I am working on a service that would receive payments through lightning and would need to use a static lnurl-pay QR code (no screen available). When payment is received I would like some automated action to occur (like flip a switch, I would check for payment via api + polling, websockets or anything like that).

I am having a difficult time understanding what is the minimum I need to setup the payment address that I can then monitor when is it paid. I would like to avoid having to run my own lightning node, as that brings additional server management + funding requirements.

Any suggestions where to start?
