Update / revamp for hON infra #12

Open pandizajner opened 1 year ago

Hey! I see there are a lot of issues reported that some devices don't run with this plugin well. Many of them feel like the same problem – devices that can be handled only by hON app, with the new WiFI module.

I did even try and bought an older WiFi module (KZW-W002) hoping it will work with my AS35S2F1FA-S. Unfortunately, it didn't. I had a hard time pairing it with the SmartAir2 app (didn't appear on the device list even though it was successfully connected to WiFi). I even tried to hook it using this plugin — with no success story too.

Eventually, I run a quick research if anybody in other communities like HA did manage the problem of the new infrastructure (used by hON). I found this topic, which might be inspiring for somebody, who has the power and dev skills to do this and build something new: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/integration-with-haier-hon-app/322490/103 https://github.com/Andre0512/hon

Maybe there's anybody, who could help people that are having the newer appliances eventually integrate them with HK. Sadly I don't have much knowledge and experience in this field, but I believe there's somebody who can.
