I’d like to see an addition in the bridge http api callback. It would be great if the user who initiated the change in lockstate would be mentioned in the posted JSON as well. This would allow for further integration with other home automation devices.
Features
add user that changed the lockstate to JSON callback of Bridge HTTP API
Reason
being able to do other home automation stuff based on who opened or locked the door
Examples
people that use a home automation controller (like Homey, Vera, Fibaro Home Center etc.) or home automation software (like Domoticz or Home Assistant). Currently apps for most of these already exist but can only do other stuff based on lock state or critical battery level. Also receiving the user that iniated a change would open up a lot more use cases.
I had the same needs and I found a way to have the informations in JSON about who initiated change.
In the API, when you’re initiating a change in lockstate, you receive in JSON a thing like Nuki Web().
You can pass a descriptions beetwen those parenthesis by sending a POST request to https://api.nuki.io/api/key/:id and updating the description params with a string.
You can see it here : Swagger UI
I’m making this everytime someone lock/unlock the door. I pass the user ID and other important information and then parse the string to retrieve the ID and identify the user who did the change with this.
It need a bit of development but this a great way to have what you’re describing here!
No it’s private, but I can link you the part you need if you want ? This is in Ruby/RoR if you want.
Btw, this is not something very difficult to do.
You can try on the Swagger API Nuki with the endpoint I’ve provided before.
Just update it each time a user make a particular action.
Don’t hesitate to DM me, I’ll be happy to help
