Setting up API

[Tangston311]

I'm new to this so apologies for the basic questions here, but I'm trying to get my Infinitude instance linked up to Homebridge via something like the homebridge-thermostat, but I'm having trouble getting it working and could use some guidance to get me started.

The thermostat plugin calls for an API Route that provides thermostat info, target heating/cooling state, target temp, and target humidity (example of thermostat info below):

GET /status { targetHeatingCoolingState: INT_VALUE_0_TO_3, targetTemperature: FLOAT_VALUE, targetRelativeHumidity: FLOAT_VALUE, currentHeatingCoolingState: INT_VALUE_0_TO_2, currentTemperature: FLOAT_VALUE, //prev temperature currentRelativeHumidity: FLOAT_VALUE_AS_PERCENTAGE //prev humidity }

I tried simply using "http://[infinitude IP]:3000/api/config" for the API route, but all the calls don't return any values. I've obviously got some more setup to do, but I'm not sure where to start. Do I need to set up a separate API json file in the Infinitude folder that converts the Infinitude endpoints into the format above? Any advice would go a long way just so I know where to begin!

If Infinitude is configured properly then /api/config should return your thermostat configuration in json format. Have you setup your thermostat to proxy thru Infinitude yet? What does the main infinitude interface look like?

Yep the thermostat is set to proxy through Infinitude and the web interface is updating and showing correctly, and commands I put into the interface properly reflect back to the thermostat.

So that bit is working just fine, but I can't seem to connect it to the Homebridge plugin via the API. Do you think the /api/config return values that would be compatible with the API requirements listed by the Homebridge-Thermostat plugin?:

Get any thermostat info GET /status { targetHeatingCoolingState: INT_VALUE_0_TO_3, targetTemperature: FLOAT_VALUE, targetRelativeHumidity: FLOAT_VALUE, currentHeatingCoolingState: INT_VALUE_0_TO_2, currentTemperature: FLOAT_VALUE, //prev temperature currentRelativeHumidity: FLOAT_VALUE_AS_PERCENTAGE //prev humidity }

Set target HeatingCoolingState GET /targetHeatingCoolingState/{INT_VALUE_0_TO_3} OK (201)

Set target temperature GET /targetTemperature/{FLOAT_VALUE} OK (201)

Set target relative humidity GET /targetRelativeHumidity/{FLOAT_VALUE} OK (201)

A mapping could be made into these values, but it wouldn't JustWork™ with homebridge by default. I assume homebridge has some kind of way to write a mapping plugin. @MizterB has kindly put together a home assistant plugin that works fairly well too https://github.com/MizterB/homeassistant-infinitude.
