Question: API fully working, also on 2.4.0?

[martin072]

Hi,

I am still on 2.2.4 and noticed 2.4.0 is available with some nice new features that I would like to use. However, I am still using sstadlberger's API and still works fine (I use my own home automation). Can you confirm your version fully compatible and working with 2.4.0?

Thanks!

Hi Martin, yes 2.4.0 comes with a nice feature that implements tapping a sensor twice to activate a scene. I have updated to 2.4.0 today and can confirm that no changes have been made to the protocol (at least no visible). The API works just as before.

Do you use the set or input API endpoints of sstadlberger's API? I have decided to not implement these endpoints as they are actuator specific and hard to maintain for all the different actuators. The raw endpoint (which is implemented by this API) is capable of doing all the things so you may need to change the API endpoints in your implementation a little bit. So basically this API is 100% backwards compatible in terms of features but you may need to change the endpoints.

Sstadlberger's API	freeathome-api
input Endpoint	Removed, use raw Endpoint
set Endpoint	Removed, use raw Endpoint
rawEndpoint	100% backwards-compatible
info Endpoint	100% backwards-compatible (master version from GitHub)
Websocket updates	100% backwards-compatible

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I am using the set option in an url to set lights. Further more I am also using the websocket to query status of the heating system and light states.

Ok, got it. Changing the set endpoint to the equivalent raw endpoint should be done in a few minutes. Queries via Websocket are also supported.

Thanks. Will plan an upgrade for next weekend as I am not at home for a little while, and don't want to mess up the system now ;)
