Feedback on using 'main' (to be used for a 0.3.15 PyPi release) by BenPru/Luxtronik

[rhammen]

In this thread I will provide feedback on issues I encountered when using the current 'main' thread in the HA BenPru/Luxtronik integration, instead of using 0.3.14.

Unless specifically mentioned, it does not mean that these issues need to be fixed before a 0.3.15 version can be released.
Rather, it is intended as feedback on 'Breaking changes' that users may encounter when updating.
It is up to the developers to decide if they want to make changes to (better) deal with reported issue in the code, in documentation, or just accept them.

Several parameters/calculations have been renamed.
This means that when the old name is used, it results in an error, because the old parameter/calculation is not known anymore.
In most cases this is about calculations/parameters like "calculations.Unknown_Calculation_XXX"

Some examples, that I countered:

• calculations.Unknown_Calculation_239 --> calculations.VBO_Temp_Spread_Soll
• calculations.Unknown_Calculation_240--> calculations.VBO_Temp_Spread_Ist
• calculations.Unknown_Calculation_242--> calculations.HUP_Temp_Spread_Soll
• calculations.Unknown_Calculation_243--> calculations.Unknown_Calculation_243

There probably are more...

  81: Version("ID_WEB_SoftStand"),", which worked and returned the full firmware version (index 81-90) in 0.3.14, does not exist anymore and thus results in an error. 

This calculation has been renamed to " 81: Character("ID_WEB_SoftStand_0"),", and now only returns the first character of the firmware version.

I did notice the get_firmware_version() function, but users upgrading and encountering this issue would need to look carefully in the code to be aware of it.
