Hi everyone, I’m excited to share my recent project integrating my outdoor wood boiler with Hubitat for notifications. It’s been a fun challenge, and I wanted to document my journey in case others are looking to do something similar.
I’ve been using a Siemens Logo!8 PID controller with a web interface, and I discovered that it has a REST API. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to connect my boiler to my smart home ecosystem. After some research, I stumbled upon How to Access Siemens Data with a REST API, which provided a great starting point.
I was curious if there was a similar solution for Hubitat, so I did a quick search and found a few topics from a couple of years ago. It looks like progress has been made, but I’m wondering if there’s a more streamlined way to achieve this now. Has anyone successfully integrated a device with a REST API into Hubitat? I’d love to hear about your setups and any tips you might have!
For those interested, I’ve been exploring the best way to create a custom device handler for this purpose. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, but I’m excited to see how this can enhance my home automation setup.
If anyone has experience with similar projects or knows of any recent developments, I’d be grateful for your insights. Let’s keep the conversation going and see how we can make this integration even smoother!
Thanks in advance for your help and ideas!
