New house with a wiser hub connected over ethernet but I can work out how to get the api secret either. I’ve tried going to the link provided in the wiki http://{IP}/secret but it doesn’t look like there’s a web server running.
Has anyone manage to work this out? I hope so…

Wiser Hub

I am about to set one of these up remotely (my dad already has it, i am giving him a home assistant), he seems to be struggling to get the SSID to show…sigh…

I note you can’t visit the URL in a browser, you need to use one of these commands:

  • For Windows use this in powershell window Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -UseBasicParsing -Uri http://192.168.8.1/secret/
  • For Linux (or Windows WSL) use curl http://192.168.8.1/secret

I tried curl and powershell to the ip provided by my browser but no luck.
I also disconnected the ethernet and went back to wifi but still nothing.
Tried the set up button again but it doesn’t broadcast a SSID.

I don’t want to reset the hub and have to set everything up again…
Once you work out your dad, please report back.

Any luck on this one yet guys.
Ive tried resetting the wiser hub and managed to connect to the wifi on my laptop, tried the 2 methods above via powershell but no success

on a positive note by clicking the reset button on my hub to put it in setup mode and enable the wifi broadcasting i was afraid i would lose my connected devices but reconnecting it to the ethernet cable all is still present and good

Hi, By going in to setup mode are you able to get the secret and install it in to home assistant?

Hi all
I guess nobody managed to integrate wiser hub into HA yet. I’ve couple of these devices but no luck to get them work with HA yet :frowning:

I have managed to obtain the key and connect to the hub using this method.

But looks like the better option is connecting the hub with Matter.

Well. I got a bit frustrated and felt that Schneider is working against open source. The secret is not accessible in some versions. If you update the firmware on newer versions, it does not publish the secret at all.

So I bought the Sonoff ZigBee Dongle-E with EFR32MG21 (cheap from China or a few more bucks on Amazon) to capture Green Power frames. It works flawlessly.

I recommend running this on any Linux based OS. Build a small MQTT service that uses GitHub - jlama/powertagd
and forwards the data to Home Assistant. I didn’t have a USB port free on my Home Assistant Pi.

PM me if you want my repo.

Will you get the secret key? The traffic is ciphered

Have you got it?

Hi, I had the same issue as you all, but it’s an easy fix once you realise that after you log into the Wiser Hub, you are using a different IP address. You need to scan for the new hub IP address and then add /secret … and up it comes on the browser. It’s like magic when you add the secret and boom everything appears in Home Assistant.
