Very kind of you! 
I understand your concerns and I will try to setup a dev environment in the next days and debug the code, perhaps I am not completely lost and can support you with maintaining.
Am I the only one who is missing the private message button? I also tried to shutdown my adblocker, but it still remains hiddenā¦where do I find it?
Cool!
Indeed i use Node-Red, but only for complex automations.
I will give it a try, but I think I would prefer the custom-integration solution because I want to keep the Node-Red side as small as possible.

Iām also thinking nabu Casa is going commercial more and more.
They have their core paid developers, the home assistant Blue and yellow, price increase, ā¦
In the end, itās probably a product like homey.
With their hardware and hassos and a few core integrationsā¦ and, if your product is not maintained by nabu Casa, you have to hope some Else creaties an integration.
Hacs is probably used for that.
I hope one time, someone forks haā¦

people having been saying this since Nabu Casa inception, still hasnt happened. put the tinfoil away
Well, exactly. Not sure what your expectations are, but surprisingly few of the core integrations were created by (current) core developers.
Yes it does and somewhere Iāve got (at least I think I still do) a small paperback sized box with some floppy disks and a spiral bound manual for something called āPocket APLā.
And as weāre reminiscing I go back to MVS Assembler too and yeah, waiting till the next day just to find out if your code compiled seems really weird now.
EDIT: I should apologise. I was late reading this thread (Iām not even sure why I did 
)
When I got to the old timers chat I thought maybe everyone had moved on so decided to chip in.
@koying (sorry for the tagā¦) I did a lot of Pl/1 programming in a big UK bank and then an airline so it was used!!

I mourn the lack of COBOL in modern systems.
Canāt say that I do 
Actually, while itās fun to look back and see where we come from, I canāt say I miss anything from āthe good olādaysā
I was never a big fan of COBOL, but at least it was easy to read and figure out someone elseās code. This came in real handy during the Y2K push.
Iām going to get a lot of hate for saying this, but I think the pendulum swung too far the other way with C and many subsequent languages. The push to obfuscate and make programming as cryptic as possible serves only to bolster the coderās ego. If youāre going that route, you might as well stay down in assembler where at least itās efficient. Human-readability is the whole point of higher level languages.

Today the internet taught me that the evolution of programming languages was never for abstraction and specialization, it was exclusively for obfuscation in order to feed egos.

Just a matter of habits.
I bet a COBOL program is unreadable for people accustomed to the likes of C / C++ / Java , especially if it uses programmatic trees as it should 
C++ programmer here, no prior exposure to COBOL, can confirm 
I just Googled some COBOL examples (never really seen any before)ā¦ What the hell is that thing, that looks like some weird mix of ASM and SQL. I admire you guys who actually were able to do anything productive with thatā¦ thing 
On a more serious side note, the inherent complexity of software has exploded by several orders of magnitude since the times of COBOL & co, as has the amount of software used, so the move to ever higher level languages is just something natural and inevitable. Imagine having to emergency patch a vulnerability in a COBOL codebase of several tens of millions of lines of code.

Yeah. By the standards of today (think HA), those programs were ridiculously simple.
LOL my reference to COBOL was meant to be ironic, but I probably should have added a smiley 
Haha, yeah, you definitely should have
