Expose sendMessagePromise

[Baael]

First of all - nice project!

My idea is to expose sendMessagePromise in useHass hook.
Why?
I am right now creating map for polygon zones, and it is much faster, lighter and easier to work with messages.
For example:

await connection.sendMessagePromise({ type: "zone/list" })
await connection.sendMessagePromise({ type: "zone/create", ... })
await connection.sendMessagePromise({ type: "zone/delete", ... })
await connection.sendMessagePromise({ type: "zone/update", ... })

My idea is to solve it that way:

const { sendMessage } = useHass()

but I think it would be also nice (because why not):

const { list, create, delete, update } = useZones()

You can check the problem with zones here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-we-only-have-round-shaped-zones/468137/12

Basically in FE idea is to add map with free version of https://geoman.io/ and allow users to add polygon zones.

Good idea! Although you should already have access to sendMessagePromise from the connection object

I've tried to build hakit in a somewhat generic way, yet still providing anything users need to go nuts!

const { useStore } = useHass();
const connection = useStore(store => store.connection);
// now you can use
// connection.sendMessagePromise :) 

If you come up with something that's going to be useful for others, please do share it and I'll integrate it properly

Have fun!

If you're building a client side map, with hakit, please share it I'd love to add it as a card

Sure! When I will be far enough.
Right now I was concentrated more on fixing python part in overriding zone component and making everything work correctly.
