Description

Hi! Thanks again for maintaining this component! When Niko first introduced the change to the programming software to change the default password of the video door unit, I didn't realise this would prevent Home Assistant from accessing the stream and still image. Would you be open to a PR introducing support for setting the video door unit password? I've currently patched the options flow handler to include an additional field, but wanted to get your feedback on what your preferred approach would be.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing options flow handler and the video door unit configuration to determine the best place to add a password field. Review any existing configuration structures and how the stream/image access is handled.
