Embedded Web application

[kelsos]

Add an embedded web application that will use Websockets to implement the notification protocol.
The web application will be used in systems where a native application is not available (iOS/Windows Phone etc).

It sounds great.

I'm a rookie user of home assistant. Maybe some open API can make musicbee be remote by home assistant. And home assistant merged "home bridge", so maybe can use Home App(iOS/apple TV/mac) to remote control musicbee.

Integrations - Home Assistant

Hi @Erimus-Koo I will have a look to see how possible it is to use something like this. Currently, the problem with the API is that it's a pure TCP socket implementation that doesn't talk any standard protocol so it is harder to interface with anything.

[Erimus-Koo]

Thanks for your time. I've tried to read some docs like: Creating your first integration · Home Assistant dev docs, but still many problems.

So I wrote a little service to receive 'key' from computer in LAN, and 'replay' the keys on local, utility/remote_key_service.py. I can remote control the player by media keys now, and home assistant can use command line as buttons. Just some basic feature, play/pause/next/prev. I still look forward to your full-featured web app.

Hey, are you planning on changing the protocol to WebSocket anytime soon?
If not, it might be possible to write a WebSocket server that proxies to the TCP socket.

Hey @nitzanbueno at the moment I am not directly planning to do that. I need to get an initial version of v2.0.0 of the application ready and then I will deal with that.

[nitzanbueno]

OK.
At the moment, I'm working on a websocket proxy server and web client, if you're interested.

[nitzanbueno]

I forked your project and switched SocketServer for a WebSocket server written with Fleck.
I also made a web client to go along with it, if you'd like to take a look.
Thanks for the great work!

Fleck is what I had in mind too. I will take a look when I find time :)
