A highly overengineered, extensible project for listening to syslog events, parsing out device ids, and updating OpenHAB items.
After getting frustrated that Google Routines (Ok Google, you already know I'm #@%$ing home!) still required me to vocally announce my presence and MikroTik scirpting not quite as responsive as I'd like (you can poll the logs with a schedule), I figured I could write a syslog listener and got entirely carried away.

Whilst only MikroTik endpoints are currently supported, with a little work this could be expanded and has been written with that in mind.
