Moving the discussion here as this is the most up to date repo

I'd be interested in working together to develop a library and integration with a view to merging into HA core.

I see your point about having a minimal python library that enumerates Vs a hard coded one. Although I think the HA core team prefers the heavy lifting to be done on the library side especially basic error handling and retries etc.

Hardware testing wise I have a Beryl and a convexa.

I'd be happy to give you write access to this repo, but I understand if you'd prefer to fork

Also OpenWRT, which GL inet is based uses a JSON RPC API https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/14290/SzKPUgEo so it's important to check we're not just duplicating https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/luci/

Here is the internet archive of the old API documentation which gives quite a comprehensive list of endpoints.

Just got word back from GLI, the API doesn't have an enumeration endpoint.

I'd then think the best would be to focus on the sensors and control exposed from the 'new' rpc API.

I think I'll get a PR done using my Puli AX and see what else is needed on this side. My first goal is to get reliable battery, charging, IP and presence detection in the next couple of weeks.

I've made some commits and releases to the library and the custom component over the last 24hrs so do pull/sync

Sounds great once I start digging in I'll let you know. I just started a summer class but should have ~10 hrs before the end of this month. Keep you posted, and thanks for doing all you've done and the replies so far
