I’m really worried this will become common practice. We MUST fight against this otherwise they will take away open source from us. Making an integration to work with devices you own is NOT ILLEGAL. I’m happy to contribute to a qualified and trustworthy gofundme to protect devs. I myself have a few integrations I made and would refuse to take them down. Granted, I intentionally don’t use any “cloud” api garbage.

Haier (at least this product in the EU) doesn't have a published/public API.

The code in question scraped the API off of app/device traffic.

Also, Home Assistant is a locally focused platform, and when it uses cloud APIs it creates HUGE amounts of traffic for the amount of users that use it.

Yeah right.

I have data to back this up (at least for our products), do you?
