    Advanced thermostat automation with window/door sensors, presence detection, time schedules, and holiday calendar integration.

    SETUP REQUIRED:
    1. Create an input_boolean helper (Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers > Toggle) for manual override tracking
    2. Create a timer helper (Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers > Timer) for override duration
