Normalize IP address setting

[krisgesling]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. An issue I've seen reported many times over the years is that people enter their host / ip address settings in different ways and it's not clear which format should be used. For example you might enter:

• 192.168.1.100
• http://192.168.1.100
• http://192.168.1.100/
• https://192.168.1.100
• perhaps others?

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally we would accept any logical format and normalize these to what the Home Assistant client expects.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatively we can improve the documentation about what is required, but as much as I love documentation, I also know that most people don't read it.

Ok, will check.

Not an essential thing, just something I've noticed and thought it might make a good Hacktoberfest project for someone - but feel free to take it on yourself too :)

'ha_client.py' expect pure IP or domain name so it should by doable with some small regex.

BTW: It's 7. and I still do not have my 4 accepted commits :)

ooh they're increasing the requirements this year!

It's so wildly different - you get lots of people trying to submit single letter typo fixes, and others writing an entire Skill for a single PR.
