by Nicholas Robinson

Overview

This simple HTTP server exposes APIs to facilitate automation of the MRCOOL DIY line of ACs via node-smartcielo. This could be used to integrate node-smartcielo with hass.io for example as described here.

Installation

$ npm install -g node-smartcielo-http
$ node-smartcielo-http -l 6969 -u <username> -p <password> -i <ip_address>
