Antenna Switch Control?

[vazquezrodjoel]

Something I have in plans in the near future is to add an remote antenna switch to my setup, you know, single coax line to a selection of multiple antennas. But I'm planning on building one with a ESP32 or ESP8266 development board. That way I can control it over network (either wifi or ethernet). Once setup I could trigger switching the antenna (relay) with an HTTP request. something like:

curl -s 192.168.1.5/api/v1/select/2

that will select antenna port #2 for example. Doesn't need to be this way, but something similar.

This web page has the code for the concept:

Could that be added to the Antennas tab on the Equipment? To add the option to setup a query URL for each antenna, and the "n" amount of buttons for each one, maybe on the rig section or on a new window just for the antenna, so we can push the button and select the antenna (which would also update the "Antenna" field on "My Station" tab?

I really don't know if there is any Log that does this. Maybe there is, but don't think there are many in such case.
