Fix to always use json when sending a PUT/POST

[ashleigh-hopkins]

Disclaimer, I've never written any python before... and I didn't test that any command and control actions work 😅

Should fix #199

I have tested this fix, and it seems it works. At least the PUT queries now work (specifically, u tried using the client._set_lock_state function, and the server can handle it correctly.

I have also tested this branch and can confirm that it restores API connectivity. On the v0.9.0a0 release I get a "[415 Unsupported Media Type]" and DENY back from surehub.io. With this PR I am able to perform queries to the surehub.io API again.

I replaced the lib in my Home-assistant install and it works like a charm! Just in time for new-years so I can keep the cats indoors while I'm abroad.. Thanks a lot!

Depends on your setup, ymmv.
I am running HassOS (in proxmox) with the advanced SSH plugin. I don't upgrade Home-assistant that often, so I am not on the latest version!

So what I did:

• ssh'ed to the instance
• list all running containers with docker ps and searched for the ghcr.io/home-assistant/qemux86-64-homeassistant container.
• got shell with docker exec -it [container-id] bash
• cloned this repo into /root
• search for the location of surepy with pip show surepy, on my setup it was in /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-package/surepy
• replaced /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-package/surepy with the one in /root/surepy/surepy

That should do the trick. I do recommend backing up the original surepy folder in /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-package/. Also; if you update Home-assistant and the fixes has not been merged you will need to do this again.
