Compatability with Home Assistant? #10

Open skynet01 opened 2 months ago

skynet01 commented 2 months ago

Would love to dive into this project but wanted to check to see if it's possible to make it compatible with Home Assistant? Maybe Split-Flap can receive messages on MQTT protocol? Or have a version of this firmware running on ESPHome?

The use case is that with Home Assistant it makes it REALLY easy to automate this for messages, notifications, sensor information etc.

Found an mqtt version here: https://github.com/nctiggy/split-flap-mqtt maybe they can be merged?

@skynet01 - Hello! You beat me to sending that link!

It is something I've considered doing but personally didn't have much use for myself as I don't run a HomeAssistant instance at home so left the idea on the backburner in favour of other projects.

It is something I can potentially look into if I manage to get some time in future, from what I've seen the implementation doesn't look too bad, and happy to post back here if I am making progress on it.

Happy to consider a PR potentially otherwise if capable!
