    Shark Vacuum Plugin or Script

    There doesn't appear to be a plugin for the Shark vacuum cleaners, is there anyone planing to make one? Or is there a script that I could use to just send the clean command to it. Would pay for a plugin if available, even though all I need is the command to start cleaning. I know I can schedule it to clean when I want, however I would rather do true an HS event so if it's on day that I'm home I'd rather in not run.

    Big5 plug-in comes to the rescue in many occasions like that. It supports REST API, JSON, HTTP, FTP, MQTT just to name few protocols. First thing to do is to find out how your Shark Vacuum is open to an integration. Does it have an API, what protocols does it support? What are the commands?
    With this information in hand drop a note or request at Big5 dedicated forum and they will help you as they did in many similar cases from weather stations to dish washers.

      What is typical with these smartphone apps is that communication to the device is encrypted and you need to get the key used for the encryption and then use the key to encode and decode the data packets. It is not as simple as having an API. When I play with Tuya app devices running stock firmware I first do a man in the middle exploit to find the encryption key and then use the reverse-engineered Tuya protocol to control the device.

        A google search finds a Shark REST API https://support.riverbed.com/apis/sh...1/service.html. AlexBK has a plugin for devices based upon REST. You may want to prod him to see if he is interested in including Shark as one of his supported products.

          Who is AlexBK. I searched his name on the forum and only got this post as a search result.

            The thread I saw it in is https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/li...eenshots/page3 #44

            "But that's the whole idea of my plugin, so you don't need to do any soldering/flashing. For my plugin the device needs to have new 'DIY' firmware with the REST protocol support."

            He introduced support of both Sonoff DIY and Shelly at the same time because there both used REST. You should also confirm that the link I provided for API is for your Shark. There may be other things called Shark with an API.

              Did some more search on this and it doesn't appear to be for Shark Vacuum. Thanks anyway.
