An esp32, a mqtt node and iftt hooked up to google/Siri goes a long way
I just want some way for devices to publish/report their model numbers and what features they offer/support so everything can auto-configure itself rather than requiring me to manually set MQTT paths/filters/parsers for every device I get.
Then dashboards/controllers (who should also auto discover the server via the same method) should be able to send some message to some well-known topic on the server to find all connected devices.
