Documentation for API reverse engineering

[Zolli]

Hi,

I currently have a Ariston Nimbus heat-pump system installed on my house and I want to help you add support for it.

I'm an engineer myself but it help me a lot if you can create a small writeup how you did the reverse engineering process.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Zoltán!

I used the official mobile application and some proxy fiddler and mitm.

The following article is a short how-to: https://downthecrop.xyz/blog/reverse-engineer-any-private-api/

Currently I am very busy. The second child is about to arrive, a full time job (as a developer), we are moving to countryside, but I am trying to help everyone.

PS: kérdezhetsz magyarul is

Hey, thanks, no problem, moving can be very stressful especially with a newborn, congrats. ;) In the morning I get started with the emulator and mitm, but not finished setting-up yet, good to know i`m on the right track.

(Let just stick with English, to not confuse anyone)

Just tried mitm with my phone, works flawlessly (not with the emulator...) First step could be to create a postman collection from the API just to get more in-depth with the API, but looks almost straigh-forward

Hi @Zolli . I got a Lydos wifi 100 recently. The API should be similar, in about two weeks I'll have the time to start working on it. We might share our intermediate results before PRs. Zsombor

I also have a Lydos Hybrid Wifi and I can help out.

I'm not good with code but have mitm setup and already went through a bit and saved some of the requests in postman.

Hi @Zolli , I also have an Ariston Nimbus heat-pump and with this integration it shows as Galevo. Few sensor are ok but the big part is unavailable

If you need a tester count me in ;)
