Could you build this?

Partial A Home Assistant custom integration is standard Python work that vibe coding can produce. However, GlowCast presumably talks to a specific lighting or device protocol, which may need vendor documentation or reverse engineering.

What it would actually take: A real version is a Home Assistant custom component in Python using the config flow and entity platform APIs. The hard part is the device communication layer, which requires the vendor's API or protocol, possibly reverse engineered from traffic, plus access to the physical devices for testing.
