I’ve been exploring the integration of my HCL setup with the Sonoff BasicR3 through REST API, and I must say, it’s been a fascinating journey! While I initially wondered if my HCL could seamlessly work with REST API, I’m thrilled to share that with a bit of research and tweaking, it’s been a breeze. Though I encountered a minor hiccup with the lack of LUA support in my HCL, I found alternative solutions that worked perfectly. 
For those looking to integrate similar devices, I’d highly recommend starting with the REST API approach. It offers a straightforward way to control your devices without needing to dive deep into more complex scripting. If you’re curious about how I managed to bypass the LUA dependency, feel free to ask—I’d be happy to share my workaround!
This experience has really highlighted the versatility of HCL and how it can adapt to different ecosystems. It’s also reminded me how important it is to keep exploring and experimenting with new integrations—it’s not just about functionality, but also about discovering new ways to enhance your smart home setup!
Happy integrating everyone!
