I am running Darkice on a remote RPI and I have a need to check the status of this application service. I wondered whether there was a HA integration/addon that would perform this task?
Currently the ones I have seen only do the hardware monitoring which is not of interest.
Does darkice have an api or support MQTT?
If not, you can create a daemon on the remote RPI whihc would make an MQTT call to the locat HA - or you could also from the local HA use a command_line sensor to grep or tail the syslog on the other PI - when you say external, how external? Outside of your current network?
The rpi is on my local network. I dont believe darkice has any mqtt support, none that I have seen anyway. Thanks for your suggestions
