Add support for nightlight on the Chime Pro

[jampez77]

I recently got a Chime Pro that has a night light.

The ring app gives the option to turn it on or off but if possible I'd prefer to do so using this project so I can automate the light with the rest of my smart home.

Biggest problem is, as it's not directly supported by ring-client-api, and I don't know the command that is needed for this (the URL or any json body specs) so I'm not sure how to implement it. Normally you can somewhat reverse engineer the commands from the web UI, but chimes aren't available there, as far as I know (at least my Chime Pro doesn't appear there). That means you'd have to deconstruct the Ring app or trace traffic with a MITM proxy setup (and probably a rooted device) and I don't have that setup these days, nor the time to do so. Do you know if these commands are documented in any other Ring API project?

I didn't try it. Is that setting available in the Ring app? I don't remember seeing it. In general, I'm pretty skeptical of implementing any code that attempts to change values via the API that aren't possible to change in the Ring app because there are LOTs of settings on the various devices that don't seem to work or be fully implemented, or at least don't work in expected ways (cameras have tons of such settings).

Ah ok. No there is nothing in the app that I can see. I was just hoping that I stumbled upon a secret setting to change the nightlight illuminance threshold.

Dev branch now has support for setting the nightlight enable status. I exposed this as a switch to toggle between enabled/disabled, rather than a light since it's not possible to control the light directly, the toggle only enables/disables the light sensor. There is also an NightlightState attribute available on the entity which can be used to determine the actual on/off state of the nightlight.

That was quick! Good work. I will give the dev branch a go soon :)

Forgot to say, this has been working flawlessly for me
