I want to use a control panel that can provide a simple webpage with device names and a status for each device. The status would either be on or off or a number from 0 to 100. I know I can use HA’s Scraper to read that page. (Especially since, from what I see, it’s either straight text or simple HTML.)
Is there a way to define devices in HA using the information I gather with Scraper?
For instance, if the controller has 2 switches and one variable controller, so it provides a web page like this:
Etching Laser Controller: On
Etching Laser: On
Vent Fan: 35
Can I define these devices in Home Assistant if the only way HA has to read the status for each one is through a web page Scraper can read? I would think that would make automations and checking the status through HA simpler if I could define devices in HA for each of these items, then update the status of the item from what Scraper can retrieve.
