dirigera webpage question #9

Closed pepernut02 closed 3 months ago

pepernut02 commented 3 months ago

Hey there

for my final school project I'm making a webpage from where I can control Iot devices but I barely found any documentation on IKEA API. I read through your documentation but I had a hard time telling which parts I could use in my project.

it would really help if you could provide a simple example, including initial configuration and how to set up, e.g., environment variables to open/close the IKEA smart wall socket.

thanks in advance

Hi @pepernut02!

but I barely found any documentation on IKEA API

I don't think IKEA's internal API is documented anywhere publicly. That's one of the reasons I'm working on this library, so people can integrate their JS/TS apps with the Dirigera hub.

it would really help if you could provide a simple example, including initial configuration and how to set up, e.g., environment variables to open/close the IKEA smart wall socket.

Could you tell me which part of the Quick start in the Readme is that you're having trouble with?

pepernut02 commented 3 months ago

The Readme worked like it should have but i was trying to find a command i could use on that webpage something along the lines of what "shelly" does (http://"ip"/?0turn=on (to turn a device on)) so i can integrate it in code i wrote. and i thought maybe you knew a way since you made this library.

I think I still don't fully understand what exactly you need assistance with, apologies.

Are you're looking for a way to control devices via a REST API? If so, then you can dig into my library's code and construct requests directly to your hub based on that. (For example here's the part which is used for turning an outlet on/off, and here's the part responsible for the base URL and the token header.)

I looked through it but i didn't recognise that was the part i was looking for. Thank you for the help. Have a nice day.
