I can take advantage of the private network created via wireguard to allow the server to connected back to individual reactors and then intiate gRPC calls.
**Pros**
- This *VASTLY* simplifies the implementation as I can now connect back to the reactors themselves
- from there, I can implement various functions I will need server side
- i.e. GetName() SetName() etc.
**Cons**
- I will eventually need to build the wiregaurd implementation
- although because its all local network for now, I can plug and play down the road
### TODO
- refactor packages to provide a cleaner interface via simple commands as opposed to the convoluted passing structure that was present with the old I2C library
- start working on the interface between the websocket and the reactor
- react side this is the actual content that will be rendered by the client
- server side this will be a connection to a reactor with the gRPC calls
- moving monitoring functionality to the reactor
- refactoring to use streaming functionality to avoid needing to re initiate request
- have server connect each reactor manager to the rlc
- have the reactor manager ping for server info
- handle disconnects via exit
- sets up cleaner device handling via multiplexing
It's time to refactor the current protobuf stuff to make more sense from the servers perspective. In this sense, I am going to have the reactor provide connection details to the server on connect, and then the server can connect/disconnect at will.
### Outline
- Update the server to connect to the reactor itself for the information
- Decide what information is important enough to send to the server consistently, vs what only is needed upon "further inspection"
- need reactor information on connect
- need basic device information such as address and status
- when selected
- need specific device breakouts with advanced functions per device
- this can be multiplexed over the same gRPC connection and can be fulfilled by the device coordinator
- dc will catch all incoming requests and forward to the correct DM based on address
### TODO
- reverse monitoring stuff
- make it so reactor manager has a timeout/ recognizes disconnects gracefully
- convert monitoring to a stream as opposed to consistent calls
