I’m excited to share my recent experience integrating Sensibo with Hubitat. After trying several unofficial integrations without success, I decided to take the plunge and create a custom app. Here’s what I did:
I developed a simple integration that fetches the Sensibo API key, retrieves all connected devices, and creates virtual switches for each device. This allows me to control the devices directly from Hubitat. Plus, the app periodically syncs the device statuses to ensure everything stays up-to-date, even if changes are made via the Sensibo app.
While I’m proud of this accomplishment, I have a few questions for the community:
- Status Fetching Frequency: I’m currently fetching the status every minute for each device. Is this too resource-intensive? Should I consider a longer interval to reduce load?
- API Stability: Sensibo’s API seems reliable so far, but I’d like to know if others have experienced any instability or downtime. It would be helpful to understand if this is a potential concern.
I’m also curious if anyone else has implemented similar integrations or has suggestions for improving this setup. Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Let’s keep the discussion going and help each other optimize our smart home setups. Happy integrating!
