“I have it working right now. My setup:
Home Assistant server
ESP32 Bluetooth Proxy
Homekit over BLE (using the Homekit Device integration)”
Can you explain how you set this up?
@Frans Hettinga It is quite straightforward. I don’t know what you already have, so let me describe all the steps from scratch. 1. Install Home Assistant. There is many ways to do it, consult documentation for details. 2. Install Bluetooth Proxy on ESP32 and connect it to Home Assistant. There is a website that automates this whole process. 3. Reset the Tedee lock and add it via Homekit Device integration to Home Assistant. Then calibrate the lock using the Tedee app. That’s it really. If you have additional questions or problems, I suggest you visit the Home Assistant forum, as it is the proper place for those issues.
@Artur Pragacz, that’s the most informative post yet.
Bike manufacturer VanMoof is a good current example of what can happen if you trust the cloud. Customers have issues unlocking their bicxcles after the company went bankrupt.
In progress. We are in the testing phase.
Thanks a lot for update! Any rough time estimate when it could be finalized?
hello, any news for the local api ?
It’s coming soon, stay tuned! (Just be careful not to die from senility in the meantime…)
It’s available now for Public. Just turn on “Beta-Tester” in the user settings in the tedee app. Then you can see a new menu called “API” in the Bridge Settings
Thanks Tedee for the information - oh no wait. @Ste Phan, appreciate your post, thanks!
I did that but I do not see the API menu anywhere (nor the firmware upgrade to beta)
same with me, beta activated, but no point to the api, neither with the lock, nor with the bridge
Please check if you have the latest app from the App or play store. On iOS it’s version 1.184. If you have that already try logging out and in again. API should appear in the bridge settings.
the latest version in android store is from 30 October - but I do not see version anywhere in the app or in the store
I guess you have to be wait a couple of days for the android app update to arrive.
Version is 1.1.83 under help section…
An API documentation would be helpful so that smart home integrations could use the local api.
If that happens, I will buy a Tedee
Been waiting a long time, and I hope it’s finally coming. I know good software takes time, so I’d rather they are careful with it and do a proper job.
SolidRoot, you have read that you still need an internet connection to use it? You realize that this took three years and is not really what customers expected when Tedee called it “local”. Nothing against good software and doing a proper job, but this has to be in a reasonable timeframe for technology nowadays and it’s just not. Especially, because for you it might be the reason to buy Tedee, for others there would be other reasons customers wished for or Tedee promised and since Tedee is not able to work on two things at once, it will take forever to match with other companys out there.
Ah, it’s been so long that I forgot this whole saga about internet access. This may change things indeed. I guess for me it depends on how it works in practice. I would rather it work fully-local, that’s for sure.
how you know that you still need internet access? Where are you all getting the info?
