@scarface-4711 Could you merge this and push to a new version?

Is it also alright if I start converting the DenonAVR integration in HomeAssistant to a Config Flow?
(A Config Flow is now required for all integrations that communicate with devices / do I/O).

@starkillerOG I'd love to learn how to add the config flow so I will follow your changes over there. Going to read this today and hopefully it will inspire me on some of the "hang issues" people are reporting.

@JPHutchins I just finished a PR that implements Config Flow for the Xiaomi Miio platform (home-assistant/core#32091) if you are intrested you can see how I did it there. The DenonAVR platform will be pretty simular.

@JPHutchins I might need your help:
I started working on the config flow in this branch: https://github.com/starkillerOG/home-assistant/tree/patch-23

For the config flow I need to make a unique id, something like the mac adress/serial number something that is unique to the device so two of the same devices have a diffrent value while the value always stays the same for a device.

For me I can get the serial number and model by using:
http://192.168.1.IP:8080/description.xml

I know that on your newer receiver this url gets you device information wich also includes serial number and model:
http://192.168.0.119:60006/upnp/desc/aios_device/aios_device.xml

What I want to know, does http://192.168.1.IP:8080/description.xml also work for you?
Otherwise I will need to implement multiple ways of getting the serial number....

@starkillerOG I am getting nothing (Error 403) at http://192.168.1.IP:8080/description.xml. The port 60006 works as you suggested.

Maybe try to find a lazier way to get a unique response... IP wouldn't work cause it could change. Is it easier to get the model number and cross fingers that someone doesn't have two of the same model?
