## Home Assistant sensor component/integration for Itho Wifi
Requires add-on from https://github.com/arjenhiemstra/ithowifi and MQTT integration with Home Assistant.

Tested with WPU 5G, 2 CO2 sensors, HRU-350 (non-CVE) devices
This simplifies the integration by creating the sensors for the various Itho Daalderop devices: Heatpump WPU 5G, HRU-350 and related devices, CVE boxes, Autotemp units for floor heating.
For best user experience it should be used with the auto-discovery for the CVE / non-CVE devices in the add-on.

This custom component has no relation with the Itho Daalderop company.

This custom integration should become obsolete once full auto-discovery has the same capabilities.

### What works / should work
1. Create WPU sensors
2. Create NONCVE / HRU sensors
3. Create CVE sensors
4. Create up to two Remotes (CO2 sensors)

2. Create NONCVE / HRU Fan sensors

4. Create up to two Remotes for monitoring CO2 levels
5. Create Auto temp sensors

Overall: translations are available in English for now. NL to follow

## How to install
1. In the Add-On from Arjen: Update the add-on MQTT configuration to use ithohru for NON-CVE, ithowpu for Heatpump/WPU and ithotemp for Autotemp.
2. On the system running Home Assistant: Create /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/custom_components/itho
