A Homebridge plugin for Philips Air+ Smart Tower Heaters.
\n\n## Installation\n\nAfter [Homebridge](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge) has been installed:\n\n```\nsudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge-philipsairplus-platform@latest\n```\n\nThe plugin uses a library based on `python3`. To use the plugin, Python/Pip must be installed!\n\n```\nsudo apt install python3-pip git\n```\n\nYou also need the `phipsair` module from [M. Frister](https://github.com/mfrister/phipsair):\n\n```\nsudo pip3 install -U phipsair\n```\n\n### Docker Installation\n\nIf you are running Homebridge in a Docker container (e.g., `homebridge/homebridge`), you need to install the dependencies using the startup script.\n\nCreate or edit the file `/homebridge/startup.sh` with the following content:\n\n```bash\n#!/bin/bash\n\n# Install phipsair library\napt update && apt install -y python3 python3-pip\npip3 install phipsair --break-system-packages\n```\n\nMake sure the script is executable and restart your container.\n\n## Device ID Auto-Detection\n\nThe plugin can automatically detect the `deviceId` from the device's IP address. Simply leave the `deviceId` field empty and provide the `ip_address`.\n\nIf you prefer to manually get the deviceId, use the following phipsair command:\n```\nphipsair -H
