Hi,
I was wondering whether Astaro provide any form of XML web service interface to the ASG (I don't believe so at the moment, but thought I'd check).
The specific use case I have is that I'd like to be able to switch my Nest thermostats to Away mode as soon as my house is empty, which I could detect by checking whether my iPhone is currently attached to the ASG Wi-Fi network. If I were able to query the list of wireless clients from the ASG, I could check whether my iPhone was currently active on the network and, if not, send a JSON request to the (unofficial) Nest API to switch to Away mode.
I expect there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing, but it strikes me that the ASG is the source of truth for most things on my network. Being able to query it somehow would be more reliable than performing network scans (and I'm not sure what I'd look for to detect an iOS device - Bonjour perhaps, but I don't know if this would be as reliable).
Thanks,
Martin.
