I tried to get involved in Peter's project but I missed the boat and am on his list to try when it comes to Beta. Then, I saw your "announce." Looks intriguing. I just don't understand all of the moving parts. I may try poking around with MQTT just to know what "you kids" speak of. ;) It's not that I don't want to learn anything new. Actually, if I had the time like I used to, I would love the challenge. I just don't. And a lot of things that I am interested in anymore not only require me to teach an old dog (ME) new tricks (which would be fine again if I had the time), but a lot of the time it requires learning multiple tricks which goes back to the time issue. I just wish I had more of it like I used to. Life is so much more complicated than it used to be when I was in my 20s, 30s, 40s, ..?? My wife had cancer last year (she's okay now) and my dad now has it (again). But I may try to learn if/when. There has to be "more" to Alexa and not being able to control LMS is a major turnoff. Too bad Logitech didn't stick with it longer.
