Allow direct connections to be configured (created/removed) via API

[Smith4545]

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to configure direct connections between devices via API. There are certain cases where where it would be nice to be able to "hardwire" a direct connection via API on-the-fly. For example with an action in Home Assistant (with is by itself out of scope for this issue).

E.g. you want to hardwire a siren to a window contact just for the time when the "alarm system" is switched on. The siren will turn on even if the power is down, which wouldn't happen otherwise. Once the "alarm system" is switched off again the direct connection can be removed again on-the-fly.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is no way to automate direct connections at the moment. The only alternative is basically Selenium (or something similar).

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I can't automate direct connections and can't properly set up alarm systems for a power failure.

I'd like to be able to configure direct connections between devices via API.

Have a look for the official addLink method of the XMLRPC API a CCU/RaspberryMatic supports. See here:

Thus, there is no reason to create an additional API since you can create/modify/delete direct connections using the officially supported XMLRPC API.

P.S: I will therefore move this item to the discussion part for later reference.
