Request an official Pure i9 API #6

Closed Ekman closed 1 year ago

Thanks to the great work of @Phype and his library purei9_unofficial, this integration is able to communicate with the Pure i9. It's highly appreciated work!

Even though the code works great, the challenge with using an unofficial API is that the integration can stop working at any time for no reason at all. Therefore, head over to the official Pure i9 community forum and vote for an official API. If this was provided to me then this integration would be able to reliably communicate with the Pure i9, with a significantly less risk of breaking.

Sadly, Electrolux seems to have decided to shut down its community website.

Given the number of smart appliances on the market, then having integrations to smart home systems makes a lot of sense. No one wants to have a ton of apps on their phone for each smart appliance they have. I'm deeply disappointed that they could not provide an API, but I highly appreciate @Phype work to allow us to integrate with our robot vacuum unofficially.
