Feature request: Expose manual/remote-control driving for robot vacuums in SwitchBot OpenAPI #470

Description

@heartius

Current Situation

SwitchBot is moving toward AI smart home, but the current official OpenAPI supports too few commands for AI-driven control.
In the SwitchBot app, robot vacuums can be manually driven (remote-control style) in certain modes, but OpenAPI does not expose this capability.
Could you support (in OpenAPI) what the app can already do? Without this, AI integrations have limited extensibility for “move to spot / precise positioning” workflows.

Proposed Change

Expose manual/remote-control driving capability for robot vacuums in SwitchBot OpenAPI.
Provide an interface to start/stop remote control mode and send directional movement commands (or an equivalent movement control mechanism).
