❓ Why another integration

The current Samsung Soundbar Integration by @PiotrMachowski / @thierryBourbon are already pretty cool. But I wanted it to appear as a device, and base the Foundation on the pysmartthings python package.

Additionally, I wanted full control over the Soundmode and more. So I tried out a few things with the API, and found that also the Subwoofer as well as the Equalizer are controllable.

I created a new wrapper around the pysmartthings.DeviceEntity specifically set up for a Soundbar, and this is the Result.

I hope to integrate also controls for surround speaker as well as Space-Fit Sound, but as these features are not documented... ;)
