Yolink Local API

[roho]

I've been watching/waiting for Yolink to come out with their local API and it looks like it might actually be here.  Here's a link to their "Steps to working with Local API".  This appears to have been posted just a couple days ago (Feb 12, 2025), so I doubt that anyone has done a production implementation just yet.  Still, it looks like we're getting closer.

For sure! Local control is our fundamental religion. Anything else like web access is just nice to have on top.

I ordered the new HUB required for local control.  Did not receive it yet.  My understanding is it is in Beta and there is no API to control it yet

Thanks for the link - I checked in the current version of the App (1.40.36) and there is no option YoLink App ([Local Hub] -> [Local Network] -> [Integrations] -> [Local API]) yet. Does anyone else see it? Will keep checking.

You likely need the new local hub device - it is supposed to be in beta stage - there is some discussion on the HA forum and discord

Looks like the Local API is simple for now.  No MQTT so we will need to poll devices for now. .  Hopefully the will support in future

Oh Interesting - I do see they came out with a new so called local hub - which currently shows as Sold Out. Seems the old hubs cost less than $25 each and the new hubs will be over $300 and have a bunch of other features. 

I have 36 nodes now on my Yolink node server. They all seem pretty responsive, but since a lot of them are checking for leaks and water running, I would rest a bit easier knowing the notifications/actions are not relying on an internet connection and server farm.
