python-liveboxplaytv's Issues

Webscraping no longer allowed in HA

Hello, I know this is a big ask but in Home Assistant version 0.106 the Livebox Play TV integration was removed because it used web scraping (I assume to get the channel information). Would it be possible to create an updated version that just allowed status and control of the box?

I realize you have probably lots of better things to be doing with your time but it's worth asking!

Cheers,
Justin
