Error: time data 'Today' does not match format '%d/%m/%Y'

When the EcoWater softener is out of salt, it throws an error because the output is just "Today" and not a date format:

This error originated from a custom integration.

Maybe not the most robust solution, but I did manage to fix it manually in my own files by editing sensor.py:

Suggestion via pr: #7

if data_json['out_of_salt'] == "Today":
    self._attrs[ATTR_OUT_OF_SALT_ON] = "Today"
else:
    if self._dateformat == "dd/mm/yyyy":
        self._attrs[ATTR_OUT_OF_SALT_ON] = datetime.strptime(data_json['out_of_salt'], '%d/%m/%Y').strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    elif self._dateformat == "mm/dd/yyyy":
        self._attrs[ATTR_OUT_OF_SALT_ON] = datetime.strptime(data_json['out_of_salt'], '%m/%d/%Y').strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    else:
        self._attrs[ATTR_OUT_OF_SALT_ON] = ''
        _LOGGER.exception(
            f"Error: Date format not set"
        )

Fixing it now! Sorry I haven't been very active lately.

Thanks 👍
