Feature Request: Go to channel endpoint

[farooqu]

A possibly useful feature would be to have an endpoint that allows you to specify a channel to go to, something like:

POST harmony-api/hub/:hubSlug/command/tune/13.1

This would have to check that all of the keys are available, and then to send actions for all of them. This seems kind of out of place with the rest of the endpoints, but might be useful. Though I can see an argument for not including it in harmony-api, and rather relying on the caller to send individual commands. Though including it would facilitate one single request, rather than 3 or more, and would also allow for better IFTTT integration.

I'm willing to implement this in my fork and create a pull request, but wanted some feedback before I started.

I'm not really interested in that tbh. This was never meant to be a remote control per se.

What could be more interesting though, is macros. Kind of like the presets in node-sonos-http-api.

You could write them in json, and trigger them by name. Then harmony-api could have control over the timing of the execution of the commands. Then you could just pre-program it to do anything you wanted. Again, this is still quite the feature creep, but it's a more open implementation.

If you're fine with adding macros I can get started on it.
