Usage

With this custom component you can be able call an api from the front end UI to avoid CORS.

1. In Cards if you have a functionality to call an api(eg: http://192.168.0.54/cm?cmnd=power1) then it will cause CORS issue since the domain is different from the homeassistant.local:8123 host.
2. Instead of calling the api directly just call the home assistant script first http://homeassistant.local:8123/customapi/tasmota?ip=192.168.0.54&power=1 , then in the home assistant script handle the logic to call the exact api and return the response.
3. This api is created exactly to handle the tasmota pulsetime scenerio. You can change the logic as per your requirement.
4. Happy Coding!!!!!.
