jovial knot
Greetings, I'm brand-new to the community so apologies if I have picked the wrong channel.
I am the leader of an open source project called Sandman, which makes it possible to control a hospital style bed by voice. This currently works on a Raspberry Pi by using custom software/hardware and Rhasspy. I would like to add full support for Home Assistant as well. Ideally, Home Assistant would be able to discover and control Sandman-adapted beds in the home as easily as discovering a smart light.
I have been trying to read the developer documentation, but because I'm so new I haven't fully wrapped my head around all of the concepts. I would appreciate any help, but I think in order to accomplish these goals I'm going to need to break down things into more manageable chunks and hope to get advice on how to get started.
I think this is going to involve at least a new bed entity and device, as well as perhaps a Sandman bed integration? I know I will need to do something on the Sandman side to support communication with Home Assistant, but I don't know what form that would ideally take.
Thank you in advance!
