Brunt Blind Engine support or component?

Third party integrations

It works perfectly on the app. The problem is occuring when I am trying to set up the brunt platform in Home Assistant

Hi @danpow - I’m also experiencing the same issue. “Client Forbidden”. Are you aware of a fix for this? Blind engine works in app, and my username and password are correct in config.yaml

Old tread but do these stil work? Im thinking about ordering some. Is it a cloud app or does it run local.

Did you ever fix the issue with the Brunt blind integration to Home Assistant

Anybody knows if A-OK brand {BLE instead of wifi) is similar to Brunt? The configuration in configuration.yaml checks out ok but it does not show up in States.

Hi,

My brunt blind engine works quite well with home assistant.
One thing I noticed though on my firewall is that the brunt devices communicates very frequently with their server.
More specifically:

  • 30,000 flows in 24h it connects to thing.brunt.co
  • About 11mb are uploaded and 11mb downloaded per 24h

This is quite excessive for a small IoT device… I am worried a bit about privacy concerns too (why 30K flows in a day…)

I blocked these flows in my firewall, and as expected the device does not operate in local mode. I was wondering if anyone has similar issues, and if there is any workaround.
