As per the discussions on #16 the documentation should be updated for people that want to use the egguy HA add-on to run grott: https://github.com/egguy/grott-home-assistant-add-on/tree/main

FWIW I used this and it worked a treat. Since I plan on not ever having HA offline any more or less than some other server, was no particular need to host Grott somewhere else. I found the instructions on installing the egguy grott fine so I took the liberty of making a proposed change to the docs mainly as the existing instructions over there are simple enough as is. #66

What would be interesting to know is are there material differences running the egguy HA grott plug in vs standalone grott and/or the egguy HA integration surfacing entities in MQTT vs the muppet3000 grott integration?

There is literally nothing different, the egguy addon just bundles up grott and allows you to run it as a home-assistant add-on. Not everyone runs home assistant OS and therefore not everyone has the luxury of using 'add-ons' (they're only supported in certain flavours of Home Assistant) hence why the documentation never mentioned it originally. I admit that for people that can use add-ons it's a quick and easy to use solution to the problem.

Thank you for the PR, I've just merged it.
