Most things are possible, some things are just rather difficult. Almost all registers are persistent in each instance, which means we have to duplicate them on the master instance and...

Ok, I understand. It's the same problem though as it would require the entities to be added to the entity registry. The entity registry is probably easier to accomplish as...

I might actually give the entity registry an attempt when I'm done with the proxy services. Should be an interesting exercise and having support for `unique_id` is pretty convenient.

I think it might be possible to accomplish this to some extent by supporting the entity registry. When I get some time to experiment, I will prototype support for that....

This is expected. For any of those features to work, the entity must exist in the entity registry and it's not an easy task to accomplish that. It also opens...

@dbroome1978 You Can still control lights (or any other entity) via entity_id. You cannot use device triggers or similar as that requires the entity being added to the entity register...

@genebean I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work. Artwork will not work for media players though, see #48.
