Communicating with a WiFi Device

qu1ckdry · November 17, 2016, 5:47pm

Hi I have a ProWarm underfloor heating in the bathroom. I can control it from my phone via their app. The app talks to the hub which then talks to the individual heater control. I’d like to be able to control this independently of the app and integrate it in HASS. So far I’ve managed to monitor the traffic in wireshark and I can see a client server handshake going on and then some application data being sent.

This is far from my area of expertise and i’m not really sure what to do next? How do I interpret the wireshark data? How can I send and receive data?

Any help or tutorial suggestions are much appreciated! Also is it safe to post wireshark capture data or will it contain sensitive information?

Thanks

Hi Did you ever get anywhere with this?

Thanks

Resurrecting a very old thread, but as this comes up as the first search result for this combination, I’ll add:

You can add ProWarm devices to Tuya / Smart Life apps (the Pro Touch app is a white-labelled version) and the Home Assistant Tuya Integration (as of 11/2020) will pick them up.

Can’t seem to control them, however. Not sure if I’m missing something, or if they need explicit support.

For now, I’ll be triggering specific functions in HA through an Alexa routine.

Will update if I can work out anything more native.

Waking up this old thread to see if anyone managed to get their ProWarm Electric UFH working with HA at all?

I’m looking at getting some Sonoff NSPanel Pro’s and hoping I can control the UFH using this via HA.

Thanks!

I did something similar with my stove.

Maybe this comes in handy when analyzing traffic between device and phone app;
I wrote a very basic proxy that captures data ‘in between’

github.com

aceindy/Duepi_EVO/blob/abbc5555c5d6b62b8505b0c90d349e4d46d0c3cf/evo-python/Proxy.py

#Set up a simple packet sniffer for the Duepi connections

#The address of the machine this code runs on
#This will be the address/port used by the DPREmote app to connect to the stove
SERVER_IP = '192.168.101.9'
SERVER_PORT = 24
#The address of the pelletstove
STOVE_IP = '192.168.103.11'
STOVE_PORT = 23


import socket
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_address = (SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT)
server_socket.bind(server_address)
server_socket.listen(1)
print('Waiting for a connection...')
client_socket, client_address = server_socket.accept()
print('Connected by', client_address)
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

Ofc this works only if you can configure the device’s ip address in the app
