⚠️ Breaking change :

1. because the power management is now centralized, you should have a central configuration with the power feature activated and configured,
2. the non-central power sensor parameters are removed,
3. a delay of 20 sec is possible between the last power measurement is received and the load-shedding run.

In case of power exceeded, Versatile Thermostat will now do shedding for all the VTherm with power management activated. It will set to overpowering VTherms at first with the one which current temperature is near the target temperature, until the power is reach.

If power comes available, the un-overpowering is done in reverse order (the more far away for the target first).
Regularly, the active Vtherm may change following the preceding rules.

To add debug logs you should add this lines into your logger.yaml:

custom_components.versatile_thermostat.feature_power_manager: debug
custom_components.versatile_thermostat.central_feature_power_manager: debug

7.1.0.beta3

Fix overpowering is set even if other heater have on_percent = 0

Fix too much shedding in over_climate

Add logs

Add temporal filter for calculate_shedding

Fix restore overpowering_state

What's Changed

• implementation of the #766 issue - enhance the power management

See in the issue what have been done.

⚠️ Breaking change :

1. because the power management is now centralized, you should have a central configuration with the power feature activated and configured,
2. the non central power sensor parameters are still there but no more used (will be remove for the release).
