Feature Request: Reload from cloud on failure or on demand #166

Open davethetallguy opened 2 months ago

davethetallguy commented 2 months ago

I normally operate my system with prefer_cache = true.

Twice in the last few months, I've made a change in a Kumo level system parameter (using my MHK controller) and the hass-kumo integration has subsequently stopped working.

By going into the core configuration, I edited (via VIM) "prefer_cache": from true to false, saved the file, rebooted home assistant, and the integration reloaded and immediately connected successfully. I couldn't find any other way to change this preference than editing the core file.

While this works, it might be nice to either have a default timeout on "unavailable" status (1 hour?) or even a selection to "use kumo cloud on next boot" in order to force this without diving into a config file that isn't normally intended for meat-sacks to be editing directly.

Thanks as always for a solid integration.
