Caveats

The current guidance around using this integration (#15) is not relevant to the attributes/entities of my ThinQ Washer/Dryer. My Devices do not have a "Generic" entity as described in that issue (another user details the same thing here).

I was able to get mine working with the above yaml and I think it is the best way after troubleshooting quite a bit. The dryer_remaining_time entity state is a timestamp of when the dryer expects to finish. From what I can tell even if the dryer changes the end time when using the "sensing" feature (or whatever its called) this still updates properly but I haven't fully tested this.

There is another entity for total_time, but I dont think this one will be useful when the washer or dryer automatically changes its time remaining. I do think there is probably a more efficient way to define active_state but this is what's working for me now.

I'm not sure if the old guidance is outdated or if there is just a difference in devices, so the prior guidance may still be relevant.
