Hiku Scanner Kitchen

[DJ_RaidAr_VIP (Brett Matthew White)]

Good day, all!

I would like to see if we can implement the Hiku (http://hiku.us/) into Home Assistant, so we would be able to get a glimpse of shopping lists, and be able to also to Forward and Backward Adding, such as being added either through the device or Hiku app itself, or also able to add through Google Home or Amazon Alexa.

It sounds a little odd, but, I think it would help in households with multi-user shopping lists, plus, there’s not much kitchen tech available in Home Assistant at the moment.

Thanks!

Old topic, but great idea. That could be really nice to have it with HA.

Edit : after quick researches, I found some informations :

• Someone has already try to understand how Hiku is working : https://piandmore.wordpress.com/2017/11/21/hiku-receiving-events/
  Maybe it could be a good start
• A git repository provided by Hiku (now Slyce) to demonstrate how to use the Hiku SDK : https://github.com/Slyce-Inc/hiku_shared
• The documentation on Hiku external API v1.5.6 : https://github.com/Slyce-Inc/hiku_shared/blob/master/API/hikuExternalAPIDocumentationv1.5.6.pdf

I’m still thinking there’s some nice things to do with the Hiku. So if someone wants to get his hands in, I’ll be glad to help.
