Tasmota: Bi directional REST API

[smhgit]

ASFAIK you can send REST API to the sonoff but you cannot get information from sonoff via REST API.

Is there a plan to add REST API support from Sonoff device?

?
Executing http://sonoff/cm?cmnd=status%202 returns
STATUS2 = {"StatusFWR":{"Version":"5.9.1b","BuildDateTime":"2017-11-08T16:18:36","Boot":31,"Core":"2_3_0","SDK":"1.5.3(aec24ac9)"}}

Looks good to me.

@arendst yes, you get a response, but if you press a button on the sonoff, does it send the state vi REST API ?

[davidelang]

so you are asking for the ability to send out messages via REST calls rather
than just be able to retrieve status via REST calls.

I think that's going to get the same answer as the recent question about doing
the same thing via HTTP calls, it would take too much code space to fit, so not
an option.

you would need to fork the firmware and replace all MQTT functionality with your
REST functionality. The refactoring would probably be a good thing, and that may
result in something that can be at least a compile-time option.

But you will have to invent and define your REST protocol to replace the MQTT
functionality.
