WTH is there no RESTful API. Maybe with web socket support?

Month of "What the heck?!"

I would like to build my own fully native app for my home. Would be nice if there was an api for doing this. Some thoughts….

  • RESTful json
  • Subscribe to entity changes over websockets
  • Perhaps even dashboard/lovelace support? Could try recreating dashboard in native code.
