Hey!
I have been in Home Automation for quite a while and noticed there are a ton of apps that does offer an app to control a device, even via internet connection (and not just BT), but do not offer an automation capabilities (ie. you can’t really ask siri from homepod to do whatever you want to happen, or add it to IFTTT, or include in Zapier flow etc,).
I am gathering a list as I’m super curious how many more are out there. My list is below:
- Vimar Entryphone - Has an app, has siri, but it requires to open the app to run
-
Jura coffee machine J.O.E app - Has an app, has siri, but requires to open the app to run
- Multiple efforts were done to hack this but it requires hardware modifications AFAIK which voids warranty…
- Nanit Baby camera app - Has an app, has Alexa capabilities which are poor. I tend to forget to turn on breathing monitoring here and i can’t automate that
- Mitsubishi AC app - This has been since I last checked reverse engineered, and the API can be accessed and set up with Home Assistant - still, there’s no official way to automate it, only an app
