Release 0.5.8

Object Detection was introduced with 1.14 of Unifi Protect for the UDMP/UNVR with the G4 series of Cameras. (I am unsure about the CloudKey+, but this release should not break on the CloudKey+ even without object detection). This release now adds a new Attribute to the Binary Motion Sensors that will display the object detected. I have currently only seen person being detected, but I am happy to hear if anyone finds other objects. See below on how this could be used.
This release also introduces a few new Services, as per user request. Please note that HDR and High FPS Services will require a version of Unifi Protect greater than 1.13.x. You will still be able to upgrade, but the functions might not work.

• New feature: Turn HDR mode on or off, asked for in Issue #119. Only selected Cameras support HDR mode, but for those cameras that support it, you can now switch this on or off by calling the service: unifiprotect.set_hdr_mode. Please note that when you use this Service the stream will reset, so expect a drop out in the stream for a little while.
• New feature: Turn High FPS video mode on or off. The G4 Cameras support High FPS video mode. With this release there is now a service to turn this on or off. Call the service unifiprotect.set_highfps_video_mode.
• New feature: Set the LCD Message on the G4 Doorbell. There is now a new service called unifiprotect.set_doorbell_lcd_message from where you can set a Custom Text for the LCD. Closing Issue #104
• New attribute event_object that will add the object detected when Motion occurs. It will contain the string None Identified if no specific object is detected. If a human is detected it will return person in this attribute, which you can test for in an automation. (See README.md for an example)
