Thanks to all who responded to my query. I’ll have to check those devices that can run Tasmota. Insteon is not super-flawed, but it bugs me they never improved their quality, aesthetics or price in all the years I’ve been using it. It could have been so much better.

While you can talk to those over MQTT, then you also need to setup a broker, and that seems awkward in a world where all the smart things have web interfaces. >> >> So that got me thinking about building a "Tasmota_HTTP_Item" in MH. There is already support for SETting things in MH using HTTP via the lib/http_server.pl code. Tasmota devices can send updates using HTTP, as in this example: >> >> https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Rules/#two-way-light-switches-without-mqtt >> >> So combining those two would result in a rule for local switch control on the Tasmota with a command like: >> >> WebSend [<mh_ip_address>:8081] /SET;none?select_item=Tasmota_Item_Name&select_state=on >> >> And for remote control, MH would send a command like this when an item is set: >> >> get 'http://<tasmota_item_ip>/cm?cmnd=POWER1 ON' >> >> The only other thing is that the "set" function for the Tasmota_Item would need to check if the item was set_by: >> >> web [<tasmota_item_ip_address>] >> >> ...and then not send anything in that case so it doesn't end up in a send loop with the Tasmota device. >> >> Anyone tried anything like that?
