Is anyone aware of any effort to write a Homebridge Plugin for Flume?
I use Apple Homekit and Homebridge has made it possible to add non-Homekit devices like Ring doorbell and older wifi thermostats. Though Flume has made the API available, I'm not a coder and haven't wanted to teach myself to code just to write a Homebridge plugin. All I am looking for a plugin to do is to report some basic usage data from within Homekit. Is someone at Flume looking to develop something like this?

API: Why do we need to decode the JWT, can't you decode it for us?
In the API, it looks like the user_id is required to do anything useful. To get this user_id, I need to (manually, externally) decode the JWT, and I'm in a sandboxed language that doesn't have the bits to do it easily.
Since I've only just made an API call to get the JWT Token, why not include the decoded user_in in that API. Then you'll completely remove the need to have the clients do custom work (client-side) to decode it.
For now, I'll put my Device on hold (for Hubitat Elevation) as I can't see an easy way around it, as I don't have the necessary libs (and can't load them into Hubitat)
EDIT: Ok, without the lib, looks like I can BASE64 decode the middle part (from doc) to extract the UID. Seems like an unnecessary step, since I'm effectively "trusting" the result in order to do this, so might as well provide the raw UID for those that don't have the necessary kit to decode & validate it correctly.

What are the device battery levels?
My device only "high", and I can't find documentation for the "battery_level" field on the devices or device endpoints

Integration with smart irrigation controller
Could you consider adding API routes to signal when a particular irrigation zone starts/stops, to feed into your detection algorithm and provide some "ground truth"?
I'm thinking something like one resource for irrigation zones, (many irrigation zones per location), with properties like a name, type of irrigation (spray, drip, etc), and maybe some others.
Then you'd expose a POST or something for the zone that would allow an api client to specify an array of (optional start time, optional end time) pairs.
I'd like to use this with my wifi irrigation controller and home assistant, but it could also make for the beginnings of a great IFTTT app for users without their own local hub.
If you provide appropriate permissions, you could perhaps even partner with a handful of smart irrigation controller providers to set up webhooks or something for your shared users.
Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in collaborating on; I'd be happy to provide further ideas.

Hello,
Is the Rate Limit per-endpoint or per API Key?

Rachio Integration
Any plans to integrate with Rachio Irrigation Systems? It would be great to report on water usage from irrigation valves.

Are device IDs immutable/permanent?
Are device IDs permanent? Similar to a network interface's MAC address or a phone's IMEI?
Example, if I delete a sensor and bridge from my account and re-add it, are new device IDs generated for the sensor and bridge?

When querying devices for usage which device type should be used? Sensor or Bridge?
It seems that both the Bridge and the Sensor are included within the device list and each would have a device ID. Which device should be used when querying for usage data?
