Support for accounts created with external IDP

[bahamut657]

Hello and really an amazing project.
I would love to be able to use this integration with a ConnectLife account created using external IDP (in my case Google)

Are there any plans to support it?

Hi and thank you!

I don't have the resources to reverse engineer the authentication flow (I based the authentication on the excellent work done in https://github.com/bilan/connectlife-api-connector), but I'm happy to accept a PR if anybody is able to implement it.

For those like me coming here to try login with their SSO account but find it isn't supported still but you've already got your device setup in that account. Based on instructions provided elsewhere by oyvindwe, I thought I would share my experience:

1. On the phone App, Create a second account using an email and password (needs to be a different email to your SSO account as that is now occupied by that SSO).
2. Still on the phone App, switch accounts back to your SSO account, go to the device/s you have already setup in your SSO account, select them 1 by 1, scrolling to the bottom to get to the "Share Device" option and adding your new email to the shared accounts list.
3. In the ConnectLife-HA integration within HA, use the Email and Passwrod from the new account you setup (Which will now have the device/s shared with it
4. Forget your new email version of your account exists, you don't have to accept device shares or use that account for any other reason
