I want to avoid SmartThings API
Hi,

I just stumbled on your excellent looking plugin as I am looking for ways to keep as many of my smart home integrations as I can local (i.e. not depending on web services).

Then I read that you are moving towards SmartThings API 😞 

Can I ask that rather than rip the "hacks" out of the code, you include a "local mode" that avoids using the SmartThings API at all costs, even if at the detriment to functionality?

Maybe have it as localMode:Strict means it will never use the API, localMode:Enabled will favour "hacks" where possible but still use the API where no other option is available locally for a function?

I'm hoping it's a simple as choosing to insert an if (localMode)... statement rather than deleting "hack" code as you add API functionality (and maybe restore a few old lines of code in the first instance!).

Happy to make a PayPal donation if this can be done.
