add preset_mode(s) support

[pejotigrek]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use Simple Thermostat lovelace card to control my Nest thermostat. I've noticed that depending on what integration I use [I don't like all changes made into the built-in (let's call it BI) HomeAssistant Nest integration, so I am planning to switch to this one - Homebridge-Nest (let's call it HB)] some options differ and some of the functionality is cut down.

in (BI) there is an attribute: preset_modes, which displays all modes understood and available in Nest Thermostat - none, away, eco, Away and Eco (at least my Nest shows that), and also attribute preset_mode, displaying the currently used mode. those both attributes are used by mentioned card [configurable with names, icons etc.] to display some buttons [for mode notification but also working as mode changing button], as shown below [last row of buttons]:

in (HB) there are no attributes that reflect preset mode(s), so it is impossible to see the actual mode or to change one by hand:

Describe the solution you'd like I'd love to see those two attributes working in Homebridge-nest integration - they partially look like a combination of other attributes already working in integration, so maybe it won't be a big deal to add them. but also I am not a programmer, so my maybe can be waaay too optimistic ;)

Describe alternatives you've considered in a desperate idea I was thinking about playing with template thermostat in HomeAssistant, but I'm not so sure if it will add those parameters and also I didn't want to make "a thermostat inside a thermostat" ;)

can we remove the stale label and at least consider the idea? ;)

Also relevant to me, would prefer not seeing this closed to staleness.

@pejotigrek are you able to as the issue author add a label to this issue or do we need the repo owner to do so?

Looks like the pin label might opt it out of the staleness loop: https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest/blob/master/.github/workflows/stale.yml#L25

exempt-issue-labels: 'pin'

For Home Assistant users, I've found a workaround for one of the directions here. I am able to set specific preset modes by making a call to the google_assistant_sdk's send_text_command service with content such as { "command": "Set my thermostats to comfort" }. Still not ideal for an interface, but at least works for most of my automation needs.

unfortunately I don't see any option to add the label, so it probably is repo-owner-only setting :(

@pejotigrek thank you for keeping the issue alive.

Another note, in case it's helpful to you as well. I recently added my Nest Thermostat via Matter to Home Assisstant and it works great! Has all the support I was looking for.

I have a few other reasons to still need homebridge-nest but they're outside the scope of this issue (and unfortunately are impeded by the auth issue).

Nevermind, confused Heat/Mode with the different Eco/Comfort/etc. Sorry for the noise.

[pejotigrek]

@SaladFork I'm doing my best ;) but it seems like my struggle is useless ;(
