Home Assistant custom component - iKamand
Since the event where Kamado Joe stopped supporting his iKamand service... I tried to find a solution to give a second life to this module and avoid the dump!
iKamand is based on similar projects and the work of many people. During installation, all components are created in accordance with the iKamand!
