    “Hi Codex, please find attached website about the specification of my Battlesuit and use the documented API to create a plugin for Home Assistant that shows groups of sensor data.

    You are only allowed to use commands that retrieve data, you are not allowed to perform actions on the suit.

    Treat the suit like its API is not robust and in worse shape than a cheap toy: perform read calls slowly and sequentially with at least one minute in between.

    If possible please group data in meaningful categories, just like the tank and radar dome.

    My Home Assistant is the default on the local network, credentials are in credentials.txt.

    Please send me a text when you’re done. Kthnxbye”

      "The Kampfanzugskode isn't working well." - "Why can't we use KI to improve it? I've heard from Hans that this Klaus Kode is good at Programmierung." - "We can only use Mistral because of Regulierungen." - "Let's open source it then, so others can use Klaus Kode." - "Ja! This is indeed a legit Schlupfloch and a fantastische Idee!"

          I sense you&#x27;d enjoy the signup process for Klaus Programmieren: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;klausprogrammieren.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;klausprogrammieren.com&#x2F;

            oh my god, that&#x27;s gotta be the best European innovation I&#x27;ve ever seen in a long time

            this deserves an EU grant
