Hi, has anyone written some middleware to present an mqtt interface to control a connected device?

Alternatively is there a dashboard with a rest API?

GianCann commented

With the first version I haved used the Rest API (written from another guy) with Node-Red and MQTT.
I try to find the repository, but I'm not sure if it work also with the latest implementation of @nathankellenicki library.

What I found was a real http server that interfaced with nathan's library.
I'm trying to recover the info (these are experiments done a long time ago)

@anthonyangel What's your project?

anthonyangel commented

@GianCann I'd like to control a Duplo train from Home Assistant - there's a couple of things I'm thinking of doing with it:

  • Control via Google Home / Alexa
  • Having the state of the train (e.g. when it runs over an action brick) trigger other hardware (so I can sync the train lights with a lifx bulb, or the speakers with a Sonos)

😄 I also use Home Assistant ;)

I figured that this is possible, so why not try. I'll work out properly what to do with it once it works!
