Well check this out, thank you! I was going to before but Tasmota was so dead simple and i had all the logic offboard anyway. But I like some of the points you mentioned that would help with automation of building out new ones. Thanks!

BTW I can’t say enough good stuff about node-red for automation. It has been great. I tie it into into influxdb for telemetry and it has a nice little dashboard feature for process monitoring. All with almost zero code.
