TaoTronics Humidifier not recognized in HA add-on

[YankoIvanov]

Hi and thank you for putting this together and maintaining it! If I can get it to work with my two TaoTronics humidifiers, it would be fantastic! I'm hitting trouble getting them recognized as humidifiers in home assistant.

Here's my setup:

• Home Assistant on RPi4, MQTT addon
• AirCon addon with config as outlined below

• AirCon discovers the two humidifiers and it does connect to MQTT as I see messages come in. However, the addon doesn't seem to recognize them as humidifiers and they keep coming online and immediately go offline again (mqtt msgs).

  I read through https://github.com/deiger/AirCon/issues/7 but am not sure how I can set the config to identify them as humidifiers.

Here is my addon config:

log_level: DEBUG
mqtt_host: <ip-redacted>
mqtt_user: <user-redacted>
mqtt_pass: '<pass-redacted>'
port: 1883
app:
  - username: <user-redacted>
    password: <user-redacted>
    code: huihe-us

And here is an example MQTT messages (2):

        {

        }
    ],

    "power_state_topic": "hisense_ac/<mac-redacted>/switch/status"
}

Any thoughts on what's going on?

Also, I did notice this error in the addon log, not sure what's causing it:

@deiger , wondering if you had some ideas on this. (I went through https://github.com/deiger/AirCon/issues/7, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong setting it up).
