Hello,

I don’t seem to understand how t access my device.

I have devices linked to the Home Control + (on IOS). I have a developer account on developer.legrand.com, created an application, got a subscription, and I managed to get it working for one home a few months ago.

Now, I am trying to add more home, but I can’t find how to link them to my developer account, and being able to “get user plants” for example.

How is the relationship between those Home Control + and developer account ?

Thanks.

Hello Théophile,

If your different houses are configured on the same Home + Control account, you should be able to see their data in the same JSON while making a call (the link is “automatic”)

I have some questions :

• Are the 2 houses configured on the same Home + Control account ?
• Are you still able to see the first house you configured a few months ago ?
• If no, are you sure your developer account is the same than the one you previously used ?
• Did you well subscribed to Starter Kit ?

If it still doesn’t resolve your issue, I’ll investigate more

Thanks for your quick answer.

How is the “automatic” link working exactly ?

If I want to use the API on an account that is not mine, how is it working ? The owner has to share the access ?

Théophile,

I mean “automatic” in the way that : if you have several houses declared in Home + Control app, you will retrieve all those houses via the same API call (as GET plant’s topology for example)

In H+C application you have a link “Manage my guest”. If you are invited to someone’s else house, you can use the API in the same way. Otherwise, you can’t have access to other houses

Okay, that what we have done already, my email address is in the “manage my guest”, I have accepted the invitation, and yet, I don’t see them in the API call. What could be the problem ?

Théophile,

Can you please copy/paste the call you send ?

And also copy/paste the JSON response ?

Thanks and have a good day,

Here is the curl request :

curl -v GET https://api.developer.legrand.com/hc/api/v1.0/plants HTTP/1.1 -H “Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: thehashcodeofmyKey” -H “Authorization: Bearer My_access_token”

Here is the json response :

{“plants”:[{“id”:”000000005e4e9a2f5eb8d19fdb0490a8″,”name”:”Boulevard Alfred Wallach”,”country”:”FR”}]}

I am only seeing for this home, and not the other homes. Need any more information ?

Ok your request is correct and you retrieve a JSON, so it’s not an issue with it

Click on the menu button on the top left corner and on the arrow next to your home’s name : can you see your 2 houses in your Home + Control application, like in the following screenshot ?

If you can’t see both of them, I’ll have to investigate more

Hello,

When I log into my account (loneept[at]gmail[dot]com), I can see only one home, wich is not the one that I get in the API.

When I log into the owner’s account, I can see that the sharing is enabled for my address on both homes. What could be the problem ?

Even weirder, when I login through web, at this address : https://homecontrol.legrand.com

I have only one home, and it is the one that I get in the API.

When I log into the app Home control +, I see only the other one. But the thing is, I don’t even have the same password between those 2 ways to authenticate.

Well, that’s the thing … When I log into my loneept@gmail.com address, I see only one home. And this is not the home that I get in the API.

When I log into the owner of the home account, we can see that both home have the same sharing to my email address (loneept@gmail.com) :

And same with the other one (wich I see in the API, but not when I log into my account) :

Hello Théophile,

To sum up (tell me if I misunderstood) : you want to have access to 2 homes via the same Home + Control account (loneept[at]gmail[dot]com) but you see only 1 home. Via the API, you have access to an other home than the one you see in your application

What you can do : ask to the other home owner to revoke your access to the home (the home you don’t see in H+C app). Then, ask him to redo the invitation process. You will receive an email to link its home to your account. Then, you will see in your application the 2 homes via the menu

Once done, try to do a new API call to GET plant’s topology. You should now see the 2 homes and their ID

Hoping it will fix your issue,

Hello Théophile,

I discussed your case with a Netatmo developer this morning

Your issue could come from the fact that we merged Legrand/Netatmo accounts. It’s possible that you have a Legrand account and the other owner a Legrand/Netatmo account

There is a procedure to follow in this case :

• Go in Home + Control application and then in the menu
• Go to “My account” and then on “Third-party applications”. Click on the link at the bottom “I can’t install a third-party application”
• Finally, follow the indicated process

It’s maybe the solution to your issue
