For hub or flap ? #12

Hello Alex,

Thanks for all the work provided. I'm about to get one of those flap without any hub. Does your php file interact with the hub or with the flap directly ? Do you think it's possible to directly get communication with the flap ?

I might in parallel do my own catflap controlled with a raspberry and few fun stuff, so just digging for options on this project.

Thanks

Neither, the php retrieves the info from the website. Without the hub there is no information on the whereabouts of the cat(s) to be found there.

Direct communications with the flap would be preferable but since there is no documentation nor api... getting the info from the website is the only option now and that requires a hub.
