That's an interesting piece of hardware and would certainly be a cool addition! Maybe I can get one of those for myself and then develop an integration.

@jaburges I think what @gbdavidx is referring to is the [Ansible setup](https://www.room-assistant.io/guide/quickstart-ansible.html), which is CLI only. What you are describing sounds more like #261 for me though. Currently there is...

Originally I decided to go with ansible since this lets a specialized tool handle the deployment and config management instead of complicating the room-assistant codebase. You raise a good point...

I like the idea and I think this should be possible with the APIs that HA provides (but not super straight forward). I don't think that this will be something...

I actually had it on my list to provide a better HTTP REST API for room-assistant that other tools could also hook into - would that also work for your...

The groundwork for the API is there, but it only has one endpoint atm: `:6415/entities` list the states for all entities as JSON. There is no documentation since the API...

I've developed an [Ansible playbook](https://www.room-assistant.io/guide/quickstart-ansible.html) that gives you centralized management features - I figured it's best to leave such tasks to the tools built to do them rather than putting...

I re-opened the issue for transparency. I believe this won't be handled as fixes to the current mechanism though. Instead, #780 seems like the best way forward to me.

I agree that this would be great from a UX point of view - it would give the users something that "just runs" on Android. It's not on my immediate...
