Support chunmi.cooker.eh1

[liangleslie]

Related to the issue for the Home Assistant miio cooker component.

The chunmi.cooker.eh1 has different recipe profiles, a new method for stopping the cooker, and reports status information differently.

Would be interested in it too. Is there anything new?

With the very helpful information provided by @syssi and @liangleslie in syssi/xiaomi_cooker#3
i build a basic integration for this device. It is still at the very beginning and WIP.
The following is already supported:

• getting basic info from the device
  • including some cooking stages and cooking times etc.
• starting a cooking profile
  • with setting cooking duration and schedule time

I am using this in combination with https://github.com/syssi/xiaomi_cooker in my home assistant instance to start the cooking process for different profiles and monitoring it.

As i said it is still WIP and currently i am not able to build new cooking profiles or fetch more profiles from Xiaomi as there are many profiles available in the Xiaomi Home application.

Bump for interest. I have such a cooker and now I have two options: get a new one because the Xiaomi Home app just pisses me off or help you guys and get this damn cooker finally work properly. So how can I help? :)

As i mentioned i did a basic integration for this. If you like you could have a look: https://github.com/sschirr/python-miio

I use this in combination with this modified version of xiaomi_cooker component for HA: https://github.com/sschirr/xiaomi_cooker

With this i am currently able to control the cooking without the xiaomi app from my HA.

I am not done with the integration but some feedback and/or testing would be really great :)

@sschirr Do you like to make a contribution to python-miio? I would like to see the device officially supported.

[sschirr]

Yes. I would like to open a pull request for this.
But i am not sure how the process of contributing looks like. When is best time to open the pull request?

[syssi]

Always if you need/like support. Just use your pull request as platform.

There is also #832 for a generic implementation for several chunmi cookers. I'd suppose these devices share common properties / protocol, and could likely be contained in a single implementation?
