Ow wow, I feel like such an idiot. It's after posting this message that I saw the pdf files in your repository. I will take a look at this. Also, retrieving the key: does this only work in the iphone app or also android ?
Yeah exactly, the docs :) For this plugin I made use of the UDP interface since it doesn't require internet. The Restful API is fairly new, I never tested it. (While writing it comes to mind I did not even add it to the repo. Will do that right away.)
As for the key; I only was able to test it on ios, but I'm certain it works the same for Android. I recall their app was originally designed for Android.
Thank you for your quick response! I currently am unable to generate a API key on the android app. Using the Brel Home app I tried pressing quickly 5 times on the Version number on the settings page but this did not result in an key being displayed. I will install the app on my iPhone, see if this helps I will check the JSON document right away.
If you haven't done so, make sure you have the bridge setup with your app before retrieving the key. I remember having some issues setting up the bridge because it needed a WIFI network dedicated for 2.4G. When you combine it with a 5G network, the hub fails to connect.
I've connected succesfully with the Brel device using the brel app. I can control my devices too. The wifi is 2.4ghz indeed. I do see that the app differs from the documentation (connector app) where I am using the Brel Home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.id3.icurtain.brel&hl=nl&gl=US Which app are you using?
The Brel app. I couldn't get the connector app to work. Instead of tapping 5 times, perhaps try tapping the version number like a maniac ;)
At first I used a rather hard-coded script for sending commands to the Hub. I have added it to the docs folder in the repo. Maybe it's helpfull
I will take a lookt at the script, thank you very much!
In the meantime I've bashed the version number like a maniac on steroids but still am unable to get a key from the app.
For the sake if science I've posted a screenshot from the app where I'm poking the version number at:
I assume, since I could not find any other location displaying the version number, this is the right place. Right?
Yes thats where I got it from. Check my screen. Well... I would fire-off an email to Brel. I know for a fact the tech-person is on Android, he should be able to help you out. And if you do, please share the answer here. You got me curious
I see you are running version 1.1.5(3) where I have 1.1.0.0125. Maybe this could be a reason as to why it's not working. I'll try it with my iPhone too if that's possible. Anyway I'll be contacting support yeah, maybe the tech-person over that could assist me with this. I thank you very much for your time and help so far!
Okay I got the key from the iPhone, hooray! Still be contacting support though. I will try (to modify) your scripts to see if I can get some stuff from the hub. I'm not a python developer but I think I'll manage. 🎉
Hey! I completely forgot closing this ticket, thanks for your help! I have succeeded creating a connection via python with the device. I have however not had the privilege to continue and finish the work. Hopefully some day soon. Thank you for your help, much appreciated!
Hi there! I'm trying to find information about the brel home router and how to interface with it. I was wondering, besides reading your code, how I could do some stuff with this. Where and how did you manage to get this to work, I cannot seem to find any documentation on the api of the device.
Any references or help would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
