---

#739 have a big impact on code:

• Add a Presence Feature manager
• Add a Power Feature manager
• Add a Window Feature manager
• Add Auto-start/stop feature manager
• Add safety feature manager
• Update documentation and release
• Use python 3.13 as required by HA now

This will allow clarification and increase maintainability and testability of the integration. Further PR done by community should be easier to implement and to test.

Notes:

1. You have to update the VTherm UI Card to release 1.1.0: https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile-thermostat-ui-card/releases/tag/1.1.0
2. Until the window/presence/power/... is not evaluated it is considered as state UNKNOWN,
3. All states that end with _states are now states ('on', 'off', 'unknown', 'unavailable') and not boolean,
4. no functional improvements have been done. This release is only a technical release.
