Hi everyone,
A few of us have been working on an integration for IRSAP thermostats in Home Assistant, and the repository with the code is available here: IRSAP-HA Integration. The integration references IRSAP’s APIs, which, as of now, are not officially supported for Home Assistant. My main concern is that IRSAP could potentially send a cease-and-desist letter regarding the use of these undocumented APIs, as has happened with other integrations in the past.
We tried reaching out to IRSAP’s technical team, but their response was negative—they are not interested in developing integrations for Home Assistant. Their focus seems to be primarily on their own proprietary app and Google Home integration.
Before proceeding further, I’d like to ask the Home Assistant development team and the community if anyone has suggestions on how to navigate this situation and avoid potential legal issues. Has anyone dealt with similar cases, or have advice on how to approach companies that restrict API usage?
Thanks in advance for any feedback and support.
