Firing Action/Status URLs

Configuration
1

I am new to HA, and it is a little bit daunting, however before HA, I built a number of ESP8266s that have simple URLs for status, turn things off and on, etc. I also have Shelly devices that work the same way. I created a web page to execute them all, but I’d like to integrate them into HA. I didn’t see anything in the add-on store. It seems like a simple task, but I can’t sort it.
Thanks

it’s going to help if your data is returned in a standard format, like JSON.

Thanks, I can go reprogram my esp8266s to return json instead of just text. Or I can proxy the esps with a local URL served by the pi that will deliver json. Thanks again.

If you’re going to reprogram them you could use ESPHome. Its API integrates very well with home assistant discovery. All your sensors are defined with easy yaml.

Agreed. Esphome is awesome.
