add cloud api support

[drc38]

To incorporate the cloud api, I have renamed __init__.py to local.api.py and imported it in the new __init__.py file.

Looks like the issue with the test files on Windows has meant my repo does not have them, so if you could add them back in that would be great.

Happy to take on board any other feedback.

Hi 👋!
Since local and cloud api handler here are completely unrelated (eg. aiohttp vs. httpx) and also have different specific needs (local needs special error handling currently done in HA integration code) - wouldn't it make sense to have the Solar.web api library as an extra library on pypi instead of merging it with the local one? I think this would make it easier to understand, find and fix issues and maintain.

@drc38 Great that this worked out.

Actually I did not think much about the consequences of adding cloud API. @drc38 are you using any of the definitions used for the local API? If not, I agree with @farmio that this should go to a separate package. Feel free to just copy the project skeleton, then there should be little to no extra work in separating the packages.

Originally I had thought the same functions could be repeated eg current_power_flow in the cloud api and data formatted to match, but perhaps that will be more difficult than simply creating a new pypi library and separate HACS repo for HA. I already have a separate repo setup so no issue taking that approach.

You could always require and import both libraries from the HA integration if you want to ship it in HA Core instead of HACS.
In config flow a user could simply choose local / cloud first and then branch out to the individual config steps needed.

There are several integrations already doing this. So you should find working examples in HAs codebase.

Closing as first draft of cloud api now added to Pypi https://pypi.org/project/fronius-solarweb/
