Hello - I’ve recently been diving into HomeAssistant and hooked up the Connect 10 Internet Gateway on the back of the instructions here via connectmypool. However, as noted it’s painfully slow - I press the button and 5-15 seconds later the action will actually happen.
As a learning project (dusting off my old electrical skills) I’ve been working on an ESP32 project that can read the wire protocol for the Connect 10. It can currently read all the key properties such as temperature, channel state and publishes it to MQTT for smoother integration with Home assistant. It updates the states almost instantly which is nice.
Key question is are there any people on this thread who would in interested in collaborating on this?
Very interesting! Yep, having to rely on the cloud solution (which appears to be a windows server under a desk somewhere) is, as they say, sub optimal. Happy to be included and help where I can. 
I should have something shareable in the coming weeks @zagnuts so will let you know when I do.
