I know that Vantage tasks can be launched as a service but there is a specific advantage to automatically creating them as button entities when the integration is installed. There are Home Assistant user interface add ons that will automatically create a UI dashboard for all entities or a subset of entities. Currently, all of the loads in Vantage come into HA as light entities and they are auto populated in these dashboards. One such dashboard that does this is the Auto Generating Mushroom Dashboard Strategy https://github.com/AalianKhan/mushroom-strategy. If tasks were automatically installed as button entities, all of the tasks would automatically appear in this mushroom dashboard along with the loads. It would save a lot of work manually adding each task to a UI.
Describe the solution you'd like
When this Vantage integration is installed on a system, provide an option to create all existing Vantage tasks as button entities.
Additional context
I would attempt doing this myself but I am not very proficient at Python yet. With a little guidance I would be open to trying to implement this feature. I see tremendous value in having this as part of this already awesome integration.
