New devices quickstart utility

[cristianchelu]

Heya,

I've just released a utility app that may be of use to anyone trying to reverse engineer new devices.

It works by parsing the JSON spec file and trying to map each service/property/event to the most likely esphome component type, then generating an ESPHome YAML config using this custom component at its core.

That config should have all the proper SIIDs/PIIDs laid out from the start, easing the frustration of starting a new config.

It's available here: https://cristianchelu.github.io/miot2esphome/
Source code: https://github.com/cristianchelu/miot2esphome

All thoughts welcome.

PS: I figured it would better live as a separate entity in its own repo, but if you want to have it close to this component we can figure out a way to merge it here.

That looks great, nice work!

And I agree on it living in a seperate repo. If you want, you could add a link to the README here and I'll happily merge that ;)

@cristianchelu Looks very interesting, thank you!

I tried the search but it didn't turn any results. Tried e.g.:

fan:0000A005:dmaker-p18:1
Smart
Fan
etc.

but no luck.

@helgek Do you have any errors in the console? It should work exactly like the search page on the miot website because that's what it's calling in the background

@cristianchelu the only response I see is a short animation of the search icon next to the search field. Apart from this I don't see any other activity on the page. And I tried 3 different browsers.
