Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I want to communicate with [FluidNC](https://github.com/bdring/FluidNC) over WiFi (I want to use the web interface so I don't want to go with BLE). That requires a telnet or WebSockets client but I can't find one.
It would be also amazing to have FluidNC sensors/outputs (like coordinates, alarms, coolant input, e-stop, door, etc.) but I don't ask for that much
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I've created a simple pendant (aka remote control) that has some buttons, a rotary encoder and a screen and I want to see all the stats and be able to do actions (mainly send G-Code)
**Additional context**

Research direction
Start by reviewing the FluidNC communication options named in the request—telnet and WebSockets—and how the proposed pendant would send G-Code and receive status. Define the supported connection path and the minimum completed behavior before investigating whether sensor and output reporting is included.
