homebridge-adax-private v1.0.0

Homebridge Adax (Private API)

This plugin uses the private Adax API that is used in their mobile apps; this way it is possible to use devices that are shared with your account. The public API only shows devices that you own, not shared ones.

Getting the private key

The private API uses a signature generated with a user-specific private key to authenticate requests. Additionally, the account ID (login ID) is present in many requests. To get the private key and account ID, visit https://smart-apps-1.adax.no/sheater-client-api/oauth?type=[provider] where the provider is one of these: "facebook", "google", "twitter", "live", "linkedin", "yahoo", "apple". (Username-password authentication is handled by another endpoint.)

After following the redirect and logging in, you will be redirected back and a JSON response will be displayed, like this: [{"errorTypeId":0},{"id":[account ID],"privateKey":"[private key]","termsAcceptDate":0,"hasDevices":true,"googleHomeLinked":false}]. Copy the account ID and private key (without quotation marks) and paste them in the config.

Devices = zones?

The Adax API recognizes the existence of individual, real devices but only provides temperature controlling and status indication on a per-zone basis. Thus, this plugin will treat each zone as a device, and as such you can not see the data from or control specific devices, only zones. A trick one can do is to only have one device per zone, effectively making the concept of "zones" and "devices" equivalent.
