    Sometimes when you talk out loud with/to somebody, ideas pop into your head. @Viss mentioned pulling in data from his weather station using an API. I'm using a Sainlogic weather station, which has no documented API interface.

    I know I can hear the transmitter posting weather data to the receiver using 433MHz receiver, which I constructed. But his statement on using an API made me question my understanding again. Did some poking and found this [1] github repo.

    [1]: github.com/3ricj/Sainlogic.ASC

    @Viss I decided to test mine, the actual weather station itself doesn't have a web service on it, but the receiver in the house _does_ have a web service on it.

    Lo and behold... the dashboard in the house does respond to `http://<ip>/client?command=record` and has the same data as the dashboard.

    So I can do one of a few things now:
    - Finish the 433MHz receiver
    - Just pull the data from the website
    - Both for funsies

    @Viss indeed! I swear I'd looked for it before and not found anything - but that git repo is 3 weeks old, so maybe somebody found something by pulling the firmware from the ESP8266 from the panel.

    Now to put the bits together for HA to pull the data from that. Probably easier than me trying to build case for the ESP32+CC1101 board :)
