[Issue]: Add ability to exclude devices

[andrein]

I have 3 indoor units usin BRP069B4x controllers, which still support the local API and one newer unit using a BRP069C4x controller.

Since I've added the daikin_onecta integration to control the newer unit, it created duplicate entities for the other 3 units that use the local API.

Would it be possible to add the ability to filter out devices, such that I can continue to use the Daikin integration for the older units and only use the daikin_onecta integration for the new one?

Thanks,
Andrei

See #202

Thanks, I missed that one, but removing local devices from the onecta app scores very low on the wife acceptance factor. Disabling dozens of entities is also a bit tedious.

A feature to exclude certain devices from the integration configuration would be very helpful here. Something similar to the HomeKit Bridge integration, where you can exclude certain device classes from being exported to HomeKit?

You can also disable a device in HA, disables all it entities, I would propose that you use that standard feature

[andrein]

Both the daikin integration and the daikin_onecta integration export the same devices, so I can't disable the device in HA:

Are you just not getting some entities duplicate, you can control it through two different components? In your dashboard you could select the local or remote one?

This integation now also sets the model_id as part of the device info, that is not done by the core daikin integration, do you now see 2 devices or still one?
