Enhancement: Car Guard sensors #31

Open apercrcl01 opened 2 years ago

apercrcl01 commented 2 years ago

Would including car guard sensors in this integration be possible? I would be happy to assist in any way that I can. I just picked up 3 of them and would love to have the data in Home Assistant.

Without owning one myself, it would be hard to try to figure out the APIs, how to interpret the data and what can be controlled or just viewed. Ideally, someone that does have access, such as yourself, would be able to update the vivintpy library with the relevant data points and controls.

I can give it a shot, but I am a little new to developing. Would you be willing to give me a couple of tips for authenticating and making an api call with Postman. I'm not sure how to get device information for the car guards?

What type of authorization does it use?

And thank you very much for the invite! That is very helpful!

What type of authorization does it use?

Once you login, it uses a session cookie that is passed on every subsequent call.

You can add me on discord if it would be easier to ask questions that way: natekspencer#6745

Also, make sure you put your sensitive information in "CURRENT VALUE" so it isn't synced and saved to the collection
