Unofficial Sense Api

Access your Sense data.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'unofficial_sense_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install unofficial_sense_api

Usage

Getting Realtime Data (starts a websocket to wss://clientrt.sense.com/monitors/#{api.first_monitor_id}/realtimefeed)

require 'sense_api'
require 'pp'

api = SenseApi.new("USERNAME", "PASSWORD")

count = 0
api.realtime do |json|
  pp json

  # Be sure to return :exit to terminate the connection and shut down EventMachine!
  count += 1
  count > 5 ? :exit : nil
end

Use fetch to pull from REST endpoints of your choice. None have been added to this gem yet.

require 'sense_api'
api = SenseApi.new("USERNAME", "PASSWORD")

timeline = api.fetch("https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/users/#{api.user_id}/timeline?n_item=30")

trends = api.fetch("https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/history/trends?monitor_id=#{api.first_monitor_id}&scale=WEEK&start=2017-10-23T04:00:00.000Z")

devices = api.fetch("https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/monitors/#{api.first_monitor_id}/devices?include_merged=true")

first_device_id = devices.first["id"]

first_device_details = api.fetch("https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/monitors/#{api.first_monitor_id}/devices/#{first_device_id}")
first_device_hostory = api.fetch("https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/history/usage?monitor_id=#{api.first_monitor_id}&granularity=MINUTE&start=2017-10-21T11:00:00.000Z&frames=5400&device_id=#{first_device_id}")

Here are the endpoints we know about so far:

  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/users/#{api.user_id}/timeline?n_item=30"
  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/history/trends?monitor_id=#{api.first_monitor_id}&scale=WEEK&start=2017-10-23T04:00:00.000Z"
  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/history/usage?monitor_id=#{api.first_monitor_id}&granularity=SECOND&start=2017-10-25T03:54:00.000Z&frames=5400" (granularity seems to accept SECOND or MINUTE)

List devices:

  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/monitors/#{api.first_monitor_id}/devices?include_merged=true"

You can add a device_id to the history request:

  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/history/usage?monitor_id=#{api.first_monitor_id}&granularity=MINUTE&start=2017-10-21T11:00:00.000Z&frames=5400&device_id=SOME_DEVICE_ID"

And get the data for devices:

  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/monitors/#{api.first_monitor_id}/devices/always_on"
  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/monitors/#{api.first_monitor_id}/devices/unknown"
  • "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/monitors/#{api.first_monitor_id}/devices/SOME_DEVICE_ID"

Accessing the API with Curl

If you'd like, you can skip Ruby entirely and talk to the Sense API with curl:

curl -k --data "email=email@example.com" --data "password=URL_ENCODED_PASSWORD" -H "Sense-Client-Version: 1.17.1-20c25f9" -H "X-Sense-Protocol: 3" -H "User-Agent: okhttp/3.8.0" "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/authenticate"

The response will have an access_token, as well as a user_id and a monitors array that you can use to access the Sense APIs. For example:

curl -k -H "Authorization: bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" -H "Sense-Client-Version: 1.17.1-20c25f9" -H "X-Sense-Protocol: 3" -H "User-Agent: okhttp/3.8.0" "https://api.sense.com/apiservice/api/v1/app/history/usage?monitor_id=A_MONITOR_ID&granularity=SECOND&start=2017-10-24T05:36:00.000Z&frames=5400"

Development

You can run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
