SmartThingsTV pypi module

[starkillerOG]

Would you consider publishing the code under custom_components/samsungtv_smart/api/smartthings.py as a pypi module so that other projects can use the SmartThingsTV class?

If not, do you mind if I fork and publish it myself as a pypi module?

I want to get basic smartthings support inside the HomeAssistant samsungtv component to get some missing features in the build-in integration.

@starkillerOG,

this is in my plan, I will do this shortly.
But consider that add SmartThings support to native SamsungTV integration was already discussed in the past, the point was that HA teams don't want to have "hybrid" integration that works both local and cloud based. I don't know if somethink is changed, honestly I don't think.

@ollo69 good to know, thanks!
I will ask around if it "hybrid" would be acceptable.

@ollo69 I discussed this with HomeAssistant core, and they will allow us to implement SmartThings cloud into the buildin samsungtv integration to extend the features.

However cloud needs to be optional and cloud should only be used for features that are not locally available.

So we can defenitly work on this.

If you get the pypi module published we can then start working on a first implementation for the buildin integration.
