API so that you can send commands to the application from the outside

Something like an API so that you can send commands to the application from the outside. For example, then the following interaction option would be possible: in HomeAssistant, integration that allows you to display messages or requests on the HomeHabit application, or control the application (switch dashboards, or change some parameter).

Indeed this would be nice. I’ve been using imperihome (now a dead project) for years and it had some nice features like switching dashboards, dim/wake screen through simple API calls remotely.
Example of use case is showing a dashboard with a fullscreen camera widget when there’s movement (triggered by the HA-system) from a camera/PIR or similar.

There’s also the possibility to use a virtualitem (that the app monitors for changes) for remote calls, ie a specific “command” item that changes value according to what you want to achieve like “wakeup” , “play tts” , “show dashboard 1” and so on…
This is maybe easier as you don’t have to create an “API”.
