Happy to help. Have you tried Home Assistant as well? It's pretty good for personal use cases and such.

Has anyone tried Home Assistant to get around things like this? Or are you locked in proprietary technology anyways?

Do you know if anyone is writing a HomeAssistant integration for this?

You need home assistant or something silmilar. It's more of a hobby than a convenience though ;)

No need for that mate, just deploy home assistant or something similar and you will get this (and more) out of the box
