I’m currently in the process of creating a Zaparoo integration for home assistant and I’m looking for some feedback. If you’re not familiar with the project, Zaparoo is the open source universal loading system that lets you launch games and media instantly using physical objects.

What this integration allows you to do from home assistant is launch and stop games, query currently running media, and listen to Zaparoo notifications to trigger automations (eg. if I launch Point Blank on the Mister, turn of the Christmas tree).

As of right now there is no branding (pull request is open to the brands project) and requires installing as a custom repository or manual installation.
