This is done in C but the package below wraps that up for you (phew!)

Neither worked very well

Instead I decided to create a new action that turned on the socket for an hour. I then booted up fiddler, gave it https access then logged onto my Hive account. In the dashboard I pressed the new action button. Fiddler had then recoreded a login command and a quick-action command.

Response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 16225 Connection: keep-alive Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2018 16:59:47 GMT x-amzn-RequestId: XXX Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * x-amz-apigw-id: XXX X-Amzn-Trace-Id: XXX X-Cache: Miss from cloudfront Via: 1.1 XXX.cloudfront.net (CloudFront) X-Amz-Cf-Id: XXX

Response body was very verbose, trimmed for brevity (and security, it contains everything they know about you, all your devices, schedules, etc etc. Even the lat/long of your house).

You first need the following key:value pair

json_response['token']

this is the auth header of all future requests.

Then you need to find the entry that relates to what you want to control. In my case that was the action with the name Shed heater on:

json_response['actions']

will list all stored actions, find the one with the correct name and extract the id.
