Feature Idea: Community Profile Sharing

[oli-z]

First of all... great addon! I've built something similar with automations before, but this works way better.

I've had an idea for something that could be build to make the usage even easier. Currently, every user needs to train the integration for each washing machine program individually. For popular appliance models, many users likely have the same programs with identical power patterns.

My idea would be to build a community-driven profile library (similar to PowerCalc's approach) where users can:

• Browse profiles by appliance manufacturer/model
• Download and import existing profiles
• Share their own trained profiles with the community

Implementation Ideas

• Central repository (GitHub-based?) with JSON/YAML profile files
• Profile metadata: manufacturer, model, program name, confidence metrics
• Integration feature to import/export profiles
• Optional: Web interface for browsing available profiles

What do you think about this idea?

Hey, @oli-z this is definitely a great idea but I don't really want to even start working on this until I get integration into stable and reliable state. Give it a month or two and I'll think about the architecture and best way to do this.
