Smart Plug with open API

Smart Plug with API (Rowi)

Rowi is a developer edition of the Kiwi Warmer Smart Plug, equipped with a powerful Espressif ESP32 MCU, an open REST API, Mobile SDK and integration with the ESPHome ecosystem. Rowi can be used for automation projects to control any electrical device connected to the 230V mains voltage. In addition to the switching capabilities, Rowi also has an integrated temperature sensor SHTC3 that can be accessed through the API.

REST API Example

Controlling a Rowi device using REST API is super easy. Below example shows how to to turn on and off the relay remotely using the curl command. Detailed API reference can be provided upon request. Please send us an email if you would like to receive a full product manual including API reference.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://192.168.0.164/setRelayStatus -d '{"data": "on"}'

OFF
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://192.168.0.164/setRelayStatus -d '{"data": "off”}'
