GeoPulse Home Assistant integration

Intro

This integration forwards Home Assistant location updates to a GeoPulse server.

It sends data to the excellent GeoPulse and was based on the Dawarich Home Assistant integration.

Caution

This was developed by ChatGPT Codex so I have no idea if the code is efficient or uses best practice. Use at own risk!
