Map and multiple floors about sharkiq HOT 4 OPEN

So, it's funny you should mention that.  The API clearly has support for multiple floors.  I haven't played with it much, but the properties are definitely there. Like, if you instantiate the Python API, there are elements in the properties_full dict for multi-floor support.

Along these lines, one thing I've really wanted to do but haven't had a chance is to figure out the floor image format.

As far as Shark goes, I haven't heard anything, but the app is super easy to MITM and they haven't complained, so /shrug I guess? Ayla's API is pretty well documented if you want to poke around. Links to their API browser are:

• https://docs.aylanetworks.com/cloud-services/api-browser/

Sounds good, I'll dig into it. Thanks for the links.

The map format would be interesting, but seems unnecessary to support what I'm looking for, especially if the API already has some form of support for the concept.

Any update on this ? Is the map in memory or stored in the Ayla cloud ?

Regarding this: I've poked around with the API manually, and found that the actual map files appear to be some binary storage, likely of point data which gets rendered on the device locally. I can't determine the format of the file though, and it's entirely possible that it's a proprietary format. I'm not sure how to identify it. But it's not a gzip, zip, tar, png, or jpg.

For reference: When fetching properties from the API, one of them should look like this (some content removed for privacy):

If you then follow the URL found within the value field, you get something like this:

That last url is a signed AWS S3 url which allows you to download the binary file. Now what to do with it? I don't know if we'll ever know.
