feat: improve presence simulation with staggered lighting and realistic behavior

- Replace simultaneous light activation with sequential (staggered) control
- Add per-light random delays for more natural behavior
- Implement reverse-order light shutdown for realism
- Introduce time-based variations (morning, midday, evening)
- Add randomized music playback using Spotify playlist on Sonos
- Refactor automation using repeat loops and variables for maintainability
