Show pump RPM on filter switch #10

Pump RPM shows if I got to aqualinkd web interface but that doesn't follow through to homekit. I realize you're limited to things like dimmers, temperatures, etc... any way to show the pump RPM in the filter tile you can think of?

The best way would be to use a temp sensor, like I do with salt PPM. The problem is the last few versions of HomeKit, Apple have decided to group all temp censors at the top of the room page, making them kind-a useless for this type of thing. Due to how pump RPM is configured, it would be super difficult to code that into a Thermostat style tile which would be the other option, but I think that would cause even more issues than it solves. So at the moment, I’m really not sure how best to resolve this. I’m hoping they will introduce a new tile in the future to overcome this, or revert the temp censors back to how they used to work.

I understand. Aesthetically I like seeing the pump RPM but practically speaking I'd like to be able to adjust it via using automation within homekit, if you will. For now I just use Jandy to program things but would be cool if I could put a "clean pool" button that enables the cleaner and up's the RPM's. I could do that with a one-touch button of course but it doesn't look like those are exposed via this plugin, either :( appreciate your hard work! Love the integration.
