Update entities after turning on/off entity

[wilfredktlr]

Currently the status of the entity is not directly updated after turning it on/off (for instance the light). I think this is because the status is not processed after executing the action (only every 10 seconds using the refresh_status() method).

I have added code to notify HA of changes in mertik data.

Calculation of Switch on/off is still delayed, as mertik flags does not tell that is on nor that it is igniting before much later. Maybe #10 will reveal how logic can be improved

I think it will be a good idea to rewrite the process response method now that we know a bit more about the structure of the request/response (#10). This way it will not only update on a status refresh but directly on the response you receive when you send a request to do something. I'll create a new issue later today describing my idea in more detail.

PS. I think it's best to start working on this after mertik.py has been moved to its own repository.

Not sure I understand "This way it will not only update on a status refresh but directly on the response you receive when you send a request to do something". It already processes the response if there is any and HA is updated. Only exception I know is SetFlameHeight, that does not have a response, so a status update is requested

When you execute a command (say turning the light on or off) you get a response from the WiFi-module with the current status. I now see that you added code to directly reflect the change in Home Assistant instead of awaiting the response.

I did a quick test and it didn't work as expected. I'll try to test later this week.
