I'm trying to:
Turn the heating preset to comfort when motion. Detected in the room

And I expect:
I expect when motion detected for the preset to change to comfort and the target temperature to be set to the comfort temperature 20

But I observe this ....
Motion is detected but the preset and target temperature do not update

I read the documentation on the README.md file and I don't find any relevant information about this issue.

## Debug log

No related warming or error indicated in log

Hello @williamka,

Thank you for your report. The motion detection and switch preset is working on my env because I use it every day. So we will have to find what is wrong in your case.

If I understand well, you have a VTherm over_valve, the Vtherm is heating hvac_mode: heat, the motion is on motion_sensor_entity_id: binary_sensor.eve_motion_20eby9901_occupancy, motion_state: "on" but the preset 'Comfort' should be selected and is not. I see you have a central configuration.

First, we will check the configuration: Can you please, post me the motion configuration of the central config and the motion configuration of the VTherm ? Screen copy should be fine. You should have:

1. the Vtherm motion configuration with a motion sensor and check the "use central configuration" and in the central configuration, you should have selected the preset with and without motion,
2. or all in the VTherm configuration itself without "use central configuration".
