Integration use cases? #32

First of all, sorry because it's not a bug It's a kind of support request... I installed the integration few months ago and it's working exactly as expected. Great job.

My problem is I cannot find real use cases for the integration other than play a bit (at least my Dinamica Plus) It's because the machine is always performing a pre-heat when I turn it on and in this operation it expel water though the coffee dispensers. due to this I cannot prepare a cup of coffee to prepare remotely my beverage. I cannot even just turn it on. Also I cannot remotelly stop it. The command don't exist even in the official application but anyway it not useful because the machine is performing a cleaning task where more water is expeled.

Can I ask about usage ideas?

Thanks a lot. And again... great engineering job Sergey.

Hi, my use case is to turn on the machine some minutes after my alarm clock. So, when I'm in front of the machine I can directly start making coffee and don't have to wait until it finish the startup process. For the expelling water we have all the time a small cup under the dispensers. That solves the water problem for us. As plus, the cups are pre warmed from the machine ;-)

Good use case @HSKonnection! I am asking my voice assistant to turn on coffee machine then I wake up. So, then I enter the kitchen all show with the warming up and washing are usually over. Also, I am planning to finish with the reverse engineering state protocol and voice coffee machine needs such as water grains or cleanup.
