v0.2.0-alpha

ℹ️ NOTE: This version is significantly different from the first release and has several breaking changes, so be ready to update our automations and panels. README has been updated with examples.

The load shedding sensor has been split into two sensors.

One for the stage and one for the area schedule.

The stage sensor always gives the current stage (as provided by Eskom)

The area schedule sensor provides the status for your area and will turn on when load shedding is active for the area or off when
there is no load schedding. It also lists the schedule for the next few days in attributes and starts_in and ends_in in minutes which is useful for automations.

You may need to delete the cache files from your config and uninstall/reinstall the integration.

Error handling has been improved and the sensor is much more stable and doesn't flap and trigger automations inappropriately when Eskom is unavailable.
