For.A Hanabi Video Switcher Companion Module

This module allows for control of a For.A Hanabi Video Switcher video switcher using the undocumented websocket protocol. The official way to remote control these devices is to use the BVS-3000/DVS or GVG-100 protocols over the serial port.

Because we are using an undocumented protocol, it is possible that a software update from For.A could introduce breaking changes.
