does this custom component disables the native GREE integration?

[adizag]

Describe the bug I've added 2 ACs using this integration and they work flawlessly. I couldn't controll them using the native gree integration so thanks!! Since I've added this custom integration the native GREE integration and the devices connected to it are unavailable. I expected this integration to be added without harming the other one operation, to avoid manual definition of not problematic ACs. Can you make any changes so both integrations can run together?

To Reproduce

1. add native gree integration and get ACs
2. add and configure HomeAssistant-GreeClimateComponent
3. the former native GREE integration becomes unavailable

Configuration climate:

• platform: gree name: horim_master_bedroom host: 10.0.0.176 port: 7000 mac: '92:XX:b8:YY:8d:ZZ' target_temp_step: 1 encryption_version: 2

Expected behavior I expect the former integration to be still available since I have only 2 out of 10 ACs that required the custom integration (encryption reasons)

Screenshots This is the former GREE integration where I have 8 ACs devices

Hi! Unfortunately this is not possible without creating a large breaking change. The issue is that the name of this component (gree) is exactly the same as the Gree integration that was introduced by Home Assistant.

Im afraid this is something I can't solve for you.
