Best way to get started with a PHP API?

I am just getting started with eWeLink and would like to control/read devices using a PHP API.

I have loaded kukkjanos/ewelink from github and am getting a number of errors.

I want to read the temperature back from a SonOff temperature sensor and plot it on a web page.

Is this the best route for PHP API? Is there a better route?

Rgds,
Barry.

I have made an API gateway for ewelink, just some days ago: https://github.com/PJanisio/ewelinkApiPhp

If you are still interested in doing this, please check out my recent php script. I am also reading a temperature sensor. https://mresoftware.com/Coolkit_API.htm

Great stuff! But still when you want to fetch live voltage, power and currentyou need to use websockets connection and ping the device, its known issue in HA and other implementations.

So again :slight_smile: GitHub - PJanisio/ewelinkApiPhp: API connector for Sonoff / ewelink devices more advertisement needed ;D
