GE appliances and nodered

[Sirhc]

Hi All

GE have released API documentation for their appliances which also cover Haier appliances.

URL: API Catalog | Smart HQ Developer Portal

Has anyone had a play with these APIs and how to integrate them into NodeRed? There's a few githubs which have managed to make use of them using this :

GitHub - simbaja/gehome: Python SDK for GE smart appliances

I'd be happy to give it a shot but the code is mainly in python and I can't make sense of how it is connecting to the SmartHQ APIs.

Not sure how helpful this is, but I've been using the SmartHQ app in Hubitat to bring my GE appliances into node-red. Here are screen grabs of what info I can get from my dryer, dishwasher and washer.

Thanks for the reply. Out of interest do your devices show up in the SmartHQ website? Or are they just shown on your app? Don’t really want to install Hubitat but thanks for the insight.

I’ve never used the website. I checked it out and it looks like I'll need to figure out how to set it up, but so far I only see them in the Smart HQ app and in Hubitat. I'll see if I can find some time to tinker with it over the next couple of days.

Was pretty simple in the end, you just need to find the documentation buried deep in their website. Took me longer to find this than actually coding the nodered dashboard lol

That page is behind a login - can you post 1 or more of the examples?

That's okay, the guide in the first link provides a way to do it (synchronously)
