Both my ESP-Env sensors and actors as well as the Node-RED automation are interfacing to the network using MQTT.
This allows easy control using for example the mosquitto_pub MQTT command line client. With these four commands I'm overriding my Node-RED controlled bathroom light automation.
mosquitto_pub -h $HOSTNAME -u $USERNAME -P $PASSWORD -t bathroom/force_light -r -m none mosquitto_pub -h $HOSTNAME -u $USERNAME -P $PASSWORD -t bathroom/force_light -r -m big mosquitto_pub -h $HOSTNAME -u $USERNAME -P $PASSWORD -t bathroom/force_light -r -m small mosquitto_pub -h $HOSTNAME -u $USERNAME -P $PASSWORD -t bathroom/force_light -r -m off
At the same time the environment sensors also publish their measurements to the corresponding MQTT topics.
To have a central place where these settings can be viewed and changed, not only for me but also for guests, I decided to write a small interactive web interface. It interfaces to the MQTT broker using WebSockets. Unfortunately this only seems to work with Chromium, not Firefox.
You can find the source code on Codeberg. I also added the installation and setup instructions to my ansible scripts.
