    I, for one, am looking forward to a plugin to do this with OpenWRT and Home Assistant for my own purposes.

        Yeah, I found that one. Still, I’d prefer it to be built into my WAPs instead of having to use separate hardware, even if I do have extra ESP32s sitting around.

        I mean, maybe if I could just tack it on as an extra function on some other device I was already going to be using an ESP32 in, but (especially in microcontroller-land as opposed to full preemptively-multitasking PC land) that sounds like maybe more complexity than I want to deal with.
