"Enhanced Device Information and Serial Number Handling

- Added functionality to parse and set the model name based on serial numbers.
- Included method to set 'V-Zug' as the manufacturer for all devices.
- Refined JSON parsing for improved model data management.
- Enhanced serial number handling for device identification in HomeKit."

 Integrate your V-ZUG appliances into Apple HomeKit using this Homebridge plugin, which currently supports status monitoring via an unofficial REST API. This plugin provides a HomeKit switch to reflect the operational status of your V-ZUG appliance, allowing you to check if the device is active.

-## Current Functionality
-
-- **Status Monitoring**: The plugin currently exposes the operational status of your V-ZUG appliances as a switch in HomeKit, showing if the device is active.
 
 ## Supported Models
 
 - Currently tested with:
-  - V-Zug CombairSteamer V6000 60
+  - V-Zug CombairSteamer V6000 60Y
   - V-Zug CombairSteamer V6000 45F
 
+The plugin will automatically find the Model and Serial Number of your Device and populate the relevant fields for HomeKit
+
 ## Developer's Note
 
 This is my first Homebridge plugin, primarily aimed at status monitoring for V-ZUG appliances. It's pretty basic – mainly showing the on/off status. Since it's my initial release, there might be some room for improvement. I'm open to feedback and suggestions!
