Any chance of a http API? #3

I came to your plugin because it's the only option for outside control of these ThinkEco SmartAC units - so thanks for the great work.

Unfortunately, I don't use any iOS devices and so I can't actually use this in homekit. However, I do use Home Assistant. Ideally, I'd like to have Home Assistant send http API calls to your plugin to poll the current temperature, set the temperature, and of course turn the AC on/off.

I don't know the first thing about the work it took to get this up and running, so perhaps this would be a nightmare for you. But if it's possible, I think it would extend the functionality greatly (at least for me!)

I'm not planning on adding support just yet as it appears with Google I'd need to host a web service that stores mymodlet.com usernames / passwords on my end. I'd rather not do that. I'd definitely add support if / when the ThinkEco folks add support for oauth so I wouldn't have to do that.
