plum-ecomax v0.4.1-beta.1

Foreword

This is first beta release of new 0.4.x branch of the integration based on PyPlumIO 0.5.x.

PyPlumIO 0.5.x brings about new design philosophy as well as much lower memory footprint (up to 35 Mb savings measured) and moderate performance upgrade, especially with multi-cored CPU. From the integration standpoint you can expect faster startup time and quicker reaction to parameter changes.

Due to some breaking changes, this is released as beta without any additional new features, so you can safely test it and downgrade if there's a problem, without really losing anything in the process.

As always any feedback is much appreciated!

Breaking changes

• Power and Load sensors are now listed under different keys in PyPlumIO. This means that sensors under old key will become unavailable and can be safely removed. If you use these sensors, make sure to update your dashboards and/or automations to point to a new sensors or simply edit IDs of new sensors to match the IDs of removed ones.
• Same for Weather control and Enable circuit switches and Grate mode temperature, Fuel calorific value, Circuit target temp and Circuit work mode parameters.

Integration changes

• Updated PyPlumIO library from v0.4.14 to v0.5.4.
• Get parameter service now returns unit of measurement.
• Removed model string formatter, as formatting is now done by PyPlumIO.
• Implemented better handling of unknown devices. Related to #44.
