Hi! I would also love to use this one :)
I tried to set it up via "custom_components" and adding my API and secret - but i dont know the steps afterwards. When trying to add something in configuration.yaml file i only get errors.

Would really appreciate it if you could reach out with a short explanation!
Thanks for your help.
