Hey Guys. Also wanted to say thanks for trying to keep some type of community of CQC alive! I've been playing with Home Assistant for a couple months now and it feels a lot like the CQC of old where it has a larger DIY community and supports a ton of different devices which I think CQC struggled with near the end especially. I'm also starting to get the hang of the interface and automated events system which seems pretty powerful. I just don't like the UI cards based thing...
I'm heading down the same path as you Kfly where I'll keep CQC as my front end and will be using MQTT or other ways to interface the two systems to keep CQC current/alive. I've had some luck with MQTT but find it a bit cumbersome to setup on the CQC side (text files to config). I just noticed your new REST API driver so am hoping to give that a go as well.
