Local control (Possibly MQTT?)

[TorenRenne1964]

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for sorting out an integration for this!

I'm relatively new to Home Assistant and have been using the Octopus Energy Integration, which helpfully gives Me Intelligent Dispatch info that I'm trying to harness, but I feel the Hypervolt integration would also be good as can access the LED's, check if it's definitely charging etc...

My only issue, is I'm trying to get everything locally where possible to eliminate cloud issues. I notice you mentioned this goes via the cloud API, I assume as local support isn't an option currently?

All I can find on the matter is a reddit post from a few years back saying they were looking at adding MQTT support, but nothing since.
I've just dropped them an email, but thought I'd check here too. If they did offer local support would it be something you might look to add?

Thanks again!

If local control was offered, this would definitely be something I would look into supporting. Currently all control has to go via the cloud servers. I doubt local control would be a priority for Hypervolt. The current direction appears to be integration with energy and solar providers. While this doesn't preclude local control, I doubt there's a business case for adding local control. I'd love to be wrong though!
