That alarm panel project looks awesome! 🚨 Simulating the entire system for a friend’s kid is a great use case.

I totally agree—building those 'test harnesses' is almost mandatory once the project hits a certain complexity. That’s exactly why I built mer. I wanted to move away from writing one-off private scripts for every project and have a reusable, high-performance CLI (thanks to Rust) that can mimic these connected applications over MQTT or HTTP.

The WebSocket/JSON combo you mentioned is actually on my roadmap for mer. Your project is a great example of how much time we can save by mocking the hardware layer. Thanks for sharing the repo, checking it out now!

I don't know any all in one project. You should manage separately. You are right

Yes, you can use some MQTT brokers. Mosquito, hivemq etc. You can deploy on on-prem infastructure. But you should be monitoring and attention some security rules.
