ST1000+ support remote buttons though Seatalk interface
(on my previous boat i made RF remote with arduino and TTL->Seatalk converter)
But to control it from openplotter you will need to develop some kind of new software....
with NMEA you only able to send waypoints to ST1000 for "Track" mode and send wind sentences for "Wind Trim" mode (if available)
You can't just rewire NMEA wires from st1000 controller to motor terminals inside ST1000 and connect to pypilot motor controller.
I dont think this is good idea, maybe i am wrong, but there will really unpredictable behavior when ST1000 controller and pypilot will try to control motor at same time
