Let Home Assistant automations switch Auto standby per screen, and teach the skill (0.2.48)

Browse Source 
App 0.2.48 / firmware 0.2.41:
- Both boards expose the switch "Auto standby", the same standby_enabled setting as the checkbox
  in ESP Screens. Off wakes a dimmed screen and keeps it on; on counts the standby time from that
  moment. The change is saved on the screen and reported through esphome.screen_setting, so ESP
  Screens stores it too. No action runs at boot (restore_mode DISABLED).
- The Claude skill gains "Standby and brightness": the switch, Standby after and the three
  brightness numbers, with an example automation that keeps screens awake while someone is home
  and a light is on or a window is open.
- EASY_SETUP and the README describe the entities and the automation.

Tested through Home Assistant's API on both bench boards (CYD: dimmed -> off wakes in 1.1 s, stays
bright past the standby time, on dims again after 61 s); see docs/TEST_RESULTS_0248.md, which also
records a CYD rollback after the first OTA that points to memory headroom, not to this change.

Home Assistant shows the same settings on each screen's ESPHome device: the switch
**Auto standby** (firmware 0.2.41+) and the numbers **Standby after**, **Normal brightness**,
**Standby brightness** and **Night brightness**. Changing them there, for example from an
automation, also changes them in ESP Screens and keeps them after a restart. Turning Auto
standby off wakes the screen and keeps it on; turning it on counts the standby time from
that moment. To keep a screen on while someone is home and a light is on:
```yaml
alias: Keep the kitchen screen awake
mode: restart
triggers:
- trigger: state
entity_id: [person.alex, light.living_room]
actions:
- if:
- condition: state
entity_id: person.alex
state: home
- condition: state
entity_id: light.living_room
state: "on"
then:
- action: switch.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.kitchen_screen_auto_standby
else:
- action: switch.turn_on
target:
entity_id: switch.kitchen_screen_auto_standby
```
Every change is saved on the screen, so switch on changes that happen a few times a day,
not on every motion. ESP Screens → Settings → Claude installs a skill that writes such
automations for you.
Night hours use the ESPHome device's timezone and the time from HA.
Without a valid time, the screen uses the regular standby brightness; matching
start and end times turn the night window off. At 0%, only the
