Quick button to control lights from phone (iOS)

Haha, and I have one installed on my ageing apple thing.

Home Remote does a decent job but I have to use the desktop version to create one or more screens and wire everything up! Or I have to live with manually sending commands to MQTT using an MQTT test tool. Neither are nice.

Really though, what I'm doing isn't as important as knowing just how easy it is to set up a simple API and call it via a button using just native tools and Node-RED. It takes litterally a couple of minutes to set up the API which I can then use and expand the logic of at a whim.

What's more, it even stands up to the Mrs K. test! (well as long as I set it up for her of course). A button on the home screen - as simple a UI as it gets.
