If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the world of home automation, you know it’s like stepping into a realm of endless possibilities. From smart thermostats that learn your schedule to lighting systems that respond to your every whim, the magic of home automation can transform any house into a cozy, tech-savvy sanctuary. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t want a bit of that magic?
For me, this passion has long been intertwined with my love for open-source software. There’s something incredibly rewarding about collaborating with a community of like-minded individuals, sharing knowledge, and contributing to projects that make life a little easier for everyone. The thrill of being part of a collective effort to build something impactful is hard to beat!
I’ve been in this game for a while, especially with my work on the Verisure plugin for Homebridge, which integrates security systems with Apple HomeKit. It’s been an amazing experience enabling users to control their security seamlessly within their smart homes.
Introducing the Node.js module
Lately, I’ve been quietly developing a Node.js module behind the scenes. After diving deep into the Daikin ONECTA API following the announcement of the developer portal and utilizing its functionalities, I decided it was time to share my work with the community. Today, I’m thrilled to announce that this module is finally published as an open-source project!
You can install the module from NPM or check out the source code on GitHub:
$ npm install daikin-onecta
This module simplifies the integration process with Daikin’s heating systems, making it easier for developers and home automation enthusiasts alike to harness the power of smart grids. With automatic token refreshing and streamlined access to key features, this module empowers users to control their heating systems with ease. Plus, it’s completely zero-dependency—because who needs extra baggage, right?
