ecowitt_iot custom integration for HACS HomeAssistant

This custom integration supports the WFC01 WittFlow water timer and the AC1100 WittSwitch smart plug.

Created as the existing core ecowitt integration is a push based implementation (runs a server listening for weather station data), and the Ecowitt IOT devices need a polling/local api approach. Smooshing them together seemed overly complicated, so this is a different standalone integration. There's no cross-over interference with the core ecowitt integration, they're not working with the same end-devices, and if you have both Ecowitt IOT and non-IOT (weatherstation, soil sensors) devices then you want both this integration and the core one docs.

Status

In active development

WFC01 Wittflow water timer

Working, pending update to add more tests and better cope with the activation delay where the switch un-sets itself while the Ecowitt gateway/device are

AC1100 WittSwitch smart plug

Untested (unowned). Should work but feedback welcome
