Pattern for keeping a rolling temperature-trend sample buffer in Hubitat state, computing slope over a configurable window, and classifying rising/falling/steady/unknown.
Implement Tuya Local v3.3 Groovy drivers on Hubitat using rawSocket, AES-128-ECB, queued retries, and defensive frame parsing.
Use Hubitat async HTTP plus a request queue to authenticate with Cognito, cache tokens in state, refresh proactively, and replay a single 401-failed request.
When two agents produce overlapping skills in one session, consolidate by merging unique content into the highest-confidence existing skill.
Never let cached-state dedup bypass session validity in cloud-backed Hubitat drivers.

Use this skill when a user asks about writing a Hubitat driver for a device whose cloud API has been revoked, broken, or rate-limited to death by the manufacturer.
"Is the API closed by policy or broken by accident?"
| Signal | Broken by accident | Closed by policy |
|---|---|---|
| Company public statement | None | CTO/PR statement with reason |
| Developer page | Exists, possibly stale | 404 or "authorized partners only" |
| Community projects | Patching | Retired, forking to hardware alternatives |
| Time pattern | Intermittent breaks with repairs | Continuous escalation → final block |
| Partner program | Open/free | Commercial fee required |
MyQ is the canonical "closed by policy" case (October 2023, formal CTO statement, partner fee required, HA removed integration, homebridge-myq retired).

Hardware alternatives expose documented local REST APIs that are:
Apply the hubitat-iot-consumer-auth-dead-ends skill:
Verdict as of 2026-05-18: Cloud API permanently closed.
When a hardware alternative runs ESPHome firmware, the REST API is standardized and stable.
Entity domains: sensor, binary_sensor, switch, light, cover, fan, select
Read state (GET):
GET http://<ip>/<domain>/<entity_name>
→ {"id": "cover/Garage Door", "state": "OPEN", "value": 1.0, "current_operation": "IDLE"}
Write/command (POST):
POST http://<ip>/cover/Garage Door/open → opens
POST http://<ip>/cover/Garage Door/close → closes
POST http://<ip>/cover/Garage Door/stop → stops
POST http://<ip>/switch/Dehumidifier/turn_on
POST http://<ip>/light/Main Light/turn_on?brightness=128
Note on entity name format (as of ESPHome 2026.8.0):
The id field in REST responses will switch to domain/entity_name format in ESPHome 2026.8.0, replacing legacy domain-object_id format. Any driver reading the id field should be aware of this migration.
Not usable from Hubitat: SSE stream at /events (streaming HTTP; Hubitat sandbox blocks persistent connections).
Poll pattern: asynchttpGet at 5-second intervals. HealthCheck Pattern A (full HealthCheck + ping() because it's local LAN).
