+# Home Assistant Event Proxy
+
+I found getting MQTT message sending on the pico MCP to be too trickey. I built this event proxy go app to simplify things.
+With it in place the MCP only needs to send a very simple TCP message like "M01,25.5,60,1013". This this proxy app with
+convert it into a Home Assistant MQTT event.
+
