Feature: Config flow, manually choose a model - show model id and model name
Reproduce steps
- Add integration
- Powercalc
- Add virtual entity
- Select entity
- Choose LUT
- Unselect 'confirm model'
- Choose the manufacturer
When choosing the model, you are presented with the list of model IDs. For some manufacturers, this is less of an issues - ie osram
For others; it can be a bit tricky:
(Especially when you've thrown away the packaging and the model number is written on a globe... you just plugged in)
Possible solutions:
- Showing the model name + model ID here would be helpful (https://next.home-assistant.io/docs/blueprint/selectors/#select-selector allows label + value combos)
- Adding a link to https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc/blob/master/docs/supported_models.md would also help
I have been working on refactoring of the power profile library which should make it trivial to add the model name to the dropdown, however as they are sometimes very long I don't think it will work. So I prefer to add a link to the supported model list.
