Hi,
I currently have the challenge to integrate a Venta Aerostyle LW74 (Airwasher/Humidifier) in OpenHAB 3.2
This is my current environment:
OpenHAB 3.2.0
with VentaAir Binding
Venta Aerostyle LW74 (with WiFi module)
Venta App on iOS is in use
Venta Home (App) is not in use
Venta Cloud is not in use (no intention to use it)
automatic discovered thing as “Generic Humidifier/Cleaner” (Thing Type) with
- IP address
- MAC address
- device type = 107
- the hash is unknown (empty)
The documentation of VentaAir Binding states that this binding listens to UDP port 48000. The hash is unknown. To optain the hash it is suggested to sniffering the network:
“… so I added this parameter to allow the user to set the same value as his App on the phone (can be obtained via sniffing the network). …”
When I was sniffering the network I found out, that the Venta App (not the Venta Home App!) isn’t using UDP port 48000. Instead of this, TCP port 80 (http) is used for reading/setting parameter.
I also found out, that the Venta Aerostyle LW74 has a webserver. This interface is fully open, a password is not needed. The user has direct access to values and can fully control the device.
My questions:
- Is there an information that VentaAir Binding will be further developed and adapted (supporting Venta Aerostyle LW73 and LW74)?
- Is there another way (f.e. another binding) for using the web interface to read/control the device via OpenHAB?
Cheers
Sten
