Milestone 1.0.0: Full hot water support and additional settings

[lukasroegner]

There have been multiple feature requests which require breaking changes to the config. That's why I want to implement a larger feature set at once. The following features will be implemented:

• Window sensors are hidden by default (areWindowSensorsHidden is removed)
• areWindowSensorsEnabled is added, which defaults to false
• isSolarIntensitySensorEnabled is added, the solar intensity is exposed as a light level sensor (#17)
• isAirQualitySensorEnabled is added, the quality is exposed as an air quality sensor (#17)
• switchToAutoInNextTimeBlock is removed in favor of setting with more features
• terminationOption is added, which can be set to auto, manual, or the number of minutes the change should last
• property zoneName is removed from the objects of the zones array as it has no functionality
• zones array is enhanced: if no array is provided, all Tado devices are exposed as thermostats. If the array is empty, all Tado devices are exposed as thermostats. If a zone is added to the array, it can overwrite the default settings (on a per-zone basis)
• If a zone is added to the zones array, the following properties can be used to overwrite the default setting
  • terminationOption (same functionality as before, however, it can overwrite the default terminationOption on a per-zone basis) is optional, it only overwrites when the property is set
  • new property isEnabled: when set, it overwrites the default setting, e.g. setting it to false results in the zone not being exposed to HomeKit (#20)
  • new property isWindowSensorEnabled: when set, it overwrites the default setting
• Rewrite of the hot water support:
  • Hot water devices are exposed as thermostats
  • Hot water devices with temperature support can change the temperature in HomeKit (#28)
  • Hot water devices without temperature support cannot change the temperature in HomeKit, a "virtual" current temperature for display in HomeKit has to be set via the config (#16, Solution 1)

Due to these heavy changes, I would like to ask you to help with testing the new features on a beta branch as soon as the beta version is available. Especially for the hot water support, I need at least one person that owns a device without temperature report and one with temperature report.

I'm very happy to test beta

Thank you very much for your hard work

How does the thermostat for the hot water switch work? For those of us without a temperature report, will we need to ask for a temperature higher than that in the config in order for this to come on? So asking Siri to “turn on hot water” will not work?

Let me know if you need a beta tester, when are you expecting to release? I see a new update today, but no changes for hot water yet?

@lukasroegner OK, scrub that, the hot water switch is now working between homekit and tado, brilliant!
