API for Inkbird sprinkler

Hello,

Do you have the intention to make some api’s available, so we can control the unit also via domotica software, like Home Assistant or Domoticz?

Yours sincerely,
Frank

Sorry, we currently do not provide API protocol.

Thanks for your answer, but do you have plans to implement this in the future?

Best regards,
Frank

Community access via a documented API is a good sign of a strong product that is engaged with its user base.

In the event a documented API isn’t provided you will find many 3rd party activities to reverse engineer the API so this API cannot be considered a trade secret.

The Inkbird value proposition is in the good quality hardware you manufacture. Keeping the API hidden just says Inkbird doesn’t support its users.

What is stopping Inkbird from releasing the details of the API?
