Nice job on this! But I'm not sure I understand how it works. How did you get access to Emporia servers? Do you have an agreement with them? How is this different than the existing API documented here? I'm not sure why their forum moderator always claims that they don't have an API, because it seems like they have had this one for years. |

Hi @BenJewell, I reverse-engineered their website to obtain the data needed for the API. This allows me to make the solution more user-friendly. I want to mention that I have reached out to them and obtained their permission, so it is legal to do this. The key difference between magico13/PyEmVue and my implementation is that mine is cloud-based. With my solution, you don't need to host it yourself—it's essentially plug-and-play. With Emporia Connect, there's no need to worry about managing a local instance, as it's always available and running in the cloud. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask! |
