Feature request: use motion sensors instead of occupancy sensors #218

Thanks for the great plugin, it works reliably for me and I'd like to make an improvement suggestion. When configuring it for both eve and home app, it current exposes the following occupation sensors: "The following values will be represented as occupancy sensors that trigger on specific limits: CloudCover > 20%, UVIndex > 2, WindSpeed > 4 m/s, Rain, Snow" It would be nice to allow user to specify another type of binary sensor such as motion sensor instead. The reason is when Home send notification it doesn't include occupancy sensor name, but if they're exposed as motion sensors HomeKit will send notification with sensor name which in my opinion much more convenient.

Thank you for considering it!

Im in agreement here. For some reason my weather sensors are split between occupancy and motion, which make it a little awkward. Ideally, would love them to all sit underneath the climate grouping.
