Hi everyone, I’ve been experimenting with integrating my ESP devices into my Home Assistant setup and wanted to share my journey and ask for some advice.
I currently have a few automations running on my mobile device that send data to Home Assistant via the local API. This has been working well, but I’ve been curious about the possibility of using the Nabu Casa URL for remote data logging instead of relying on MQTT.
After some research and testing, I found that using the Nabu Casa URL is indeed possible! I simply needed to remove the port number from the URL, so it became https://NABU_CASA_IP_ADDRESS/api/states/sensor.test. This worked perfectly for my initial tests, and I’m excited about the potential this opens up for remote monitoring.
However, I still have a few questions. I’d like to know if it’s possible to use either the Web Server API or the HTTP Request component to push data over the Nabu Casa IP. I’m particularly interested in how this might integrate with my ESP devices for more seamless remote monitoring.
If anyone has experience with this or could provide some guidance, I’d greatly appreciate it! I’m also happy to share more details about my setup or any scripts I’ve developed if that would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions!
