Eufy API

Purpose

To programatically work with Eufy products.

In the following example I want to turn on a smart plug that is attached to a HEPA air filter. I want this to be turned on when the PM in the air gets to a high enough level. The filter works well in filtering the air, but it can be loud and I don't want it running 24/7.

API

[1]I am having a hard time finding official documentation, but I did find a forum post with some information. There is also a great project on github that was able to point me in the right direction[2]

Authenticating

This was rather confusing. Pulling from various sources I realized that all existing projects pull from the same source. Someone had decrypted the API calls[3] and hardcoded the following for headers. My guess is that Eufy uses this for most calls and it is required.

client_id = "eufyhome-app"
client_secret = "GQCpr9dSp3uQpsOMgJ4xQ"
