Hi,

I recently picked up a wyze sense starter kit and I have to say your component is awesome, so thanks for all the work on it!

I was curious though; why haven't you attempted to submit it to the upstream repo so we don't need HACS and to pull from here anymore?

There's a few issues still that people are having on the most common platform (raspberry pi). Having it in HACS allows us to reiterate and push releases and bug fixes faster than the 2 week Home Assistant release cycle. Once it gets a bit more stable and the issues on here die down, submitting to upstream is definitely the next step. That's when it's really gonna blow up (due to how cheap and great these are) so we want to have the kinks worked out.

Awesome sounds like a solid plan, thanks!

If/when this gets published upstream, make sure to note that the wyze dongle requires hidraw drivers. There are some platforms (like synology) that only have hiddev drivers, and no hidraw drivers.
