alexei.dolgolyov fafcf116be feat: add Presence Scene Controller and Time Of Day Selector blueprints

- Presence Scene Controller: per-room presence-aware time-of-day scenes
  with vacant/sleep scenes and Motion Light coexistence
- Time Of Day Selector: event-driven state machine that sets an
  input_select when a configured time entity fires
- List both blueprints in the root README
- Bump version to 2.13.0

Time of Day Selector Blueprint

Event-driven blueprint that updates an input_select based on a list of time triggers. Each trigger entity is mapped to a state name; when the trigger fires, the matching state becomes active.

This is a sibling to the Time Of Day Controller blueprint, which uses minute-by-minute polling and threshold comparison. Use this one when you want exact event-based firing and the ability to attach multiple trigger sources (e.g. a sun event or a manual forced time) to the same state.

How It Works

Define a list of time triggers — input_datetime helpers and/or timestamp sensors such as sensor.sun_next_rising / sensor.sun_next_dusk / sensor.sun_next_midnight.
Define a parallel list of state names — one per trigger, in the same order.
When any trigger fires, the blueprint looks up the firing entity in the trigger list and selects the matching state name on the target input_select.
Duplicate state names produce OR-override behavior: whichever associated trigger fires first wins.

Index Mapping

The two lists are matched by position:

Index	Trigger entity	State name
0	`sensor.sun_next_rising`	`Утро`
1	`input_datetime.dnevnoe_vremia`	`День`
2	`sensor.sun_next_dusk`	`Вечер`
3	`input_datetime.vechernee_vremia_prinuditelno`	`Вечер`
4	`sensor.sun_next_midnight`	`Ночь`
5	`input_datetime.polnochnoe_vremia_prinuditelno`	`Ночь`

In this example, Вечер is set when either the natural dusk time or the forced datetime fires — whichever comes first.

Supported Time Sources

input_datetime entities (time-only: HH:MM:SS).
Timestamp sensors that report an ISO datetime (e.g. sensor.sun_next_rising).

Configuration

Input	Description
Time of Day Selector	The `input_select` entity to update. Its options must include every state name in the list below.
Time of Day Triggers	Ordered list of trigger entities.
Time of Day States	Parallel list of state names, same length as triggers.
Debug mode	When enabled, posts a persistent notification on each fire with the firing entity, resolved state, and previous state.

Behavioral Notes

input_select.select_option is idempotent — repeated triggers for the same state cause no extra state changes.
A guard condition skips the action if the resolved state already matches the current input_select value.
On Home Assistant restart, the state is not retroactively corrected — it updates on the next trigger. If you need self-correcting state on restart, use the Time Of Day Controller (polling) blueprint instead.
