How figure out before buy if device is supported (ie v1 or v2) #145

Closed elbowz closed 1 year ago

elbowz commented 3 years ago

I should buy a washer (LG ThinQ F4WT409AIDD), but I would like know before buy it, if it's supported (use API v1) or not (use API v2).

Sorry, if the question is already done elsewhere, but I haven't found it.

Thanks for this great project :)

There is no way to know before you try (or ask another user that have the same init) . New appliances are more likely to have v2

By new I mean the date introduced to the market

Thank @MattL0!

More or less it was released on august 2020, so quite new I guess.

Are there some feature available only on v2 version or vice versa (eg. Google assistant support or something other), for inference the api version?

For what I read from this project, the support to v2 will be introduced in the future, so in case it is not supported, it will be added in the future? Can the v2 support be implemented or is there some technical issue/trouble that don't allow the implementation (eg. encryption, keys, closed protocol)?

Maybe a wiki page with the supported devices, feed by users experience, can be useful?
