Vizio integration depends on Cloud but documentation says Local

[eRaid6]

The problem

pyvizio tries to query App Names by querying scfs.vizio.com which is in the Cloud, not Local. When access to scfs.vizio.com is blocked the Vizio integration fails to initialize and logs this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Additionally the request to scfs.vizio.com is over HTTP.

Since the Vizio integration depends on the Cloud I believe the documentation should be updated or the integration patched to still initialize the integration even if access scfs.vizio.com fails (pyvizio commit seems to indicate it should still work raman325/pyvizio@e5be57f).

Upgraded to latest version of Home Assistant, still having issues.

I mean, the label that is attached to integrations about their way of communication is describing how the majority of the communication with the device goes. If I understand Vizio correctly, there only happens 1 request to the cloud to fetch updated info, and the rest of the communication is going through local. That means the connection with the device is local.
