Add support for Control4 Rooms
Is their a reason this pull request hasn't been merged? Is the project stalled? It seems that room integration is big feature for media control and I would like to contribute to home assistant by including room control using pycontrol4 assuming the request is merged.
Additionally, I have noticed that this is not integrated with the websocket implementation it seems that the websocket cannot subscribe to room updates. Is there a way I can test and get my own websocket working through trial and error. What were the steps taken to capture api and websocket messages?
The websocket API seemed to require some unique handshake process to fully connect. Beyond that, the two methods seemed functionally similar and I didnt need any time-sensitive push updates into HA. It was a bit easier to just use the REST API, especially since the rest of this library was using that as well.
To reverse engineer the API, I had to MITM the android app installed on an old android phone I had lying around - I needed to rebuild the apk with custom CA certs and use BurpSuite Community edition to intercept the API calls from the app. Unfortunately I dont recall the exact set of steps, I just remember it was a bit of a pain, but there are tutorials out there since this is a pretty common need for app developers
+1 re: the merge question. In the meantime, I've been using a local install of this plugin+the HA integration I wrote. I can probably get those HA changes cleaned up and PR'd if that'd be helpful
Thank you. Yeah I installed your library and was able to change to current HA plugin to support my media rooms for source and volume/power control using the current polling approach. It would be better to be push and not as hard coded.
I noticed that you have forked the home assistant core and modified the control4 integration there. What features have you got working since I have a version that I made a while back but is pretty bare bones and diy. If you need someone to help test it let me know.
