Add detailed installation and usage instructions #12

Install via HACS or manually
Usage: modifying configuration.yaml and then what to look for once you've restarted HA (this tripped me up when I first installed it; I kept searching for "daikin" or "skyport" in the entity name)

I'm wondering about the TODO items in the README:

What's wrong with the services? Is this TODO still relevant?
I don't see a time in the forecast. Is this still relevant?
Better understand the API: is this worth documenting?

Thanks for fixing the readme!

Do the services work for you? They didn't for me, or at least they didn't the last time I tried to use them.
In my forecast it says "Monday 8:00 PM". Does it not do that for you? I'd like to get rid of the "8:00 PM". Also, it should say Tuesday or Wednesday, so that's another bug.
Can probably remove this one now. I linked to someone else who is documenting the API more than me.

No sweat! Thanks a lot for taking the time to figure out this API and write this code so that folks like myself can keep using HA with our fancy new HVAC systems :)

* Do the services work for you?  They didn't for me, or at least they didn't the last time I tried to use them.

My bad. They do not. Looks like an uncaught exception. I'm going to open an issue and if I have time on the weekend, poke into it more.

Ahh, thanks for the screenshot. I do see the time as well (which I agree is super weird in a forecast).
