This is a tad different.
The issue I linked sends out notifications after the maintenance has started.
The feat request I'm making is for the maintenance to play or pause depending on calls from external devices / services.

Indeded, I misunderstood you.
So you want an api to create/edit a certain maintenance?
This is tracked in #118 instead => please see https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/3854 for the current status of this
