Configure component through Settings -> Integrations #71

Closed Tho85 closed 3 years ago

Tho85 commented 3 years ago

Allows to configure this component via the Integrations panel in settings, also known as config flow.

Advantages:

The integration may be configured and removed at runtime
There is a link to the integration on each entity's detail page
Existing configuration from configuration.yaml will be imported automatically
In theory, it would be possible to connect to multiple SysAPs at once (not tested)
This is also a preparation for more advanced stuff, e.g. grouping sensors/actors belonging together within the same device

This actually contains the upgrades I was just thinking off :). NICE!

Good work, I was just on the point of uploading my own version of the integrations panel. In my version I have automatic discovery through zeroconf working. You only have to enter username and password. I will try to integrate this in your version.

Nice! Do you think you can add auto discovery to this code? I have thought about it as well, but didn't implement it since my SysAP sits in its a different network than HA, and I'd have to rewire my network to actually test it.

Maybe you can reuse this config flow? I think it would be great if hostname and port would be pre-filled from auto discovery, and you'd only have to enter username and password. This way it would still be possible to add the integration manually if auto discovery doesn't work.
