[BUG]: ZG-205Z (_TZE204_dapwryy7) presence state becomes 'unknown' after updating to 2.6.1-1

What happened?

Description

After updating Zigbee2MQTT from version 2.6.0-1 to 2.6.1-1, my Tuya ZG-205Z presence sensor (manufacturer _TZE204_dapwryy7) stopped correctly reporting the presence state in Home Assistant.

The binary_sensor.kabinet_rux_presence entity consistently shows unknown. Other values, such as target_distance and illuminance, are working without issues.

Crucially, the problem disappeared after reverting back to version 2.6.0-1. This confirms that the bug was introduced in version 2.6.1-1.

Expected behavior

The sensor should correctly switch the state of binary_sensor.kabinet_rux_presence between on and off upon detecting presence. This functionality worked correctly on the previous version.

Steps to reproduce

1. Update Zigbee2MQTT from version 2.6.0-1 to 2.6.1-1.
2. Ensure the Tuya ZG-205Z device (model _TZE204_dapwryy7) is connected.
3. Check the state of the binary_sensor.kabinet_rux_presence entity in Home Assistant, which will remain unknown.

Device and environment information

• Zigbee2MQTT version: 2.6.1-1 (the version where the issue occurs)
• Device Model: ZG-205Z
• Device Vendor: Tuya
• Device Description: 5.8 GHz human presence sensor
• Manufacturer: _TZE204_dapwryy7

The binary_sensor.kabinet_rux_presence entity consistently shows unknown

Is there now a binary_sensor.kabinet_rux_occupancy with 2.6.1-1?

I imagine this issue is related to this pull request, which corrected the semantics expected by Home Assistant around the term "presence" vs. "occupancy".

Im getting my whole stack unavailable every few minutes since this update. As if it was unplugging the dongle from the server

Pushed a fix for this

Changes will be available in the dev branch in a few hours from now and in the next release which is every 1st of the month.
