adding support for no-salt systems and flow rate #51

Open tednv opened 8 months ago

tednv commented 8 months ago

i have an oxidation iron filter system that does not use salt but does backwash nightly

the api shows daily usage, average usage, flow rate, and several other stats. integration was working until recent update, which broke because the salt values were not being found. this change adds a checkbox "Uses Salt" to integration configuration, which can be turned off for systems which do not use salt. There are several other ecowater systems which are either plain filters or other types which do not use salt, this should work for those as well

  • increasing check frequency to 1 minute

  • adding flow rate from api

  • adding support for no salt (oxidizing, etc) systems

  • fixing deprecated unit warnings

Going to 1 minute polling could trigger the Chamberlain Effect and we will lose this integration. 10x load. I actually changed my trigger back to 30 minutes.

I think that one data that I really miss is to know when ( # of days) regeneration has been done

@tednv How does this behave in the latest v4.0.0 version? Do you still have issues with the values not being found?
