Hello,
So today (I think) I'm writing in to ask about the lack of public API for data to publish to my VenusOS VRM. In particular I'd really love to be able to use DIY sensors for temp and/or tank levels, that I could see from my VRM homepage, or Android Widgets. But also, I cant see why there wouldnt be room for any short form data to be pushed to VRM regularly.
I've seen previous answers on this topic that are a year old, so I guess I'm adding my 2 cents, and asking if there are any updates. I'm very grateful that you've added the options for Mopeka and Ruuvi sensors, but I'm not prepared to spend $40-$70 per sensor at the moment, and I have the DIY skills to make my own for less.
It would be great to have the option to use ESP8266 (wifi) or NRF52 (BT/BLE) platforms and send the data to VenusOS. Examples:
- https://learn.adafruit.com/esp8266-temperature-slash-humidity-webserver
- https://learn.adafruit.com/wearable-temperature-monitor/arduino-code
I would really love to be able to program alarms to send me push notifications in the app. This would increase the value of my current and future Victron components quite a bit.
I'd love to know what blockers are in the way of this happening if it's not possible.
Thank you very much!
Corey

ps: I'd also be interested in how to do this wired, but wireless is still my goal.
