Is it possible to display a web site on a control page

Hi, I have a sense home energy monitor installed in my breaker box and I was wondering if there is a way to display a url to see the energy monitor on an indigo control page. Sense has a IOS app and they also allow connection via a web browser. Snapshot from Safari below.

Or has anyone seen or done a plug-in for the sense unit?

Is the url of that image available?

A refreshing image component on control panel could work if so.

The url is
https://home.sense.com

all I get is this (below) - I think I need to put the user name and password into the url but I can't remember the format and don't know where to look it up :-(

https://user:pass@home.sense.com if it accepts digest auth.

I’m not sure if it’s possible to digest auth a real world website though.

Thanks I'll try that again today - it is a bit of a mess - I don't know if I'm logging into the box in my house or if that is the address of their server, plus my PW has a @ in it so that just adds to the fun.... Thanks for the suggestion !

Unless you or they have done some trickery in your router or DNS, that's their website.

Code: Select all
ping home.sense.com
will tell you. 192.* will be home.

Yes, I kind of figured it was theres unless they do some reverse tunnel to their device - but like you said 99.9% it is there site....

Out of curiosity, how helpful do you find the Sense? Facebook was marketing it pretty hard.

Does it have an API?

Good concept but still needs work / refinement to pinpoint ALL individual items on individual circuits - I still have hope - each SW build is better.

Thanks, I did google it - I should have said - how could I use this within indigo - I'm not a programmer so nothing is jumping out at me from looking at the definition.

Thanks for any help :-)

PS. Early Bronco's rule!

I don't know enough about what you are trying to do to be able to really give you an idea of how you could utilize a yaml file in your Indigo setup. The yaml is obviously how that device is configured and wherever that file resides can be manipulated via Python if you need do but, again, I don't know the context.

I've owned several Broncos, both early (EB) and late (LB) and they are excellent vehicles. I intend to buy the new Bronco in 2020. As for off-roading, EB's are close to Jeeps (that is what they were modeled after) but when the rubber meets the trail, so to speak, Jeep is hands down a more versatile platform to crawl and off-road with. My $0.02 :). I've built from the frame up several Jeeps.

Home Assistant (open source automation platform) does all configuration through YAML (yet another markup language) files rather than through a GUI like Indigo presents. In terms of what you see above, it's how you add a device to Home Assistant. It won't help you adding the device to Indigo.

I'm trying to display some info from my sense monitor on a control page - I'm not clear on how to do this within indigo using python

Pictures of my bronco....
