Update to frigidaire-homebride plugin as a result of Frigidaire's new app, which uses a different API and broke the old plugin.

@marekbrz I just set this up locally and everything is working great!

It took me a second to figure out what serial number I should be using for the applianceSerial property in the config. It might be worth adding some notes to the README to clarify:

  1. Get the serial number from the app for a specific AC unit
  2. If you have more than one AC unit (like I do) you have to add the plugin N times to get control of your N units (in my specific case I have 2 units, so I have to add the config block twice to get control of both units)

Hello Dan,

I tried your method and i am having difficulties adding my AC to the frigidare plugin, I opened an issue on the Github page of the plugin. If you could would you please take a quick look and let me know what I could be doing wrong ?

Many thanks for your time and input!!
