New Velbus binding

[MDAR (Stuart Hanlon, UK importer of Velbus hardware)]

@MDAR

If anyone is feeling adventurous and generous, would you mind trying to create an Items file from the template in this ZIP file
Then letting me / us know if it plays nicely with Alexa?

With the fabulous assistance of @jeshab the Alexa Skill can now set BOTH the Velbus Operating Mode and the “Presets” for that mode, or as Velbus refers to them, the thermostat modes.

Be aware that the voice instruction do have to be extremely precise.

As an example

@jeshab

Alexa, set the back bedroom to heat
Alexa, set the back bedroom to cool
Alexa, set the back bedroom preset to safe
Alexa, set the back bedroom preset to night
Alexa, set the back bedroom preset to day
Alexa, set the back bedroom preset to comfort
Alexa, what’s the back bedroom set to?
Alexa, set the back bedroom 20 degrees
Alexa, set the back bedroom up 5 degrees
Alexa, set the back bedroom down 5 degrees
Alexa, what’s the back bedroom preset set to?

I’ve updated the Items template in the ZIP
