Can we use the eWeLink API without NodeJs ?

[Orpair69]

Hello,

I want to include a call to the EweLink API in an existing project but I don't use NodeJS. There is a way to call eweLink API without Node or not ? I use JS in my project but I dont know if we can include NodeJS project in simple JS code.

Best Regards,

I don't think we can. My quite the same question is hanging for like 2 months already, no answer. The chinese won't open their DIY API to the DYIers, lol.

any news? I did some tests with RequireJS library, but it looks like it could (probably) work only if we download all "require" dependencies of ewelink... or not? https://sebhastian.com/javascript-require-is-not-defined/

They just don't care.

I found a possible workaround, at least to study the API, then we'll see... There is an "inadvertently open ewelink system" online, accessible from a node.js sandbox here:

I also found Browserify, which should convert from node.js to local javascript, but I have no idea about how to use it.... as you have to install node.js to run it, and I don't know node.js!

This is for direct access when you can directly access the wifi of the device, we need to access devices when far from home:
