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:
* Chuangmi Plug V3 (@syssi)
* Xiaomi Air Humidifier CA (@syssi)
* Xiaomi Air Purifier V3 (@syssi)
* Xiaomi Philips LED Ceiling Light 620mm (@syssi)

Improvements:
* Provide the mac address as property of the device info (@syssi)
* Air Purifier: button_pressed property added (@syssi)
* Generalize and move configure\_wifi to the Device class (@rytilahti)
* Power Strip: The wifi led and power price can be controlled now (@syssi)
* Try to fix decrypted payload quirks if it fails to parse as json (@jschmer)
* Air Conditioning Companion: Turn on/off and LED property added, load power fixed (@syssi)
* Strict check for version equality of construct (@arekbulski)
* Firmware update functionality (@rytilahti)

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

Release of version 0.3.1 (rytilahti#110)

Good bye to python-mirobo, say hello to python-miio!

As the library is getting more mature and supports so many other devices besides the vacuum sporting the miIO protocol,
it was decided that the project deserves a new name.
The name python-miio was previously used by a fork of python-mirobo, and we are thankful to SchumyHao for releasing the name for us.

The old "mirobo" package will continue working (and is API compatible) for the foreseeable future,
however, developers using this package (if any) are encouraged to port their code over to use the the new "miio" package.
The old command-line tools remain as they are.

In order to simplify the initial configuration, a tool to extract tokens from a Mi Home's backup (Android) or its database (Apple, Android) is added. It will also decrypt the tokens if needed, a change which was introduced
recently how they are stored in the database of iOS devices.

Improvements:
* Vacuum: add support for configuring scheduled cleaning
* Vacuum: more user-friendly do-not-disturb reporting
* Vacuum: VacuumState's 'dnd' and 'in_cleaning' properties are deprecated in favor of 'dnd_status' and 'is_on'.
* Power Strip: load power is returned now correctly
* Yeelight: allow configuring 'developer mode', 'save state on change', and internal name
* Properties common for several devices are now named more consistently

New supported devices:
* Xiaomi PM2.5 Air Quality Monitor
* Xiaomi Water Purifier
* Xiaomi Air Humidifier
* Xiaomi Smart Wifi Speaker (incomplete, help wanted)

Considering how far this project has evolved from being just an inter…

…face for the Xiaomi vacuum, it is time to leave 0.1 series behind and call this 0.2.0.

This release brings support to a couple of new devices, and contains fixes for some already supported ones.
All thanks for the improvements in this release go to syssi!
