Where to start with custom DTH orphaned by webcore

Hello community.

Some time ago I got a simple automation running in Sharptools to turn on/off a Warmup 4ie thermostat.

I migrated the routine following prompting by Sharptools, but the Warmup custom device handler couldn’t be/wasn’t migrated. The DTH was community generated as OOB, Warmup only support Amazon skills and IFTTT. I have to assume the DTH won’t be updated (though I have pinged the author to confirm that - it was written in 2016, so they may no longer contributing at all).

Does anybody have suggestions or pointers on how to proceed? There must be an API for the thermostat (the Warmup App is working fine) - can Sharptools address the API directly? Could I address IFTTT and use that to address the device?

I’m not a developer, but have some technical experience - happy to experiment and try things out

Thank you.
Jon

There are a couple of ways to address it…

  1. If you can get your hands on some API documentation, it might be the most direct way but depending on the implementation the hardest as well.

  2. For sur you can use IFTTT with SharpTools using WebHooks, but it could depend on the triggers and actions available on IFTTT, but a simple on/off probably is not a problem.

WebHooks are great tools to get things done, IFTTT supports them as triggers and actions, as well as SharpTools so two-way operations should be possible.
