So after much fking about and eventually giving in and resorting to Claude to get it working.
I managed to get what is essentially a completely non-integratable piece of my home in to HA. Our appartment building has an Urmet intercom system that has an app that allows you to answer door interactions from your phone and let people in even if you're not home.
The app is kinda clunky and proper dogshit when it comes to reliability so I thought. I wonder how hard it would be to build something that I can host on my HomeLab that mimics the way the app works and then have HA call on that in order to have it unlock my door.
So long story short after grep'ing around in the decompiled app and writing some C and then being humbled and embarrassed by how bad my C has gotten and resorting to Claude to bring the ship in to port. I can now trigger the door to the front of my appartment complex from HA via a rest command (≧▽≦).
