• Show speed as "Not Responding" when device alarm received
• [Optional] Reset alarms automatically (when enabled, plugin will check device alarms every 5 minutes and will turn off and turn on device when alarm occured)

Supported Models:

I've only two units of one model (VENTO Expert A100-1 W V.2), so I can't check if it will work fine with other models. According to Blauberg Connection to a "Smart Home" system guide - they all have same API, so this plugin should work fine for all listed bellow.

• VENTO Expert A85-1 W V.2
• VENTO Expert A100-1 W V.2
