Velair 1.3.0

Velair 1.3.0

Velair 1.3.0 adds Climate Profiles and Modes for adapting several zones to
changes such as being away, at home, or on vacation while preserving each
zone's default schedule.

🎉 Reaching this release is an important milestone for Velair. Climate Profiles
and Modes have been on the roadmap for some time, and the feature has been
shaped by the many community members who shared their needs, real-world
examples, and feedback throughout its design.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to explain their workflows, test early
implementations, and help refine the experience. As always, please keep sharing
your feedback, use cases, and issues: it remains one of the most valuable ways
to help Velair improve.

✨ Added

• Climate Profiles with per-zone weekly schedules and Default, Pause, or Turn
  Off behavior. Activating a Profile applies its current schedule immediately,
  cancels affected Boosts, respects global and zone pauses, and leaves omitted
  zones on their default schedules.
• Configurable Modes that atomically activate one or more non-overlapping
  Profiles. Modes are available through Velair and the native
  select.velair_mode entity for Home Assistant automations.
• Explicit Default and Manual Mode semantics. Default clears all active
  Profiles, while selecting a Profile directly replaces the active set and
  switches to Manual. Use a Mode to activate several compatible Profiles
  together.
• velair.activate_profile, velair.deactivate_profile, and
  profile_changed events for scripts and automations. An empty profile_id
  remains supported by velair.activate_profile for compatibility.
• An independent Active setup Lovelace card with controls for Modes, direct
  Profiles, or both.

🔄 Changed

• Portable exports use model V5 with separate Profile and Mode definitions. V4
  files remain importable.

🚀 Improved

• Profiles and Modes have responsive editors, color and icon previews,
  searchable icon guidance, collapsible zone configuration, visible automation
  IDs, and accessible keyboard navigation.
• Overview and Profiles share an Active setup chooser that shows the current
  Mode and every applied Profile.
• Timelines, next events, and zone labels reflect the effective Profile for each
  zone, including interaction with Preconditioning and Room Assist.
• Made Lovelace view names and ordering consistent while preserving every
  existing YAML view identifier.

🧭 Notes

• Velair cannot reliably determine whether a Profile ID is referenced by a Home
  Assistant automation, script, template, or blueprint before deletion.
• Update through HACS when possible, restart Home Assistant, and refresh the
  browser or companion app.
• Existing schedules remain the default behavior until Profiles or Modes are
  configured and activated.
