SOMFY access to scene

[jluc2808]

hello, now we could only access single devices with SOMFY-TAHOMA connector, could you add (as with harmony activities)) a connector to access SOMFY-TAHOMA scene

[bwssytems]

I'll need some help on the API to call the scene.

[jluc2808]

What would you like I could do to help?

[bwssytems]

what does the http call look like to trigger the scene and how do you get a list of all scenes?

[NovaGL]

Are you able to support connexoon (for APAC) also. I can give you the URL to use.

[bwssytems]

@NovaGL IS that a Somfy API?

[NovaGL]

I couldn't get the offical Somfy API to work. So I am just doing HTTP Post commands. How are you doing it?

[bwssytems]

They are just the http commands. Also, I did not write this plugin, so the api may have changed over time as well.

[jluc2808]

i have asked somfy for the api documentation and especially the scene list and scene start/stop command

otherwise i did connected to somfy api/doc which provide some exemple of request / auth for devices https://developer.somfy.com/somfy-open-api/apis this work well and is already implemented in HA bridge but i don't find the same for scene ==> my demand to somfy contact

as soon as i get a response i will post

I couldn't get the offical Somfy API to work. So I am just doing HTTP Post commands. How are you doing it?

you have to go to https://developer.somfy.com/somfy-open-api/apis then open one of the get API and open the OAurh2.0 connect to your somfy account (the one with connexoon or tahoma) and accept to establish the authentication to your account this will establish the auth2.0 passcode (which is needed to run any somfy API) to test then API i'm using RestClient and i use the header authentication which is return by the Auth2.0 popup

[NovaGL]

I did that but it doesn't show any devices.

[jluc2808]

what is contents of the response ? and did you got any response from the connection popup to somfy ?

[NovaGL]

It logs me in but the response is []

[jluc2808]

when you receive the login response did you got an Auth2.0 passcode ?

[NovaGL]

Yes. But just doing it all from the somfy site.

[jluc2808]

ok get back to the beginning when you are one https://developer.somfy.com/somfy-open-api/apis/get/site-0 you hit the OAuth2.0 set ==> you receive a popup REQUEST SOMFY-OPEN-API PERMISSIONS with remember for 30 days checked, then when you say OK you have to login to your somfy account this take a while and you will receive a response with the WWW-Authenticate setted and the site number

then you use https://developer.somfy.com/somfy-open-api/apis/get/site/%7BsiteId%7D/device you need to add your siteNb in the request https://api.somfy.com/api/v1/site/{b663b017-812fccd0-07019107-xxxxxxxx}/device and you need to have the Oauth2.0 setted as authenticated

[NovaGL]

I did look up sites and came up with nothing. I didn't realise the site id was in the response of the first message.

I guess what I want to know is how could we intergrate this into HA-Bridge?

[jluc2808]

i thought the mecanism to somfy devices (tag) is already implemented in Ha-bridge (auth, get siteId, get list of deviceId) to get the auth2.0 it's described in https://developer.somfy.com/apis-docs with the WWW-Authenticate setted in http request header, you will get the siteId, then list of deviceId

[NovaGL]

Ha bridge goes to the tahoma link site. I'll get the latest version from this repo to confirm

[jluc2808]

warning, i don't now why, but the last update of somfy need to clear all cache, data and navigation (cookies, data, image, files, ....) the bug is : when you want to connect to somfy account nothing append and you can't login

[jluc2808]

i have asked the question of the support for scenario with the API directly to somfy : the answer is "L’API ne supporte pas encore les scénarios. Notre newsletter vous notifiera le jour où nous ajoutons cette fonction." The API doesn't support yet scenario. Our Newsletter will notice you when this functionnality will be added.

[bwssytems]

So scenes are not yest supported by the api as I understand in your post. Also, Should the api site now be somfy.com instead of tahoma.com?

[jluc2808]

yes the api is https://api.somfy.com/api/v1/site and yes scenes are not yet supported by the api

[bwssytems]

So, should we switch to the somfy api site or keep it with tahomalink?

[jluc2808]

i will ask somfy support

[jluc2808]

ok i got an answser from somfy support: Q: "Moreover, we have a development that uses so far tahomalink, should we switch to somfy API or can we stay (durability?) on tahomalink?"

R: "The terms of use of the tahomalink API will evolve before the end of the year. We will try to notify all customers of this API but because they are not currently declared, you may be aware of service interruptions. If this is the case, contact me. So I advise you to keep your development with this API in a drawer and stay ready to bring it out in a while, at the Delta of some changes."

[bwssytems]

So, as I read that, we should stay with tahomalink as the newer somfy API is going through development.

[bwssytems]

I have not seen any updates on the new Somfy API and the last ones are dated May 2018. It's been a year, I assume this is dead.
