Panasonic Bluray Players for Home Assistant

This is a custom component to allow control of Panasonic Bluray Players Homeassistant.

It is a fork of the existing Panasonic integration (media player) with the missing commands and an additional remote entity type.

To make it work with latest UHD bluray players (such as UB820), you will have to enable voice control in the network menu AND to patch the Panasonic firmware (not an easy procedure). More information on AVSForum Tested correctly on Panasonic UB820.
