Consider submitting this integration for inclusion in Home Assistant's core?

[Gamester17]

First, thank you for creating and maintaining this integration. I understand it is very useful for owners using Home Assistant.

I was wondering whether you have considered submitting this integration for inclusion in Home Assistant's core by default rather than only having it available only through HACS as a custom component?

• https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components

Home Assistant's developer documentation includes guidance for contributing an integration to its core repository, and it seems that having a native integration could provide benefits such as:

• Easier discovery and installation for users.
• Inclusion in official Home Assistant documentation.
• Improved long-term visibility and maintenance.
• Elimination of the need for HACS as a prerequisite.

I understand that moving an integration into Core requires significant work and could be a relativly huge effort to meet Home Assistant's Integration Quality Scale requirements, testing standards, documentation requirements, and ongoing maintenance commitments.

• https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/integration/contributing_to_core/

I also understand that many HACS-only integrations remain outside Core by choise because of API stability, maintenance burden, or Home Assistant's requirements for core rather than lack of interest.

• https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/development_submitting/

Bet that many would be interested to hear your thoughts if you think this integration could be a candidate for Core inclusion, or are there technical, API, licensing, maintenance, or other obstacles or blockers that would make this difficult?

Suggest that if you create a pull request then make that PR a draft then can get feedback on it before you say it is ready for a real review.

I know that much of the boring stuff like documentation and bringing an integration up to the needed Integration Quality Scale can be done mostley via AI coded now when using more advanced coding LL

Thanks again for all your work on this project!

I did try a couple year ago, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with the state of the signup (and in fact it broke just a few days ago when they introduced 2FA).
But now with the rise of AI it should be quite quick to port this to HA-Core.
I would like however to try controlling the system with an ESP32 connected to the modbus entry, that would be the dream that would allow us to bypass the network entirely and make it 100% local.
