Create a release #13

I was thinking, if anyone have not made it to create a simple integration / component towards your api using home assistant.

Since you are the code owner to the api and home assistant require to pull a github release, could you please just tag a release of the current api in https://github.com/PatrickE94/pycalima/releases that I could use (I can fork it yes, but better if the official api owner does it).

Done!

If you decide to do an official Hassio addon, please do keep in touch. I have considered it but other projects are in favour (and my hass instance is far away from the fan which makes it much more trivial to just do MQTT from a Pi Zero or equivalent, than a direct hass addon.).

Hi,

I'd really like to use a hass.io add-on to control my Calima fan. In the meanwhile, could you share an detailed example how to use pycalima with hass.io? I'm running hass.io on rpi 3b+. Cheers!

Currently, I personally haven't address hass.io integration at all. I could take a look at it since it seems to be on the wishlist of many. Currently I most people execute the script as a command line sensor and parse accordingly.

However, is your Pi in range of the Fan? My experience is that the range is rather limited to inside the bathroom (or on the other side of the wall to the bathroom). Wouldn't it be more interesting with a remote solution (like an ESP32 doing MQTT updates)?
