I recently purchased a new PB850DX from Lowe's and am trying to integrate it with Home Assistant over WiFi using version 2025.1.0b4. When I enter the Grill ID (starts with PBL2-) I receive the error "Unknown grill type: PBL2".
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see the PB850DX/PBL2 added as a supported device.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Browsing through the code, it appears during the Home Assistant configuration flow the control board is extracted from the first part of the Grill ID (in this case PBL2). That is then compared against dknowles2/pytboss/pytboss/grills.json looking for PBL2 in control_board.name. Since there are no entries with PBL2, it is correctly giving the unsupported device error and not proceeding to the next step where it looks like there would be an option to choose the grill model (ones that use the same control board) and enter the grill password if set.
I believe the closest match to the PB850DX is PB850PS2 (PBL). Here are the both of them on PitBoss's site:
850 DX Wood Pellet Grill Pro Series II 850 Wood Pellet Grill
I haven't looked closely enough to see how standard certain settings are so I'm not sure if it would be as simple as using PB850PS2 as a template and changing a few fields.
Additional context
N/a
Looks like there is a commit waiting to potentially fix this. Hopefully it gets merged soon, just picked up a 850dx myself.
I am still getting errors with this. I was able to add it but I am getting this

I have a Pitboss Pro Series PBL-4022D83B2DC8. Under grill editor, it's 2DC8. Getting the same exception as the above.
Though I've had the smoker for 2 years, this is my first summer with HA so I hadn't tried to integrate it previously.
