Tado Per-User Geolocation in dzVents

Hi

I've been learning dzVents and also learning more about the Tado heating API.

One of the limitations of the Tado heating system is that the geolocation detects either ALL users being away, or ANY user being home. It can't turn on/off heating zones for individual users (although Tado have promised that, it has yet to appear).

I've created some scripts that allow a bit more granular control - the ability to notice when specific users are away and turn their heating zones down until they come home.

This is very much a v1.0, but I thought I'd share it with you in the hopes it's useful and perhaps seek some assistance in refining it further.

The scripts also implement a lot of the basic controls and capabilities required to interact with Tado - authenticating, obtaining current status, setting modes and parameters, etc.

See the README.md for more information and instructions, and I'd welcome your input and feedback.

Thanks

Nice job.

Is it possible to add functionality to show the distance from home and calculate possible travel time (car) to home? I understand it's not the main function, but I can always ask :)

The Tado API does return a "relative distance from home" as a decimal. Not sure what it equates to though...
