Each temperature sensor used to be its own "room", so a room with two
sensors counted twice and comfort importance was tied to sensors.
zones.py adds Zone: a name, one or more sensors with sensor weights, a
comfort weight, an optional target offset and adjacent zones (made
symmetric). Sensor weights only combine readings; comfort weights only
steer the MPC; neither touches the learned thermal coefficients.
Zones are config subentries (HA's native "Add zone" / edit / delete on
the integration page), with validation that a sensor belongs to one
zone and is not an outdoor source, and a sensor-weight step for
multi-sensor zones. Initial setup still asks for room sensors and
weights and creates one zone per sensor. Configure no longer asks for
rooms or weights.
Config entry version 3. Migrating from 2 turns each room sensor into a
one-sensor zone with its comfort weight and the sensor's entity ID as
the zone key, so learned models, forecast entities (now linked to their
zone, so deleting a zone removes them) and accuracy statistics carry
over. Older versions cannot load a version 3 entry; rolling back needs
the HA backup.
A zone learns only across polls that used the same sensors (a sensor
dropping out shifts the mean by its offset); the new poll outcome
"sensors_changed" reports this. Status renames: input_quality.zones
(per-sensor detail nested), excluded_zones, retired_zone_models; adds
zone_names. Invalid stored comfort weights now fall back to 1.0, so the
invalid_weights status is gone.

Polling only sees the relay's current state and last change, so two or
more changes between polls (e.g. an on/off round trip) made the lag
estimate unknown and paused learning for about half an hour.
Subscribe to the relay's state changes (read-only) and integrate every
recorded change between polls. Because HA delivers these events one
loop iteration late, the current state stays authoritative and fills in
a change not yet recorded. Unknown periods (non on/off states, missed
transitions, event overflow) still restart the estimate with an
explicit error bound. Without the listener, behavior is as before.
HA skips unload callbacks after unexpected setup errors, so setup now
removes the listener itself on any failure and registers it for unload
only once setup succeeds.
Tested on HA Core 2025.12.0 and 2026.2.3.
