Made a concept for what a revamp to the config could look like #812

This isn't really an issue so feel free to close

One of the annoying things about Adaptive Lighting is that it's constrained to the integration configuration. This makes it hard to configure, as it's very lengthy, not easy to get around, and hard to understand sometimes. I made a concept that tries to make it easier to understand the config options and to have multiple configs with the same settings. Of course this would require extra backend and frontend code to have a separate config panel. There are probably a number of other flaws with this concept - it's just an idea though. image image

This is very cool indeed! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to come up with this.

I don't know such a layout is currently possible in HA and I think graphs (or any images) are also not possible. Otherwise, the proposed options and headers should be possible.

At the very least it shows that certain parameters can be renamed to something more clear (e.g., I really like "Auto-disable").
