| Vestaboard API feature request | Issue | project |
GitHub issue #48 (opened 2026-06-04 by ze-conehead) requests implementing the Vestaboard Local API so existing Vestaboard-compatible tools work with splitflap-os. Main value is the Home Assistant Vestaboard integration.
Key endpoints: POST /local-api/message (send 2D char code array), GET /local-api/message (read current state), POST /local-api/enablement (enable API). Auth via X-Vestaboard-Local-Api-Key header — can skip for now per requester.
Vestaboard uses custom character codes (A-Z → 1-26, digits → 27-36, colors 63-70). Grid: 6×22 (Flagship) or 3×15 (Note, matches splitflap default).
Why: Unlocks HA Vestaboard integration without writing a custom HA component.
How to apply: When implementing, focus on the 3×15 Note form factor mapping. Need a translation layer between Vestaboard char codes and splitflap's FLAP_CHARS.
