Support for remote flashing or via Home Assistant #5

I access my home assistant remotely in the browser, i.e., it's not hosted on the machine I run my web browser on. Is there any chance you could support this use case of flashing a remote device? Alternatively, an even better option would be to have SL web tools integrated into Home Assistant so one can update the firmware from within the user interface.

The web tools require the SkyConnect to be plugged straight into the computer accessing the website. It isn't possible to connect to a remote serial port.

The web tools are actually just a browser-based wrapper around https://github.com/NabuCasa/universal-silabs-flasher, which can be installed within Home Assistant OS and used to flash firmware remotely.
