Proposal: Add Socat #57

Proposing that socat be added to the container. Then allow a variable to be passed to call socat on boot before the zwave daemon starts.

An example socat call would be: socat PTY,link=/dev/zwave,raw,group=root,mode=777 TCP::7676

We would want to pass as a variable.

This would enable people to use zwave as serial devices over IP. If someone had a zwave stick on a raspberry pi or maybe they have a vera; this would enable the device to be passed to the zwave2mqtt addon.

+1 I run Home Assistant within Hyper-V so no direct access to local ports. My Z-wave stick is on Raspberry Pi.

Noone is looking at this request. This shouldn't be stale.

I'm not adding this level of logic to the add-ons. In general, if you need these solutions, it would be better to run ZWave2MQTT itself on a separate device.
