a SKILL for Mycroft
My home rolling shutters are radio controlled by remotes. I use a Wemos D1 mini (ESP8266) in order to simulate one pushing the switches on a remote. The Wemos D1 mini is listening for a GET on its port 80. A command is transmitted through text in the URI. This works fine from desktop using browser or from Android devices (smartphone or tablet) using an API I wrote thanks to Thunkable. It was too difficult to resist doing the same with Mycroft !
