      Is there a way to access the real time data for incorporation into an existing home automation system?

      I’m a long time user of Homeseer and have installed the 16 way Vue 2 but can’t find any way to access the data other than the smart phone app and the webapp. The collected info is great but not a lot of use if I can’t act on it.

      Regards

      I’m not sure if Homeseer has the ability to read Influx databases or if you have the ability to write code to parse JSON channel data, but there is a github downloader that can access the cloud data from Helgew.  I use a python script to pull the last minutes channel data down into my Indigo home control server once a minute and treat that as pseudo real time data, which works well enough to alert me when the washer and dryer finish running and (should it ever happen) if the freezer ever stops drawing power because the breaker trips or compressor fails.  I am also keeping track of the minutes of run time on the fan for the central HVAC and checking on it’s power draw from time to time to see if the filter needs changing.

      I do wish Emporia would allow local access to the data because our internet is not 100% reliable and I hate losing the data stream when the local ISP drops their tower for an hour or two… but The company is adamant that they will NEVER allow that.
