Homebridge plugin based on pyeconet for control of Rheem water heaters

### HELP NEEDED!

Do you have a leak sensor and/or shut off valve on your water heater? I would like to add support for these but I don't have access. Please consider [getting involved](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-econet-rheem/issues/4) if you'd like to see these features added.
