• A load_shedding_sepush_api_quota sensor tracks hour API usage. This sensor updates every 30 minutes.
• Updated Cards to use Mushroom Chips for Status and Antomic Calendar Revive for the new Forecast Calendar. The calendar has data for the upcoming week, but shows 3 days by default. Check out Example Card 4
• The integration can now be reloaded from the UI

Breaking Changes

• Fixed #33 - Sensor entity IDs have been renamed. You may need to update Cards and Automations to accommodate this change.
  In the past they were based off the name field returned from the Eskom SePush API, which recently changed quite a bit. This lead to the sensor's entity ID changing. This release uses the Area ID for area sensors and a key for the Stage sensors. From here on, sensors entity IDs should be more constant. The Name field, which was previously used, is still used for the Sensor's Friendly display name.
• The stage sensor's forecast attribute has been renamed to planned
