Support for remote serial #22

Closed mattsaxon closed 2 years ago

mattsaxon commented 2 years ago

Decide how to support a remote MZC device from the HA device.

Consider;

Using rfc 2217 (which is supported by pyserial)
Using MQTT to a custom firmware on an ESP32

Ideally using rfc2217 is the way to go, but given the chattiness of the (pesudo) xonxoff protocol, this may not be as nice as remote commands via MQTT which should be less chatty

@sjeffrey101 comments that RFC2217 may be unnecessarily complex and we can use a raw TCP/IP stream, which is also supported by pyserial. Given this approach, the MQTT approach should be unnecessary

Verified that we don't need custom solution and works with off the shelf remote serial.
