[Feature] Make Vacation period ("Urlaub" in german app) available

[ghenzler]

The app provides the functionality to set a period for a vacation time... during this time the power consumption is the lowest possible (even better than when on standby for some reason, measured it with a shelly). It's a simple setting of start date and end date in the APP (my experience shows that it's heating up during end date already to ensure a warm house after vacation).

I think this should be fairly easy to implement as it is just setting two dates (maybe via home assistant service call?).

This seems doable. Will look at the API to see.

Interesting, I wonder where the difference in power consumption comes from, also interesting to see the HP starts warming before the holiday period ends. I was thinking putting the HP in standby was the easiest solution and (significantly) lowering the warmwater and room setpoint temperatures as an alternative with more flexibility, for example during winter I would not want to reduce temperatures too much to avoid condensation, and it might take my floor heating multiple days to get the house warm again.
