Control a climate area by a window sensor and reset it to the previous state after closing

Configuration Blueprints

I created an updated blueprint based on https://gist.github.com/sotatech/500b53ee64ca5ad5299c22cde47407ed by @sotatech for controlling a climate area by a window binary_sensor.

I added support for controlling a climate area instead of selecting the climate entities one by one, thanks @firestrife for the nice idea from Entities from area in template - #2 by firestrife
