Myuplink integration handles enum-controls incorrect

[hakwest]

The problem

Myuplink integration do not handle writable enum-controls correct.

When the response from Myuplink contains a enum-control that is writable the integration do not handle the response as expected. It should create a writable-control with the enum values. Instead it creates a sensor that can't be used to set any enum-value.
The response below shows the myuplink-swagger-response for the "comfort mode" that have four enum-value for the warmvater comfort-mode.

Thank you for reporting this issue. This is the first example we see where there is an enum datapoint with writable attribute set to true. This entity should probably be implemented with the select platform. We will put it on the to-do list for the integration.

[hakwest]

Perfect - looking forward for a release with this implemented. :-)

@hakwest I have now prepared a PR that adds a select entity for data points with multiple enum values. It works in theory (pytest) but I need to verify the functionality in real life before submitting the change.
Are you comfortable with running a HA development environment? If not, I think the easiest way is if you share access to your device via the myUplink web site. Please contact me on ake@strandberg.eu if you are willing to assist with the final verification.
