I recently purchased a Bhyve Smart Watering Controller for my home.
After fiddling around with ‘Postman’ making some api calls to try and figure out how to go about writing a Vera plugin. I finally was able to create access tokens to the device.
Most of my coding knowledge is C#, javascript, but I’m will to give LUA a go and see if I can get a Bhyve Smart Irrigation controller plugin rollin’.
Just a note to this: this is a work in progress, and very much incomplete. It also includes a basic plugin framework first cut (I actually used it to implement Submasters, as a test/proof-of-concept). But expect a lot of holes and errata. Corrections and contributions are always welcome!
Welp, this dream ended fairly quickly. Seems as though you can parse information form the bhyve units, however there isnt was way to initiate the unit to run from cammand line.
I think I might sniff the Network with Wireshark and see if there is anything that could be figured out, but the control API is non existent for this device.
Is this still a no go or is there any hope in resurrecting the project?
I came across someone else working on integrating the bhyve with home automation, but it’s a bit over my head…
