KDE bar integration for HA assistant #42

Hi,

It would be really great if you could get the Home Assistant voice assistant/AI system added into the desktop taskbar. Functionality would be similar to like how Copilot works on Windows 11. Its a button you hit, a chatbox opens and you can talk or type to the assistant to control Home Assistant.

That would be dope and I think it's related to #43; I think Butler would need the plumbing to be an actual companion app before someone could implement something like this.

I used to use Webslice but the dev hasn't been working on it for KDE 6 yet. It was super handy for including the web page (in this case Home Assistant for me), in a little panel I could quickly control some devices for Home Assistant in Kiosk Mode. Since KDE6 is now the defacto for releases, there is not much like that except your App. I think maybe adapting his code to accomplish what is being asked here may be a good start down that path.
