I am not a RaZberry owner (yet) and the bottom line is this: I am seeking to use a retro computer (a non PC/Mac computer, with ethernet card but without possibility to use SSL) to control a Z-Wave network through the Raspberry Pi/RaZberry by using the HTTP/JSON API. However, seeing some worrying news in forum posts and certain info in the changelog made me hesitate with this plan and now I need to check up on a few things before proceeding:
1) I read in changelog that HTTP requests needs to be authenticated as of 2.1.1
===================================================================
Question A: Does the HTTP/JSON API thus always require authentication or is there some way to enable unrestricted access to JSON API on a local (and trusted) network?
Question B: If authentication is an absolute must to utilize the JSON API, is there an up-to-date description on the authentication process somewhere?
2) For latest release (2.2.1) I saw these notes: "API changes: - Authentication process with Secure Login.
- Replaced http protocol with https for external APIs."
===================================================================
Question: Exactly what does external APIs refer to here?
I'd really appreciate any further information regarding my questions, and while I did search around the forum before posting I understand there is always the chance of me missing some already existing thread with the info I am looking for - if so, feel free to point me in that direction
Thanks in advance!
