Goodbye Python 3.4! This release marks end of support for python vers…

…ions older than 3.5, paving a way for cleaner code and a nicer API for a future asyncio

support. Highlights of this release:

* Support for several new devices, improvements to existing devices and various fixes thanks to @syssi.

* Firmware updates for vacuums (@rytilahti), the most prominent use case being installing custom firmwares (e.g. for rooting your device). Installing sound packs is
also streamlined with a self-hosting server.

* The protocol quirks handling was extended to handle invalid messages from the cloud (thanks @jschmer), improving interoperability for Dustcloud.

New devices:

This is a bugfix release which provides improved stability and compat…

…ibility.

This is a bugfix release because of further breaking changes of the u…

…nderlying library construct.

Improvements:
* Lazy discovery on demand (@syssi)
* Support of construct 2.9.23 to 2.9.30 (@yawor, @syssi)
* Avoid device crash on wrap around of the sequence number (@syssi)
* Extended support of the Philips Ceiling Lamp (@syssi)

This release provides major improvements for various supported device…

…s. Special thanks goes to @yawor for his awesome

work!

Additionally, a compatibility issue when using construct version 2.9.23 and greater -- causing timeouts and inability to
control devices -- has been fixed again.

Device errors are now wrapped in a exception (DeviceException) for easier handling.

New devices:
* Air Purifier: Some additional models added to the list of supported and discovered devices by mDNS (@syssi)
* Air Humidifier CA added to the list of supported and discovered devices by mDNS (@syssi)

Improvements:
* Air Conditioning Companion: Extended device support (@syssi)
* Air Humidifier: Device support tested and improved (@syssi)
* Air Purifier Pro: Second motor speed and filter type detection added (@yawor)
* Air Purifier: Some additional properties added (@syssi)
* Air Quality Monitor: Additional property "time_state" added (@syssi)
* Revise error handling to be more consistent for library users (@rytilahti)
* Chuangmi IR: Ability to send any Pronto Hex encoded IR command added (@yawor)
* Chuangmi IR: Command type autodetection added (@yawor)
* Philips Bulb: New command "bricct" added (@syssi)
* Command line interface: Make discovery to work with no IP addr and token, courtesy of @M0ses (@rytilahti)

The most significant change for this release is unbreaking the commun…

…ication when using a recent versions

of construct library (thanks to @syssi).
On top of that there are various smaller fixes and improvements, e.g. support for sound packs and running
python-miio on Windows.

New devices:
* Air Purifier 2S added to the list of supported and discovered devices by mDNS (@harnash)

Improvements:
* Air Purifier Pro: support for sound volume level and illuminance sensor (@yawor)
* Vacuum: added sound pack handling and ability to change the sound volume (@rytilahti)
* Vacuum: better support for status information on the 2nd gen model (@hastarin)

This release brings support for Air Conditioner Companion along some …

…improvements and an increase in the test coverage for

future-proofing the code-base. Special thanks for this release goes to @syssi & to all new contributors!

A bug exposed in python-miio when using version 2.8.17 or newer of the underlying construct library -- causing timeouts and
inability to control devices -- has also been fixed in this release.

New supported devices:
* Xiaomi Mi Home Air Conditioner Companion

Improvements:
* Mi Vacuum 2nd generation is now detected by discovery
* Air Purifier 2: expose additional properties
* Yeelight: parse RGB properly

This release includes small improvements for powerstrip and vacuum su…

…pport.

Furthermore this is the first release with proper documentation.
Generated docs are available at https://python-miio.readthedocs.io - patches to improve them are more than welcome!

Improvements:
* Powerstrip: expose correct load power, works also now without cloud connectivity
* Vacuum: added ability to reset consumable states
* Vacuum: exposes time left before next sensor clean-up
