connect_coned
Connect the user's Con Edison (New York City / Westchester) electricity account, or check on a connection in progress. Call this first. Returns status: AUTHORIZATION_REQUIRED (ask the user for their ConEd account number, then call again with it), AUTHORIZATION_PENDING (the user must click Allow in an email from ConEd), DATA_LOADING (approved; usage is downloading, call again in a few minutes), READY (call get_coned_data), or ERROR (relay the message). Con Edison only — other utilities are not supported.
