Local polling via MQTT to Home Assistant #67

Closed tmh88 closed 2 weeks ago

tmh88 commented 1 month ago

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice if we could have local polling via MQTT to home assistant.

Reading the information, it looks like some work has been done already. How can we as a community help the dev to implement this?

I'm happy to help with the development

Is this different to #28 (which proposes a WebSocket connection)? I wasn't aware of any MQTT support - could you link to a reference?

lenard-a commented 1 month ago

I think @tmh88 was referring to this part in the Improvement ideas section of the readme file:

We know the spa talks directly to the cloud using MQTT. Traffic captures against the Android app appeared to show only HTTPS traffic.

Ah I see. I made that comment quite a while ago - I even wonder whether I actually meant WebSocket when I wrote that. I suggest we keep the discussion about alternative comms methods in #28. Clearly a change to some other more reliable and ideally local communication method would be great, however it requires significant research and a rewrite of a large portion of the integration. I certainly don't have time for that right now, but happy to see discussion on the topic.
