Why didn't you use home-assistant-js-websocket?

So not an issue with the code, but a question.

Home Assistant maintains home-assistant-js-websocket. A JS lib that is also used by the frontend and the Node-Red plugin to communicate with Home Assistant.

I see that you created your own for this plugin. Did you miss any functionality that you decided to go down this path?

It was not a real "decision", but more or less a night of coding - ignoring the possibility that something useful like this library may already exist. As this project is my first contact with javascript (as any experienced JS dev may notice ;) ), it started without use of modules - just as plain JavaScript.

I will take a look at the lib and consider to replace my hand-made solution. I will create an issue for that. Thanks for the hint :)
