I would like to integrate the temperature sensor data into homeassistant and influxdb. Is there any API available by now or the option to regularly do an automatic export of the values as csv or so? ---

Hello, Sorry, currently it doesn’t have this feature. ---

Hi Tania, is this something we can expect in the near future? Thank you ---

@Tania if Inkbird is tracking the popularity of adding the API, add me to the list. Using the ITC-308-Wifi, I’d like to be able to flash the lights in my house when temperatures get out of control or get a reminder to turn off appliances if my utility company is doing a blackout and I’ll be a battery backup. ---

Please report that I would gladly spend a couple of dollar or more on your products _if_ there was a way to integrate them into home assistant (and I don’t mean Bluetooth) ---

Just wanted to add my +1 to this feature, and going further then the last commentor in saying that i wont by this product unless it has some sort of api to query data and put it into some metrics system like e.g. promethus ---

Hi Tania! I’d like to second the request for an API to be exposed for the temperature sensors. In your app I see that you have added a connection to Alexa. Is a connection to Apple Homekit in the roadmap for future releases? ---

Hello, Sorry engineers are developing the connection with Google home. The connection with Apple Homekit needs to be planned in the future. ---

We to be able to send the InkBird ITC-308 a temperature to set the target temperature. As a bonus, it would be nice to be able to get the current temperature. We do not want Google Home (which is basically dead) or Apple Homekit (which is Apple junk). ---

An API would be best. I wouldn’t want to use Alexa or Google Home or whatever. I’d want to be able to use custom hardware and apps. Hopefully you have an in-house developer with some excitement for this! Your sales will surely increase! ---

Add me to the list of those wanting an actual API. I don’t use Alexa or Google. I use custom home automation. I want to be able to query the API directly to get temperature readings, and/or set certain settings. I would 100% purchase strictly InkBird devices if this was supported. ---

Hi You can add me to the list. I’m an app developer and I’d like to integrate Inkbird sensor outputs (Heat, humidity etc) in to the data my app gives the user. Olly ---

Hi. I’m a python developer, and I’m interested in adding support for the IM-03-W // P03 to Home Assistant. I understand that adding an API costs money and developer time. So instead, how about providing some documentation on how a developer might directly probe these devices? It would help to not have to totally reverse-engineer things, and Inkbird would gain additional integrations and goodwill. Pretty please? ---

Following up on this … 1. It’s very disappointing that there have been no further responses from the Inkbird side on this. I’m highly unlikely to buy another Inkbird product based on this experience. 2. I was able to add the IM-03-W to the Tuya mobile application, which would be the 1st step in setting up an integration to Home Assistant. Unfortunately the Tuya app can’t handle the P03 sensor ( ie the actual pool thermometer - the whole point of the device ), and constantly shows -20 degrees. Further to that, the process of getting an API key from Tuya, and the Tuya website itself, is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. I will stay away from Tuya-based products as well.
