Energy Usage - add feature

[ChrisMurf2900]

Any way to get the energy usage and report it?

Also, I'm looking at making a similar plugin for Home Assistant. Could you share any documentation you used to get the API access and what not? Would appreciate that. (Infinitude doesn't work with the latest firmware that uses MQTT - however your plugin still works)

Thanks for the awesome plugin!

Theres no way to keep and show energy use in homekit. So I don't think that will be possible (unless you know of a way to do that).

Also, theres no real API docs for the carrier api on their side. They do have a public api doc, but as far as I can tell its not for the version they use themselves. https://openapi.ing.carrier.com/docs

If you want to see raw api data from carrier, the easiest way is to use your browsers web inspector. See https://github.com/grivkees/homebridge-carrier-infinity/wiki/Development

Besides that, the core of the carrier api interface is the file https://github.com/grivkees/homebridge-carrier-infinity/blob/master/src/infinityApi.ts

Other plugins add history with Fakegato https://github.com/simont77/fakegato-history. example, https://github.com/bwp91/homebridge-wemo/tree/latest/lib

You won't see the history in the native Home app, but will with Eve.

This would go with issue #186

Makes sense, I'll keep this open as a feature request.
