feature suggestion: report state as capability

[kubbur]

if state was reported as capability it would read through maker api and i could use it in home assistant dashboard to indicate state

@kubbur What driver are you referring to?

[kubbur]

Oh sorrý man, the driver for the laundry manager

I looked at this when I first published the driver, but it appears that Hubitat still doesn't have any capabilities that map to washers and dryers.

Ah no, I’m talking about the virtual devices that the laundry manager creates when installing the whole thing,

The reason I'm using an attribute for status is that there is no capability. You can only use official capabilities and cannot create custom ones. Hubitat would have to add support for a "Laundry Machine" capability to do what you're asking.

I'm not familiar with Home Assistant, but the maker API does publish the attributes, so it should be able to get the status
