Feature request: Eve History #245

Closed edelmaca closed 1 year ago

Would it be possible to unlock/add the Eve history feature for HKKNX Devices? Added devices with this Homebridge plugin can get this. Maybe this can help unlock the feature here as well. (https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-hue)

The main reasons this is not implemented yet is, that the protocol is proprietary. Meaning that there is no official documentation of the communication payloads sent between the accessories (hkknx) and the client (HomeKit). Also only a limited number of apps (Home+, Eve) are currently showing this kind of data. The Apple Home app does not support it.

The main point of hkknx always was that you don't need a third-party app to control the accessories.

I'm aware that this feature is very compelling. That's why I've proposed #242
