raw https calls to wyze??

[k0jdd]

Looked at this SDK. Very impressive and comprehensive. There must be many many hours invested.

I have a very small need I am trying to fulfill. I want to access a WYZE thermostat and read the current status (mode, fan, set point, current temp, humidity, etc...) If i ever actually need to control it i will use the WYZE app.

This SDK is overkill for my needs. I could still use the SDK but I have some obstacles.

1. SDK says it needs Python 3.8. My Debian 10 server is running Python 3.7.3-1 which it claims is the 'newest version'.
   sudo apt upgrade python3
python3 is already the newest version (3.7.3-1).
   I am not sure I can compile 3.8 or later from source without messing up something else...Or whether it is actually supported on Debian 10

2. I have no experience with Python. Sure, I could learn it but that is a steep hill considering my modest requirements.

3. I would rather be dependent on my own code when WYZE changes something - and they will, as you know.

I am not asking anyone to write code for me, What I am looking for is guidance/direction on how to construct HTTPS requests to the WYZE api so I can:

1. Login and get the proper credentials
2. Query the list of devices to locate the thermostat
3. Query the thermostat status and get back a json response

I have looked all over the internet. There are lots of WYZE projects, all have reverse-engineered the WYZE api, but none of them document the underlying HTTPS calls.

So if someone can please point me to the correct place in the source code where I might find this information, or ferret it out from the code, I would be grateful. I'll even donate some $$ to support the project if that is something you are set up to do (patreon, etc...)

Best regards,
John

UPDATE: I found what I was looking for buried in the code, but it turned out to be a much, much bigger deal than I had expected or hoped for.

So I hunkered down and figured out my python versioning issues, installed the SDK, took a crash course in Python OOP, and completed what I had initially set out to do. I can read the Thermostat state very nicely. Took about 45 lines of code.

QUESTON:

I looked closely at the models and I did not see where the device reports if HOLD is enabled via the app. Perhaps it's there and I just missed it.
