Feature request: ATX Readout/control #7

Feature request:

Ability to read out ATX power state (hard drive state optionally) and expose toggle/switch in HomeAssistant to power on/off and perform short/long presses of the buttons.

This would be very handy to have and with the API already implemented on the PiKVM side it hopefully won't be a difficult lift to implement. right? :)

Yes. This is for sure a planned feature. However, right now I'm waiting for ZeroConf features in next PiKVM release. The ZeroConf feature will provide a good user experience for adding and maintaining dynamic IP PiKVM devices.

Once completed, I will begin shaking out any problems and open a new repository for merging with Home Assistant core. They recommend starting with Sensor domains only and I'm going to heed that warning.

While the GPIOs are 1/2 sensors, it would be feature complete without buttons to trigger the GPIOs. And when that happens, people are also going to want Power/reset controls and ATX indicators. Also, I'm going to add screenshot/video monitoring APIs as well.

The idea will be to use this as a beta feature testing repository. HA core integration will be the refined release version of this beta repo. Lots coming, and implementation will be easy, but I'm in a long maintenance period right now.
