Get status of Panasonic Blu-ray players

# Panabridge

Panabridge is a Homebridge plugin for Panasonic Blu-ray players, focused primarily on retrieving the playback status for light automations in HomeKit. It is derived from the [Home Assistant Panasonic Blu-ray integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/panasonic_bluray/) and [python-panacotta](https://github.com/u1f35c/python-panacotta).
