (21.5°C), the "no movement" mode chosen is Eco (18.5°C) and the movement delay is 30 sec during detection and 5 minutes at the end of detection.
-- the room has been empty for a while (no activity detected), the temperature of this room is 18.5°
-- someone enters the room, activity is detected if movement is present for at least 30 seconds. The temperature then rises to 21.5°
-- if the movement is present for less than 30 seconds (rapid passage), the temperature remains at 18.5°,
-- imagine that the temperature has risen to 21.5°, when the person leaves the room, after 5 minutes the temperature is reduced to 18.5°.
-- if the person returns before 5 minutes, the temperature remains at 21.5°
-
-For this to work, the climate thermostat should be in ``Activity`` preset mode.
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true)  _*Notes*_
-> 1. Be aware that as for the others preset modes, ``Activity`` will only be proposed if it's correctly configure. In other words, the 4 configuration keys have to be set if you want to see Activity in home assistant Interface
-
-## Configure the power management
-
-If you choose the ```Power management``` feature, click on 'Validate' on the previous page and you will get there:
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-power.png?raw=true)
-
-This feature allows you to regulate the power consumption of your radiators. Known as shedding, this feature allows you to limit the electrical power consumption of your heater if overpowering conditions are detected. Give a **sensor to the current power consumption of your house**, a **sensor to the max power** that should not be exceeded, the **power consumption of your heater** (in the first step of the configuration) and the algorithm will not start a radiator if the max power will be exceeded after radiator starts.
-
-
-Note that all power values should have the same units (kW or W for example).
-This allows you to change the max power along time using a Scheduler or whatever you like.
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true)  _*Notes*_
-> 1. When shedding is encountered, the heater is set to the preset named ``power``. This is a hidden preset, you cannot select it manually.
-> 2. I use this to avoid exceeded the limit of my electrical power contract when an electrical vehicle is charging. This makes a kind of auto-regulation.
-> 3. Always keep a margin, because max power can be briefly exceeded while waiting for the next cycle calculation typically or by not regulated equipement.
-> 4. If you don't want to use this feature, just leave the entities id empty
-
-## Configure the presence or occupancy
-If you choose the ```Presence management``` feature, this feature allows you to dynamically changes the temperature of all configured Versatile thermostat's presets when nobody is at home or when someone comes back home. For this, you have to configure the temperature that will be used for each preset when presence is off. When the occupancy sensor turns to off, those tempoeratures will be used. When it turns on again the "normal" temperature configured for the preset is used. See [preset management](#configure-the-preset-temperature).
-To configure presence fills this form:
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-presence.png?raw=true)
-
-For this you need to configure:
-1. A **occupancy sensor** which state should be 'on' or 'home' if someone is present or 'off' or 'not_home' else,
-2. The **temperature used in Eco** preset when absent,
-3. The **temperature used in Comfort** preset when absent,
-4. The **temperature used in Boost** preset when absent
-
-Si le mode AC est utilisé, vous pourrez aussi configurer les températures lorsque l'équipement en mode climatisation.
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true)  _*Notes*_
-> 1. the switch of temperature is immediate and is reflected on the front component. The calculation will take the new target temperature into account at the next cycle calculation,
-> 2. you can use direct person.xxxx sensor or group of sensors of Home Assistant. The presence sensor handles ``on`` or ``home`` states as present and ``off`` or ``not_home`` state as absent.
-
-## Advanced configuration
-Those parameters allows to fine tune the thermostat.
-The advanced configuration form is the following:
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/config-advanced.png?raw=true)
-
-The first delay (minimal_activation_delay_sec) in sec in the minimum delay acceptable for turning on the heater. When calculation gives a power on delay below this value, the heater will stays off.
-
-The second delay (security_delay_min) is the maximal delay between two temperature measure before setting the preset to ``security`` and turning off the thermostat. If the temperature sensor is no more giving temperature measures, the thermostat and heater will turns off after this delay and the preset of the thermostat will be set to ``security``. This is useful to avoid overheating is the battery of your temperature sensor is too low.
-
-The third parameter (``security_min_on_percent``) is the minimum value of ``on_percent`` below which the security preset will not be activated. This parameter makes it possible not to put a thermostat in safety, if the controlled radiator does not heat sufficiently.
-Setting this parameter to ``0.00`` will trigger the security preset regardless of the last heating setpoint, conversely ``1.00`` will never trigger the security preset (which amounts to disabling the function).
-
-The fourth parameter (``security_default_on_percent``) is the ``on_percent`` value that will be used when the thermostat enters ``security`` mode. If you put ``0`` then the thermostat will be cut off when it goes into ``security`` mode, putting 0.2% for example allows you to keep a little heating (20% in this case), even in mode ``security``. It avoids finding your home totally frozen during a thermometer failure.
-
-See [example tuning](#examples-tuning) for common tuning examples
-
->![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true) _*Notes*_
-> 1. When the temperature sensor comes to life and returns the temperatures, the preset will be restored to its previous value,
-> 2. Attention, two temperatures are needed: internal temperature and external temperature and each must give the temperature, otherwise the thermostat will be in "security" preset,
-> 3. A service is available that allows you to set the 3 security parameters. This can be used to adapt the security function to your use.
-> 4. For natural usage, the ``security_default_on_percent`` should be less than ``security_min_on_percent``,
-> 5. When a ``thermostat_over_climate`` type thermostat goes into ``security`` mode it is turned off. The ``security_min_on_percent`` and ``security_default_on_percent`` parameters are then not used.

-# Examples tuning
-
-## Electrical heater
-- cycle: between 5 and 10 minutes,
-- minimal_activation_delay_sec: 30 seconds
-
-## Central heating (gaz or fuel heating system)
-- cycle: between 30 and 60 min,
-- minimal_activation_delay_sec: 300 seconds (because of the response time)
-
-## Temperature sensor will battery
-- security_delay_min: 60 min (because these sensors are lazy)
-- security_min_on_percent: 0.5 (50% - we go to the ``security`` preset if the radiator was heating more than 50% of the time)
-- security_default_on_percent: 0.1 (10% - in preset ``security``, we keep a heating background 20% of the time)
-
-These settings should be understood as follows:
-
-> If the thermometer no longer sends the temperature for 1 hour and the heating percentage (``on_percent``) was greater than 50%, then this heating percentage is reduced to 10%.
-
-It's up to you to adapt these settings to your case!
-
-What is important is not to take too many risks with these parameters: suppose you are away for a long period, that the batteries of your thermometer reach the end of their life, your radiator will heat up 10% of the time for the whole the duration of the outage.
-
-Versatile Thermostat allows you to be notified when an event of this type occurs. Set up the alerts that go well as soon as you use this thermostat. See (#notifications)
-
-## Reactive temperature sensor (on mains)
-- security_delay_min: 15min
-- security_min_on_percent: 0.7 (70% - we go to the ``security`` preset if the radiator was heating more than 70% of the time)
-- security_default_on_percent: 0.25 (25% - in preset ``security``, we keep a heating background 25% of the time)
-
-## My preset configuration
-This is just an example of how I use the preset. It up to you to adapt to your configuration but it can be useful to understand how it works.
-``Eco``: 17 °C
-``Comfort``: 19 °C
-``Boost``: 20 °C
-
-When presence if off:
-``Eco``: 16.5 °C
-``Comfort``: 17 °C
-``Boost``: 18 °C
-
-Motion detector in my office is set to use ``Boost`` when motion is detected and ``Eco`` if not.
-
-# Algorithm
-This integration uses a proportional algorithm. A Proportional algorithm is useful to avoid the oscillation around the target temperature. This algorithm is based on a cycle which alternate heating and stop heating. The proportion of heating vs not heating is determined by the difference between the temperature and the target temperature. Bigger the difference is and bigger is the proportion of heating inside the cycle.
-
-This algorithm make the temperature converge and stop oscillating.
-
-## TPI algorithm
-The TPI algorithm consist in the calculation at each cycle of a percentage of On state vs Off state for the heater using the target temperature, the current temperature in the room and the current external temperature. This algorithm is therefore only valid for Versatile Thermostats which regulate: `over_switch` and `over_valve`.
-
-The percentage is calculated with this formula:
-
-    on_percent = coef_int * (target temperature - current temperature) + coef_ext * (target temperature - external temperature)
-    Then make 0 <= on_percent <= 1
-
-Defaults values for coef_int and coef_ext are respectively: ``0.6`` and ``0.01``. Those defaults values are suitable for a standard well isolated room.
-
-To tune those coefficients keep in mind that:
-1. **if target temperature is not reach** after stable situation, you have to augment the ``coef_ext`` (the ``on_percent`` is too low),
-2. **if target temperature is exceeded** after stable situation, you have to decrease the ``coef_ext`` (the ``on_percent`` is too high),
-3. **if reaching the target temperature is too slow**, you can increase the ``coef_int`` to give more power to the heater,
-4. **if reaching the target temperature is too fast and some oscillations appears** around the target, you can decrease the ``coef_int`` to give less power to the heater
-
-In type `over_valve` the `on_percent` is reduced to a value between 0 and 100% and is used directly to control the opening of the valve.
-
-See some situations at [examples](#some-results).
-
-# Sensors
-
-With the thermostat are available sensors that allow you to view the alerts and the internal status of the thermostat. They are available in the entities of the device associated with the thermostat:
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/thermostat-sensors.png?raw=true)
-
-In order, there are:
-1. the main climate thermostat command entity,
-2. the energy consumed by the thermostat (value which continuously increases),
-3. the time of receipt of the last outside temperature,
-4. the time of receipt of the last indoor temperature,
-5. the average power of the device over the cycle (for TPIs only),
-6. the time spent in the off state in the cycle (TPI only),
-7. the time spent in the on state in the cycle (TPI only),
-8. load shedding status,
-9. cycle power percentage (TPI only),
-10. presence status (if presence management is configured),
-11. security status,
-12. opening status (if opening management is configured),
-13. motion status (if motion management is configured),
-14. the valve opening percentage (for the `over_valve` type)
-
-To color the sensors, add these lines and customize them as needed, in your configuration.yaml:
-
-```
-frontend:
-  themes:
-    versatile_thermostat_theme:
-      state-binary_sensor-safety-on-color: "#FF0B0B"
-      state-binary_sensor-power-on-color: "#FF0B0B"
-      state-binary_sensor-window-on-color: "rgb(156, 39, 176)"
-      state-binary_sensor-motion-on-color: "rgb(156, 39, 176)"
-      state-binary_sensor-presence-on-color: "lightgreen"
-      state-binary_sensor-running-on-color: "orange"
-```
-and choose the ```versatile_thermostat_theme``` theme in the panel configuration. You will get something that will look like this:
-
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/colored-thermostat-sensors.png?raw=true)
-
-# Services
-
-This custom implementation offers some specific services to facilitate integration with others Home Assisstant components.
-
-## Force the presence / occupancy
-This service allows you to force the presence status independantly of the presence sensor. This can be useful if you want to manage the presence through a service and not through a sensor. For example, you could use your alarm to force the absence when it is switched on.
-
-The code to call this service is the following:
-```
-service: versatile_thermostat.set_presence
-data:
-    presence: "off"
-target:
-    entity_id: climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-## Change the temperature of presets
-This services is useful if you want to dynamically change the preset temperature. Instead of changing preset, some use-case need to change the temperature of the preset. So you can keep the Scheduler unchanged to manage the preset and adjust the temperature of the preset.
-If the changed preset is currently selectionned, the modification of the target temperature is immediate and will be taken into account at the next calculation cycle.
-
-You can change the one or the both temperature (when present or when absent) of each preset.
-
-Use the following code the set the temperature of the preset:
-```
-service: versatile_thermostat.set_preset_temperature
-data:
-    preset: boost
-    temperature: 17.8
-    temperature_away: 15
-target:
-    entity_id: climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-Or to change the preset of the AC mode, add _ac to the preset name like this:
-```
-service: versatile_thermostat.set_preset_temperature
-data:
-    preset: boost_ac
-    temperature: 25
-    temperature_away: 30
-target:
-    entity_id: climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-> ![Tip](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/tips.png?raw=true)  _*Notes*_
-    - after a restart the preset are resetted to the configured temperature. If you want your change to be permanent you should modify the temperature preset into the confguration of the integration.
-
-## Change security settings
-This service is used to dynamically modify the security parameters described here [Advanced configuration](#configuration-avanced).
-If the thermostat is in ``security`` mode the new settings are applied immediately.
-
-To change the security settings use the following code:
-```
-service : thermostat_polyvalent.set_security
-data:
-    min_on_percent: "0.5"
-    default_on_percent: "0.1"
-    delay_min: 60
-target:
-    entity_id : climate.my_thermostat
-```
-## ByPass Window Check
-This service is used to bypass the window check implemented to stop thermostat when an open window is detected.
-When set to ``true`` window event won't have any effect on the thermostat, when set back to ``false`` it will make sure to disable the thermostat if window is still open.
-
-To change the bypass setting use the following code:
-```
-service : thermostat_polyvalent.set_window_bypass
-data:
-    window_bypass: true
-target:
-    entity_id : climate.my_thermostat
-```
-
-# Notifications
-Significant thermostat events are notified via the message bus.
-The notified events are as follows:
-
-- ``versatile_thermostat_security_event``: a thermostat enters or exits the ``security`` preset
-- ``versatile_thermostat_power_event``: a thermostat enters or exits the ``power`` preset
-- ``versatile_thermostat_temperature_event``: one or both temperature measurements of a thermostat have not been updated for more than ``security_delay_min`` minutes
-- ``versatile_thermostat_hvac_mode_event``: the thermostat is on or off. This event is also broadcast when the thermostat starts up
-- ``versatile_thermostat_preset_event``: a new preset is selected on the thermostat. This event is also broadcast when the thermostat starts up
-
-If you have followed correctly, when a thermostat goes into safety mode, 3 events are triggered:
-1. ``versatile_thermostat_temperature_event`` to indicate that a thermometer has become unresponsive,
-2. ``versatile_thermostat_preset_event`` to indicate the switch to ```security``` preset,
-3. ``versatile_thermostat_hvac_mode_event`` to indicate the possible extinction of the thermostat
-
-Each event carries the key values ​​of the event (temperatures, current preset, current power, etc.) as well as the states of the thermostat.
-
-You can very easily capture its events in an automation, for example to notify users.
-
-# Custom attributes
-
-To tune the algorithm you have access to all context seen and calculted by the thermostat through dedicated attributes. You can see (and use) those attributes in the "Development tools / states" HMI of HA. Enter your thermostat and you will see something like this:

+![Tip](images/icon.png)
+
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) This thermostat integration aims to greatly simplify your heating management automations. Since all typical heating events (nobody home?, activity detected in a room?, window open?, power load shedding?), are natively managed by the thermostat, you don’t need to deal with complicated scripts and automations to manage your thermostats. ;-).
+
+This custom component for Home Assistant is an upgrade and a complete rewrite of the "Awesome thermostat" component (see [Github](https://github.com/dadge/awesome_thermostat)) with added features.
+
+# What's new?
+![New](images/new-icon.png)
+> * **Release 6.8**:
+>
+> Added a new regulation method for `over_climate` type Versatile Thermostats. This method, called 'Direct control of valve', allows direct control of a TRV valve and optionally a calibration offset for the internal thermometer of your TRV. This new method has been tested with Sonoff TRVZB and generalized for other TRV types whose valves can be directly controlled via `number` entities.
+>
+> More information [here](documentation/en/over-climate.md) and [here](documentation/en/self-regulation.md).
+>
+> * **Documentation overhaul**:
+>
+> With all the developments since the start of the integration, the documentation needed a major reorganization, which has been completed in this version. All feedback on this new organization is welcome.
+
+# 🍻 Thanks for the beers [buymecoffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jmcollin78) 🍻
+A big thank you to all my beer sponsors for their donations and encouragements. It means a lot to me and motivates me to keep going! If this integration has saved you money, buy me a beer in return; I would greatly appreciate it!
+
+# Glossary
+
+  _VTherm_: Versatile Thermostat as referred to in this document
+
+  _TRV_: Thermostatic Radiator Valve equipped with a valve. The valve opens or closes to allow hot water to pass.
+
+  _AC_: Air Conditioning. An AC device cools instead of heats. Temperatures are reversed: Eco is warmer than Comfort, which is warmer than Boost. The algorithms take this information into account.

-## Even Better with Scheduler Component !
+**Regulation with direct valve control in `over_climate`**
 
-In order to enjoy the full power of Versatile Thermostat, I invite you to use it with https://github.com/nielsfaber/scheduler-component
-Indeed, the scheduler component porpose a management of the climate base on the preset modes. This feature has limited interest with the generic thermostat but it becomes highly powerfull with Awesome thermostat :
+![image](documentation/en/images/results-over-climate-2.png)
 
-Starting here, I assume you have installed Awesome Thermostat and Scheduler Component.
-
-In Scheduler, add a schedule :
-
-![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1717155/119146454-ee1a9d80-ba4a-11eb-80ae-3074c3511830.png)
-
-Choose "climate" group, choose one (or multiple) entity/ies, select "MAKE SCHEME" and click next :
-(it is possible to choose "SET PRESET", but I prefer to use "MAKE SCHEME")
-
-![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1717155/119147210-aa746380-ba4b-11eb-8def-479a741c0ba7.png)
-
-Set your mode scheme and save :

-
-In this example I set ECO mode during the night and the day when nobody's at home BOOST in the morning and COMFORT in the evening.
-
-
-I hope this example helps you, don't hesitate to give me your feedbacks !
-
-## Even-even better with custom:simple-thermostat front integration
-The ``custom:simple-thermostat`` [here](https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat) is a great integration which allow some customisation which fits well with this thermostat.
-You can have something like that very easily ![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/simple-thermostat.png?raw=true)
-Example configuration:
-
-```
-      type: custom:simple-thermostat
-      entity: climate.thermostat_sam2
-      layout:
-        step: row
-      label:
-        temperature: T°
-        state: Etat
-      hide:
-        state: false
-      control:
-        hvac:
-          _name: Mode
-        preset:
-          _name: Preset
-      sensors:
-        - entity: sensor.total_puissance_radiateur_sam2

-        toggle:
-          entity: input_boolean.etat_ouverture_porte_sam
-          name: Porte sam
-```
-You can customize this component using the HACS card-mod component to adjust the alert colors. Example for displaying safety and load shedding alerts in red:
-
-```
-          card_mod:
-            style: |
-              {% if is_state('binary_sensor.thermostat_chambre_security_state', 'on') %}
-              ha-card .body .sensor-heading ha-icon[icon="mdi:alert-outline"] {
-                color: red;
-              }
-              {% endif %}
-              {% if is_state('binary_sensor.thermostat_chambre_overpowering_state', 'on') %}
-              ha-card .body .sensor-heading ha-icon[icon="mdi:flash"] {
-                color: red;
-              }
-              {% endif %}
-```
-![image](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/blob/main/images/custom-css-thermostat.png?raw=true)
-
-## Even better with Apex-chart to tune your Thermostat
-You can get curve like presented in [some results](#some-results) with kind of Apex-chart configuration only using the custom attributes of the thermostat described [here](#custom-attributes):
-
-```
-type: custom:apexcharts-card
-header:
-  show: true

-
-## And always better and better with the NOTIFIER daemon app to notify events
-This automation uses the excellent App Daemon named NOTIFIER developed by Horizon Domotique that you will find in demonstration [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chJylIK0ASo&ab_channel=HorizonDomotique) and the code is [here](https ://github.com/jlpouffier/home-assistant-config/blob/master/appdaemon/apps/notifier.py). It allows you to notify the users of the accommodation when one of the events affecting safety occurs on one of the Versatile Thermostats.
-
-This is a great example of using the notifications described here [notification](#notifications).

+## the Versatile Thermostat UI Card
+A dedicated card for the Versatile Thermostat has been developed (based on Better Thermostat). It is available here: [Versatile Thermostat UI Card](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile-thermostat-ui-card) and offers a modern view of all the VTherm statuses:

+
+## the Scheduler Component!
+
+To make the most out of the Versatile Thermostat, I recommend using it with the [Scheduler Component](https://github.com/nielsfaber/scheduler-component). The scheduler component provides climate scheduling based on predefined modes. While this feature is somewhat limited with the generic thermostat, it becomes very powerful when paired with the Versatile Thermostat.
+
+Assuming you have installed both the Versatile Thermostat and the Scheduler Component, here’s an example:
+
+In Scheduler, add a schedule:

+
+Choose the "Climate" group, select one (or more) entity, pick "MAKE SCHEME," and click next:
+(You can also choose "SET PRESET," but I prefer "MAKE SCHEME.")

+
+Define your mode scheme and save:

+
+In this example, I set ECO mode during the night and when no one is home during the day, BOOST in the morning, and COMFORT in the evening.
+
+I hope this example helps; feel free to share your feedback!

+  - [The Auto-Start/Stop Function Algorithm](#the-auto-startstop-function-algorithm)
+
+## The TPI Algorithm
+
+### Configuring the TPI Algorithm Coefficients
+
+If you have selected a thermostat of type `over_switch`, `over_valve`, or `over_climate` with self-regulation in `Direct Valve Control` mode and choose the "TPI" option in the menu, you will land on this page:
+
+![image](images/config-tpi.png)
+
+You need to provide:
+1. the coefficient `coef_int` for the TPI algorithm,
+2. the coefficient `coef_ext` for the TPI algorithm.
+
+### Principle
+
+The TPI algorithm calculates the On vs Off percentage for the radiator at each cycle, using the target temperature, the current room temperature, and the current outdoor temperature. This algorithm is only applicable for Versatile Thermostats operating in `over_switch` and `over_valve` modes.
+
+The percentage is calculated using this formula:
+
+    on_percent = coef_int * (target_temperature - current_temperature) + coef_ext * (target_temperature - outdoor_temperature)
+    Then, the algorithm ensures that 0 <= on_percent <= 1.
+
+The default values for `coef_int` and `coef_ext` are `0.6` and `0.01`, respectively. These default values are suitable for a standard well-insulated room.
+
+When adjusting these coefficients, keep the following in mind:
+1. **If the target temperature is not reached** after stabilization, increase `coef_ext` (the `on_percent` is too low),
+2. **If the target temperature is exceeded** after stabilization, decrease `coef_ext` (the `on_percent` is too high),
+3. **If reaching the target temperature is too slow**, increase `coef_int` to provide more power to the heater,
+4. **If reaching the target temperature is too fast and oscillations occur** around the target, decrease `coef_int` to provide less power to the radiator.
+
+In `over_valve` mode, the `on_percent` value is converted to a percentage (0 to 100%) and directly controls the valve's opening level.
+
+## The Self-Regulation Algorithm (Without Valve Control)
+
+The self-regulation algorithm can be summarized as follows:
+
+1. Initialize the target temperature as the VTherm setpoint,
+2. If self-regulation is enabled:
+   1. Calculate the regulated temperature (valid for a VTherm),
+   2. Use this temperature as the target,
+3. For each underlying device of the VTherm:
+     1. If "Use Internal Temperature" is checked:
+          1. Calculate the compensation (`trv_internal_temp - room_temp`),
+     2. Add the offset to the target temperature,
+     3. Send the target temperature (= regulated_temp + (internal_temp - room_temp)) to the underlying device.
+
+## The Auto-Start/Stop Function Algorithm
+
+The algorithm used in the auto-start/stop function operates as follows:
+1. If "Enable Auto-Start/Stop" is off, stop here.
+2. If VTherm is on and in Heating mode, when `error_accumulated` < `-error_threshold` -> turn off and save HVAC mode.
+3. If VTherm is on and in Cooling mode, when `error_accumulated` > `error_threshold` -> turn off and save HVAC mode.
+4. If VTherm is off and the saved HVAC mode is Heating, and `current_temperature + slope * dt <= target_temperature`, turn on and set the HVAC mode to the saved mode.
+5. If VTherm is off and the saved HVAC mode is Cooling, and `current_temperature + slope * dt >= target_temperature`, turn on and set the HVAC mode to the saved mode.
+6. `error_threshold` is set to `10 (° * min)` for slow detection, `5` for medium, and `2` for fast.
+
+`dt` is set to `30 min` for slow, `15 min` for medium, and `7 min` for fast detection levels.
+
+The function is detailed [here](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat/issues/585).

+
+# Choosing Basic Attributes
+
+Select the "Main Attributes" menu.
+
+![image](images/config-main.png)
+
+Provide the mandatory main attributes. These attributes are common to all VTherms:
+1. A name (this will be both the integration's name and the `climate` entity name),
+2. An entity ID of a temperature sensor that provides the room temperature where the radiator is installed,
+3. An optional sensor entity providing the last seen date and time of the sensor (`last_seen`). If available, specify it here. It helps prevent safety shutdowns when the temperature is stable, and the sensor stops reporting for a long time (see [here](troubleshooting.md#why-does-my-versatile-thermostat-go-into-safety-mode)),
+4. A cycle duration in minutes. At each cycle:
+   1. For `over_switch`: VTherm will turn the radiator on/off, modulating the proportion of time it is on,
+   2. For `over_valve`: VTherm will calculate a new valve opening level and send it if it has changed,
+   3. For `over_climate`: The cycle performs basic controls and recalculates the self-regulation coefficients. The cycle may result in a new setpoint sent to underlying devices or a valve opening adjustment in the case of a controllable TRV.
+5. The equipment's power, which will activate power and energy consumption sensors for the device. If multiple devices are linked to the same VTherm, specify the total maximum power of all devices here,
+6. The option to use additional parameters from centralized configuration:
+   1. Outdoor temperature sensor,
+   2. Minimum/maximum temperature and temperature step size,
+7. The option to control the thermostat centrally. See [centralized control](#centralized-control),
+8. A checkbox if this VTherm is used to trigger a central boiler.
+
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+>  1. With the `over_switch` and `over_valve` types, calculations are performed at each cycle. In case of changing conditions, you will need to wait for the next cycle to see a change. For this reason, the cycle should not be too long. **5 minutes is a good value**, but it should be adjusted to your heating type. The greater the inertia, the longer the cycle should be. See [Tuning examples](tuning-examples.md).
+>  2. If the cycle is too short, the radiator may never reach the target temperature. For example, with a storage heater, it will be unnecessarily activated.
+
+# Choosing the features to Use
+
+Select the "Features" menu.
+
+![image](images/config-features.png)
+
+Choose the features you want to use for this VTherm:
+1. **Opening detection** (doors, windows) stops heating when an opening is detected. (see [managing openings](feature-window.md)),
+2. **Motion detection**: VTherm can adjust the target temperature when motion is detected in the room. (see [motion detection](feature-motion.md)),
+3. **Power management**: VTherm can stop a device if the power consumption in your home exceeds a threshold. (see [load-shedding management](feature-power.md)),
+4. **Presence detection**: If you have a sensor indicating presence or absence in your home, you can use it to change the target temperature. See [presence management](feature-presence.md). Note the difference between this function and motion detection: presence is typically used at the home level, while motion detection is more room-specific.
+5. **Automatic start/stop**: For `over_climate` VTherms only. This function stops a device when VTherm detects it will not be needed for a while. It uses the temperature curve to predict when the device will be needed again and turns it back on at that time. See [automatic start/stop management](feature-auto-start-stop.md).
+
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+> 1. The list of available functions adapts to your VTherm type.
+> 2. When you enable a function, a new menu entry is added to configure it.
+> 3. You cannot validate the creation of a VTherm if all parameters for all enabled functions have not been configured.

+>
+> There are three ways to work with VTherms:
+> 1. Each Versatile Thermostat is fully configured independently. Choose this option if you do not want any centralized configuration or management.
+> 2. Some aspects are configured centrally. For example, you can define the minimum/maximum temperatures, open window detection parameters, etc., at a single central instance. For each VTherm you configure, you can then choose to use the central configuration or override it with custom parameters.
+> 3. In addition to centralized configuration, all VTherms can be controlled by a single `select` entity called `central_mode`. This feature allows you to stop/start/set frost protection/etc. for all VTherms at once. For each VTherm, you can specify if it is affected by this `central_mode`.
+
+## Creating a New Versatile Thermostat
+
+Click on "Add Integration" on the integration page (or click 'Add device' in the integration page)
+
+![image](images/add-an-integration.png)
+
+then:
+
+![image](images/config-main0.png)
+
+The configuration can be modified via the same interface. Simply select the thermostat to modify, press "Configure," and you will be able to change some parameters or settings.
+
+Follow the configuration steps by selecting the menu option to configure.
+
+# Choosing a VTherm Type
+
+## Centralized configuration
+This option allows you to configure certain repetitive aspects for all VTherms at once, such as:
+1. Parameters for different algorithms (TPI, open window detection, motion detection, power sensors for your home, presence detection). These parameters apply across all VTherms. You only need to enter them once in `Centralized Configuration`. This configuration does not create a VTherm itself but centralizes parameters that would be tedious to re-enter for each VTherm. Note that you can override these parameters on individual VTherms to specialize them if needed.
+2. Configuration for controlling a central heating system,
+3. Certain advanced parameters, such as safety settings.
+
+## VTherm over a switch
+This VTherm type controls a switch that turns a radiator on or off. The switch can be a physical switch directly controlling a radiator (often electric) or a virtual switch that can perform any action when turned on or off. The latter type can, for example, control pilot wire switches or DIY pilot wire solutions with diodes. VTherm modulates the proportion of time the radiator is on (`on_percent`) to achieve the desired temperature. If it is cold, it turns on more frequently (up to 100%); if it is warm, it reduces the on time.
+
+The underlying entities for this type are `switches` or `input_booleans`.
+
+## VTherm over another thermostat
+When your device is controlled by a `climate` entity in Home Assistant and you only have access to this, you should use this VTherm type. In this case, VTherm simply adjusts the target temperature of the underlying `climate` entity.
+
+This type also includes advanced self-regulation features to adjust the setpoint sent to the underlying device, helping to achieve the target temperature faster and mitigating poor internal regulation. For example, if the device's internal thermometer is too close to the heating element, it may incorrectly assume the room is warm while the setpoint is far from being achieved in other areas.
+
+Since version 6.8, this VTherm type can also regulate directly by controlling the valve. Ideal for controllable TRVs, this type is recommended if you have such devices.
+
+The underlying entities for this VTherm type are exclusively `climate`.
+
+## VTherm over a valve
+If the only entity available to regulate your radiator's temperature is a `number` entity, you should use the `over_valve` type. VTherm adjusts the valve opening based on the difference between the target temperature and the actual room temperature (and the outdoor temperature, if available).
+
+This type can be used for TRVs without an associated `climate` entity or other DIY solutions exposing a `number` entity.
+
+# Making the right choice
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*How to Choose the Type*_
+> Choosing the correct type is crucial. It cannot be changed later via the configuration interface. To make the right choice, consider the following questions:
+> 1. **What type of equipment will I control?** Follow this order of preference:
+>    1. If you have a controllable thermostatic valve (TRV) in Home Assistant through a `number` entity (e.g., a Shelly TRV), choose the `over_valve` type. This is the most direct type and ensures the best regulation.
+>    2. If you have an electric radiator (with or without a pilot wire) controlled by a `switch` entity to turn it on/off, then the `over_switch` type is preferable. Regulation will be managed by the Versatile Thermostat based on the temperature measured by your thermometer at its placement location.
+>    3. In all other cases, use the `over_climate` mode. You retain your original `climate` entity, and the Versatile Thermostat "only" controls the on/off state and target temperature of your original thermostat. Regulation is handled by your original thermostat in this case. This mode is particularly suited for all-in-one reversible air conditioning systems exposed as a `climate` entity in Home Assistant. Advanced self-regulation can achieve the setpoint faster by forcing the setpoint or directly controlling the valve when possible.
+> 2. **What type of regulation do I want?** If the controlled equipment has its own built-in regulation mechanism (e.g., HVAC systems, certain TRVs) and it works well, choose `over_climate`. For TRVs with a controllable valve in Home Assistant, the `over_climate` type with `Direct Valve Control` self-regulation is the best choice.

+    - [Minimum Activation Delay](#minimum-activation-delay)
+    - [Safety Mode](#safety-mode)
+
+These settings refine the thermostat's operation, particularly the safety mechanism for a _VTherm_. Missing temperature sensors (room or outdoor) can pose a risk to your home. For instance, if the temperature sensor gets stuck at 10°C, the `over_climate` or `over_valve` _VTherm_ types will command maximum heating of the underlying devices, which could lead to room overheating or even property damage, at worst resulting in a fire hazard.
+
+To prevent this, _VTherm_ ensures that thermometers report values regularly. If they don't, the _VTherm_ switches to a special mode called Safety Mode. This mode ensures minimal heating to prevent the opposite risk: a completely unheated home in the middle of winter, for example.
+
+The challenge lies in that some thermometers—especially battery-operated ones—only send temperature updates when the value changes. It is entirely possible to receive no temperature updates for hours without the thermometer failing. The parameters below allow fine-tuning of the thresholds for activating Safety Mode.

+If your thermometer has a `last seen` attribute indicating the last contact time, you can specify it in the _VTherm_'s main attributes to greatly reduce false Safety Mode activations. See [configuration](base-attributes.md#choosing-base-attributes) and [troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md#why-does-my-versatile-thermostat-switch-to-safety-mode).
+
+For `over_climate` _VTherms_, which self-regulate, Safety Mode is disabled. In this case, there is no danger, only the risk of an incorrect temperature.
+
+## Advanced Settings
+
+The advanced configuration form looks like this:
+
+![image](images/config-advanced.png)
+
+### Minimum Activation Delay
+
+The first delay (`minimal_activation_delay_sec`) in seconds is the minimum acceptable delay to turn on the heating. If the calculated activation time is shorter than this value, the heating remains off. This parameter only applies to _VTherm_ with cyclic triggering `over_switch`. If the activation time is too short, rapid switching will not allow the device to heat up properly.
+
+### Safety Mode
+
+The second delay (`security_delay_min`) is the maximum time between two temperature measurements before the _VTherm_ switches to Safety Mode.
+
+The third parameter (`security_min_on_percent`) is the minimum `on_percent` below which Safety Mode will not be activated. This setting prevents activating Safety Mode if the controlled radiator does not heat sufficiently. In this case, there is no physical risk to the home, only the risk of overheating or underheating.
+Setting this parameter to `0.00` will trigger Safety Mode regardless of the last heating setting, whereas `1.00` will never trigger Safety Mode (effectively disabling the feature). This can be useful to adapt the safety mechanism to your specific needs.
+
+The fourth parameter (`security_default_on_percent`) defines the `on_percent` used when the thermostat switches to `security` mode. Setting it to `0` will turn off the thermostat in Safety Mode, while setting it to a value like `0.2` (20%) ensures some heating remains, avoiding a completely frozen home in case of a thermometer failure.
+
+It is possible to disable Safety Mode triggered by missing data from the outdoor thermometer. Since the outdoor thermometer usually has a minor impact on regulation (depending on your configuration), it might not be critical if it's unavailable. To do this, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+versatile_thermostat:
+...
+    safety_mode:
+        check_outdoor_sensor: false
+```
+
+By default, the outdoor thermometer can trigger Safety Mode if it stops sending data. Remember that Home Assistant must be restarted for these changes to take effect. This setting applies to all _VTherms_ sharing the outdoor thermometer.
+
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+> 1. When the temperature sensor resumes reporting, the preset will be restored to its previous value.
+> 2. Two temperature sources are required: the indoor and outdoor temperatures. Both must report values, or the thermostat will switch to "security" preset.
+> 3. An action is available to adjust the three safety parameters. This can help adapt Safety Mode to your needs.
+> 4. For normal use, `security_default_on_percent` should be lower than `security_min_on_percent`.
+> 5. If you use the Versatile Thermostat UI card (see [here](additions.md#better-with-the-versatile-thermostat-ui-card)), a _VTherm_ in Safety Mode is indicated by a gray overlay showing the faulty thermometer and the time since its last value update: ![safety mode](images/safety-mode-icon.png).

+- [Auto-start / Auto-stop](#auto-start--auto-stop)
+  - [Configure Auto-start/stop](#configure-auto-startstop)
+  - [Usage](#usage)
+
+This feature allows _VTherm_ to stop an appliance that doesn't need to be on and restart it when conditions require it. This function includes three settings that control how quickly the appliance is stopped and restarted.
+Exclusively reserved for _VTherm_ of type `over_climate`, it applies to the following use case:
+1. Your appliance is permanently powered on and consumes electricity even when heating (or cooling) is not needed. This is often the case with heat pumps (_PAC_) that consume power even in standby mode.
+2. The temperature conditions are such that heating (or cooling) is not needed for a long period: the setpoint is higher (or lower) than the room temperature.
+3. The temperature rises (or falls), remains stable, or falls (or rises) slowly.
+
+In such cases, it is preferable to ask the appliance to turn off to avoid unnecessary power consumption in standby mode.
+
+## Configure Auto-start/stop
+
+To use this feature, you need to:
+1. Add the `With auto-start and stop` function in the 'Functions' menu.
+2. Set the detection level in the 'Auto-start/stop' option that appears when the function is activated. Choose the detection level between 'Slow', 'Medium', and 'Fast'. With the 'Fast' setting, stops and restarts will occur more frequently.
+
+![image](images/config-auto-start-stop.png)
+
+The 'Slow' setting allows about 30 minutes between a stop and a restart,
+The 'Medium' setting sets the threshold to about 15 minutes, and the 'Fast' setting puts it at 7 minutes.
+
+Note that these are not absolute settings since the algorithm takes into account the slope of the room temperature curve to respond accordingly. It is still possible that a restart occurs shortly after a stop if the temperature drops significantly.
+
+## Usage
+
+Once the function is configured, you will now have a new `switch` type entity that allows you to enable or disable auto-start/stop without modifying the configuration. This entity is available on the _VTherm_ device and is named `switch.<name>_enable_auto_start_stop`.
+
+![image](images/enable-auto-start-stop-entity.png)
+
+Check the box to allow auto-start and auto-stop, and leave it unchecked to disable the feature.
+
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+> 1. The detection algorithm is described [here](algorithms.md#auto-startstop-algorithm).
+> 2. Some appliances (boilers, underfloor heating, _PAC_, etc.) may not like being started/stopped too frequently. If that's the case, it might be better to disable the function when you know the appliance will be used. For example, I disable this feature during the day when presence is detected because I know my _PAC_ will turn on often. I enable auto-start/stop at night or when no one is home, as the setpoint is lowered and it rarely triggers.
+> 3. If you use the Versatile Thermostat UI card (see [here](additions.md#better-with-the-versatile-thermostat-ui-card)), a checkbox is directly visible on the card to disable auto-start/stop, and a _VTherm_ stopped by auto-start/stop is indicated by the icon: ![auto-start/stop icon](images/auto-start-stop-icon.png).

+  - [Events](#events)
+  - [Warning](#warning)
+
+You can control a centralized boiler. As long as it's possible to trigger or stop the boiler from Home Assistant, Versatile Thermostat will be able to control it directly.
+
+## Principle
+The basic principle is as follows:
+1. A new entity of type `binary_sensor`, named by default `binary_sensor.central_boiler`, is added.
+2. In the configuration of the _VTherms_, you specify whether the _VTherm_ should control the boiler. In a heterogeneous installation, some _VTherms_ should control the boiler, and others should not. Therefore, you need to indicate in each _VTherm_ configuration whether it controls the boiler.
+3. The `binary_sensor.central_boiler` listens for state changes in the equipment of the _VTherms_ marked as controlling the boiler.
+4. When the number of devices controlled by the _VTherm_ requesting heating (i.e., when its `hvac_action` changes to `Heating`) exceeds a configurable threshold, the `binary_sensor.central_boiler` turns `on`, and **if an activation service has been configured, that service is called**.
+5. If the number of devices requesting heating drops below the threshold, the `binary_sensor.central_boiler` turns `off`, and **if a deactivation service has been configured, that service is called**.
+6. You have access to two entities:
+   - A `number` type entity, named by default `number.boiler_activation_threshold`, which gives the activation threshold. This threshold is the number of devices (radiators) requesting heating.
+   - A `sensor` type entity, named by default `sensor.nb_device_active_for_boiler`, which shows the number of devices requesting heating. For example, a _VTherm_ with 4 valves, 3 of which request heating, will make this sensor show 3. Only the devices from _VTherms_ marked to control the central boiler are counted.
+
+You therefore always have the information to manage and adjust the triggering of the boiler.
+
+All these entities are linked to the central configuration service:
+
+![Boiler Control Entities](images/entitites-central-boiler.png)
+
+## Configuration
+To configure this feature, you need a centralized configuration (see [Configuration](#configuration)) and check the 'Add Central Boiler' box:
+
+![Add a Central Boiler](images/config-central-boiler-1.png)
+
+On the next page, you can provide the configuration for the actions (e.g., services) to be called when the boiler is turned on/off:
+
+![Add a Central Boiler](images/config-central-boiler-2.png)
+
+The actions (e.g., services) are configured as described on the page:
+1. The general format is `entity_id/service_id[/attribute:value]` (where `/attribute:value` is optional).
+2. `entity_id` is the name of the entity controlling the boiler in the form `domain.entity_name`. For example: `switch.chaudiere` for a boiler controlled by a switch, or `climate.chaudière` for a boiler controlled by a thermostat, or any other entity that allows boiler control (there is no limitation). You can also toggle inputs (`helpers`) such as `input_boolean` or `input_number`.
+3. `service_id` is the name of the service to be called in the form `domain.service_name`. For example: `switch.turn_on`, `switch.turn_off`, `climate.set_temperature`, `climate.set_hvac_mode` are valid examples.
+4. Some services require a parameter. This could be the 'HVAC Mode' for `climate.set_hvac_mode` or the target temperature for `climate.set_temperature`. This parameter should be configured in the format `attribute:value` at the end of the string.
+
+Examples (to adjust to your case):
+- `climate.chaudiere/climate.set_hvac_mode/hvac_mode:heat`: to turn the boiler thermostat on in heating mode.
+- `climate.chaudiere/climate.set_hvac_mode/hvac_mode:off`: to turn off the boiler thermostat.
+- `switch.pompe_chaudiere/switch.turn_on`: to turn on the switch powering the boiler pump.
+- `switch.pompe_chaudiere/switch.turn_off`: to turn off the switch powering the boiler pump.
+- ...
+
+### How to Find the Right Action?
+To find the correct action to use, it's best to go to "Developer Tools / Services", search for the action to call, the entity to control, and any required parameters.
+Click 'Call Service'. If your boiler turns on, you have the correct configuration. Then switch to YAML mode and copy the parameters.
+
+Example:
+
+In "Developer Tools / Actions":
+
+![Service Configuration](images/dev-tools-turnon-boiler-1.png)
+
+In YAML mode:
+
+![Service Configuration](images/dev-tools-turnon-boiler-2.png)
+
+The service to configure will then be: `climate.sonoff/climate.set_hvac_mode/hvac_mode:heat` (note the removal of spaces in `hvac_mode:heat`).
+
+Do the same for the off service, and you’re ready to go.
+
+## Events
+
+Each successful boiler activation or deactivation sends an event from Versatile Thermostat. This can be captured by an automation, for example, to notify you of the change.
+The events look like this:
+
+An activation event:
+```yaml

+## Warning
+
+> ![Astuce](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+>
+> Software or home automation control of a central boiler may pose risks to its proper operation. Before using these functions, ensure that your boiler has proper safety features and that they are functioning correctly. For example, turning on a boiler with all valves closed can create excessive pressure.

+# Centralized Control

+  - [Configuration of Centralized Control](#configuration-of-centralized-control)
+  - [Usage](#usage)
+
+This feature allows you to control all your _VTherms_ from a single control point.
+A typical use case is when you leave for an extended period and want to set all your _VTherms_ to frost protection, and when you return, you want to set them back to their initial state.
+
+Centralized control is done from a special _VTherm_ called centralized configuration. See [here](creation.md#centralized-configuration) for more information.
+
+## Configuration of Centralized Control
+
+If you have set up a centralized configuration, you will have a new entity named `select.central_mode` that allows you to control all _VTherms_ with a single action.
+
+![central_mode](images/central-mode.png)
+
+This entity appears as a list of choices containing the following options:
+1. `Auto`: the 'normal' mode where each _VTherm_ operates autonomously,
+2. `Stopped`: all _VTherms_ are turned off (`hvac_off`),
+3. `Heat only`: all _VTherms_ are set to heating mode if supported, otherwise they are stopped,
+4. `Cool only`: all _VTherms_ are set to cooling mode if supported, otherwise they are stopped,
+5. `Frost protection`: all _VTherms_ are set to frost protection mode if supported, otherwise they are stopped.
+
+## Usage
+
+For a _VTherm_ to be controllable centrally, its configuration attribute named `use_central_mode` must be true. This attribute is available in the configuration page `Main Attributes`.
+
+![central_mode](images/use-central-mode.png)
+
+This means you can control all _VTherms_ (those explicitly designated) with a single control.

+  - [Usage](#usage)
+
+This feature allows you to change presets when motion is detected in a room. If you don't want to heat your office when the room is occupied and only when the room is occupied, you need a motion (or presence) sensor in the room and configure this feature.
+
+This function is often confused with the presence feature. They are complementary but not interchangeable. The 'motion' function is local to a room equipped with a motion sensor, while the 'presence' function is designed to be global to the entire home.
+
+## Configure Activity Mode or Motion Detection
+
+If you have chosen the `With motion detection` feature:
+
+![image](images/config-motion.png)
+
+What we need:
+- a **motion sensor**. Entity ID of a motion sensor. The states of the motion sensor must be "on" (motion detected) or "off" (no motion detected),
+- a **detection delay** (in seconds) defining how long we wait for confirmation of the motion before considering the motion. This parameter can be **greater than your motion sensor's delay**, otherwise, the detection will happen with every motion detected by the sensor,
+- an **inactivity delay** (in seconds) defining how long we wait for confirmation of no motion before no longer considering the motion,
+- a **"motion" preset**. We will use the temperature of this preset when activity is detected,
+- a **"no motion" preset**. We will use the temperature of this second preset when no activity is detected.
+
+## Usage
+
+To tell a _VTherm_ that it should listen to the motion sensor, you must set it to the special 'Activity' preset. If you have installed the Versatile Thermostat UI card (see [here](additions.md#much-better-with-the-versatile-thermostat-ui-card)), this preset is displayed as follows: ![activity preset](images/activity-preset-icon.png).
+
+You can then, upon request, set a _VTherm_ to motion detection mode.
+
+The behavior will be as follows:
+- we have a room with a thermostat set to activity mode, the "motion" mode chosen is comfort (21.5°C), the "no motion" mode chosen is Eco (18.5°C), and the motion delay is 30 seconds on detection and 5 minutes on the end of detection.
+- the room has been empty for a while (no activity detected), the setpoint temperature in this room is 18.5°.
+- someone enters the room, and activity is detected if the motion is present for at least 30 seconds. The temperature then goes up to 21.5°.
+- if the motion is present for less than 30 seconds (quick passage), the temperature stays at 18.5°.
+- imagine the temperature has gone up to 21.5°, when the person leaves the room, after 5 minutes the temperature is returned to 18.5°.
+- if the person returns before the 5 minutes, the temperature stays at 21.5°.
+
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+> 1. As with other presets, `Activity` will only be offered if it is correctly configured. In other words, all 4 configuration keys must be set.
+> 2. If you are using the Versatile Thermostat UI card (see [here](additions.md#much-better-with-the-versatile-thermostat-ui-card)), motion detection is represented as follows: ![motion](images/motion-detection-icon.png).

+- [Power Management - Load Shedding](#power-management---load-shedding)
+  - [Configure Power Management](#configure-power-management)
+
+This feature allows you to regulate the electricity consumption of your heaters. Known as load shedding, this feature enables you to limit the electrical consumption of your heating device if overcapacity conditions are detected.
+You will need a **sensor for the total instantaneous power consumption** of your home, as well as a **sensor for the maximum allowed power**.
+
+The behavior of this feature is basic:
+1. when the _VTherm_ is about to turn on a device,
+2. it compares the last known value of the power consumption sensor with the last value of the maximum allowed power. If there is a remaining margin greater than or equal to the declared power of the _VTherm_'s devices, then the _VTherm_ and its devices will be turned on. Otherwise, they will remain off until the next cycle.
+
+WARNING: This very basic operation **is not a safety function** but more of an optimization feature to manage consumption at the cost of heating performance. Overloads may occur depending on the frequency of updates from your consumption sensors, and the actual power used by your devices. Therefore, you must always maintain a safety margin.
+
+Typical use case:
+1. you have an electricity meter limited to 11 kW,
+2. you occasionally charge an electric vehicle at 5 kW,
+3. that leaves 6 kW for everything else, including heating,
+4. you have 1 kW of other equipment running,
+5. you have declared a sensor (`input_number`) for the maximum allowed power at 9 kW (= 11 kW - the reserve for other devices - margin)
+
+If the vehicle is charging, the total power consumed is 6 kW (5+1), and a _VTherm_ will only turn on if its declared power is 3 kW max (9 kW - 6 kW).
+If the vehicle is charging and another _VTherm_ of 2 kW is running, the total power consumed is 8 kW (5+1+2), and a _VTherm_ will only turn on if its declared power is 1 kW max (9 kW - 8 kW). Otherwise, it will wait until the next cycle.
+
+If the vehicle is not charging, the total power consumed is 1 kW, and a _VTherm_ will only turn on if its declared power is 8 kW max (9 kW - 1 kW).
+
+## Configure Power Management
+
+If you have chosen the `With power detection` feature, configure it as follows:
+
+![image](images/config-power.png)
+
+1. the entity ID of the **instantaneous power consumption sensor** for your home,
+2. the entity ID of the **maximum allowed power sensor**,
+3. the temperature to apply if load shedding is activated.
+
+Note that all power values must have the same units (kW or W, for example).
+Having a **maximum allowed power sensor** allows you to adjust the maximum power over time using a scheduler or automation.
+
+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+>
+> 1. In case of load shedding, the radiator is set to the preset named `power`. This is a hidden preset, and you cannot select it manually.
+> 2. Always keep a margin, as the maximum power may briefly be exceeded while waiting for the next cycle calculation, or due to unregulated equipment.
+> 3. If you don't want to use this feature, uncheck it in the 'Functions' menu.
+> 4. If a _VTherm_ controls multiple devices, the **electrical consumption of your heating** must match the sum of the powers.
+> 5. If you are using the Versatile Thermostat UI card (see [here](additions.md#much-better-with-the-versatile-thermostat-ui-card)), load shedding is represented as follows: ![load shedding](images/power-exceeded-icon.png).

+
+The preset mode allows you to pre-configure the target temperature. Used in conjunction with Scheduler (see [scheduler](additions#the-scheduler-component)), you'll have a powerful and simple way to optimize the temperature relative to the electricity consumption in your home. The managed presets are as follows:
+ - **Eco**: the device is in energy-saving mode
+ - **Comfort**: the device is in comfort mode
+ - **Boost**: the device fully opens all valves
+
+If the AC mode is used, you can also configure temperatures when the equipment is in air conditioning mode.
+
+**None** is always added to the list of modes, as it is a way to not use presets but instead set a **manual temperature**.
+
+The presets are configured directly from the _VTherm_ entities or the central configuration if you're using centralized control. Upon creating the _VTherm_, you will have different entities that will allow you to set the temperatures for each preset:
+
+![presets](images/config-preset-temp.png).
+
+The list of entities varies depending on your feature choices:
+1. If the 'presence detection' function is activated, you will have the presets with an "absence" version prefixed with _abs_.
+2. If you have selected the _AC_ option, you will also have presets for 'air conditioning' prefixed with _clim_.
+

Versatile Thermostat uses presence management or motion detection to automatically and dynamically adjust the target temperature based on presence in the home or activity in the room. See [presence management](feature-presence.md).
+> 3. If you're using load shedding management, you will see a hidden preset named `power`. The heating element's preset is set to "power" when overload conditions are met and load shedding is active for that heating element. See [power management](feature-power.md).

+Open detection can be done in two ways:
+1. By using a sensor placed on the opening (sensor mode),
+2. By detecting a sudden temperature drop (auto mode)
+
+## Sensor Mode
+To switch to sensor mode, you need to provide an entity of type `binary_sensor` or `input_boolean`.
+In this mode, you need to fill in the following information:
+
+![mode window sensor](images/config-window-sensor.png)
+
+1. A **delay in seconds** before any change. This allows you to open a window quickly without stopping the heating.
+2. The action to take when the opening is detected as open. The possible actions are:
+   1. _Turn off_: the _VTherm_ will be turned off.
+   2. _Fan only_: heating or cooling will be turned off, but the equipment will continue to ventilate (for compatible equipment).
+   3. _Frost protection_: the "Frost Protection" preset temperature will be selected on the _VTherm_ without changing the current preset (see notes below).
+   4. _Eco_: the "Eco" preset temperature will be applied to the _VTherm_ without changing the current preset (see notes below).
+
+When the detector switches to open:
+1. _VTherm_ waits for the specified delay.
+2. If the window is still open after the delay, the _VTherm_ state (Heating / Cooling / ..., current preset, current target temperature) is saved and the action is performed.
+
+Similarly, when the detector switches to closed:
+1. _VTherm_ waits for the specified delay.
+2. If the window is still closed after the delay, the state before the window opening is restored.
+
+## Auto Mode
+In auto mode, the configuration is as follows:
+
+![image](images/config-window-auto.png)
+
+1. A **delay in seconds** before any change. This allows you to open a window quickly without stopping the heating.
+2. A detection threshold in degrees per hour. When the temperature drops beyond this threshold, the thermostat will turn off. The lower this value, the faster the detection (with a higher risk of false positives).
+3. A threshold for ending detection in degrees per hour. When the temperature drop exceeds this value, the thermostat will return to the previous mode (mode and preset).
+4. A maximum detection duration. Beyond this duration, the thermostat will return to its previous mode and preset even if the temperature continues to drop.
+5. The action to take when the opening is detected as open. The actions are the same as in sensor mode described above.
+
+To adjust the thresholds, it is recommended to start with the reference values and adjust the detection thresholds. Some tests gave me the following values (for an office):
+- Detection threshold: 3°C/hour
+- No detection threshold: 0°C/hour
+- Max duration: 30 min.
+
+A new sensor called "slope" has been added for all thermostats. It provides the slope of the temperature curve in °C/hour (or °K/hour). This slope is smoothed and filtered to avoid aberrant thermometer values that could interfere with the measurement.

+
+To adjust it properly, it is recommended to display both the temperature curve and the slope of the curve ("slope") on the same historical graph:

+> ![Tip](images/tips.png) _*Notes*_
+>
+> 1. If you want to use **multiple door/window sensors** to automate your thermostat, simply create a group with the usual behavior (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/binary_sensor.group/)
+> 2. If you don't have a door/window sensor in your room, simply leave the sensor entity ID empty.
+> 3. **Only one mode is allowed**. You cannot configure a thermostat with both a sensor and auto detection. The two modes might contradict each other, so both modes cannot be active at the same time.
+> 4. It is not recommended to use auto mode for equipment subjected to frequent and normal temperature variations (hallways, open areas, etc.).
+> 5. To avoid interfering with your current preset settings, the actions _Frost protection_ and _Eco_ change the target temperature without changing the preset. So, you may notice a discrepancy between the selected preset and the setpoint.
+> 6. If you use the Versatile Thermostat UI card (see [here](additions.md#even-better-with-the-versatile-thermostat-ui-card)), open detection is represented as follows: ![window](images/window-detection-icon.png).
