Good morning,
I have installed a Marygrove Awning that comes with a Spettmann Smart-Shade MiniHub (http://smart-shade.app/) that connects to the mobile app via Bluetooth and to the internet via Wi-Fi.
I am able to control the awning from the mobile app, and I heard from customer support that I could even integrate in Alexa, however I am looking at an all-local solution, prefereably BLE, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, but I could work with other options such as ZigBee, Matter, etc…
I believe the mobile app works by sending commands to the cloud and then the Mini-Hub receives the commands from the Cloud.
In all of this I assume that there should be a way to shorten the loop and go all local.
I am not able to find much material online on how to do make this happen.
I would also take suggestions on how I could “sniff” the protocols to potentially reverse engineer the communication, just need to be pointed to some good instructions as I am at most an amateur homeassistant programmer.
Hope someone here is able to share his experiences!
Thank you!
