# Android App Integration Guide Dashboard Proxy
This document outlines how to build an Android application that consumes the data provided by your AC Infinity Proxy API.
## Base Configuration
* **Base URL**: `https://dev.seedheads.de/ac/`
* **Protocol**: HTTPS
## API Endpoints
The proxy server exposes two main endpoints that return JSON data.
### 1. Get All Devices
Retrieves a list of all devices and their ports currently stored in the database.
* **Endpoint**: `GET /api/devices`
* **Full URL**: `https://dev.seedheads.de/ac/api/devices`
* **Response Format**: JSON Array
* **Example Response**:
```json
[
{
"dev_name": "Tent Controller",
"port": 1,
"port_name": "Fan Inline"
},
{
"dev_name": "Tent Controller",
"port": 2,
"port_name": "Light Top"
}
]
```
### 2. Get Historical Data
Retrieves historical sensor readings for a specific device and port.
* **Endpoint**: `GET /api/history`
* **Full URL**: `https://dev.seedheads.de/ac/api/history`
* **Query Parameters**:
* `devName` (string, required): The name of the controller (e.g., "Tent Controller"). URL-encoded.
* `port` (integer, required): The port number (e.g., `1`).
* `range` (string, optional): The time range. Defaults to `day`.
* `day`: Last 24 hours.
* `week`: Last 7 days.
* `month`: Last 30 days.
* **Example Request**:
`GET https://dev.seedheads.de/ac/api/history?devName=Tent%20Controller&port=1&range=day`
* **Response Format**: JSON Array of objects
* **Example Response**:
```json
[
{
"timestamp": "2023-10-27T10:00:00Z",
"temp_c": 24.5,
"humidity": 60.2,
"vpd": 1.1,
"fan_speed": 5,
"on_speed": 0,
"off_speed": 0
},
...
]
```
*Note: Timestamps are returned in UTC (ending in 'Z'). You must convert them to the local timezone within the Android app.*
## Android Implementation Recommendations
### Networking Library
Use **Retrofit** with **OkHttp** for robust networking. It simplifies URL handling, parameter encoding, and JSON parsing.
**Dependencies (`build.gradle`):**
```groovy
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0'
```
### Data Models (Kotlin)
```kotlin
data class Device(
@SerializedName("dev_name") val devName: String,
@SerializedName("port") val port: Int,
@SerializedName("port_name") val portName: String
)
data class Reading(
val timestamp: String,
@SerializedName("temp_c") val tempC: Float,
@SerializedName("humidity") val humidity: Float,
@SerializedName("vpd") val vpd: Float,
@SerializedName("fan_speed") val fanSpeed: Int
)
```
### Retrofit Service Interface
```kotlin
interface AcApi {
@GET("api/devices")
suspend fun getDevices(): List<Device>
@GET("api/history")
suspend fun getHistory(
@Query("devName") devName: String,
@Query("port") port: Int,
@Query("range") range: String = "day"
): List<Reading>
}
```
### Handling Timezones
Since the API returns UTC timestamps (e.g., `2023-10-27T10:00:00Z`), use `java.time` (API 26+) to format them for the user's local device time.
```kotlin
val instant = Instant.parse(reading.timestamp)
val localDateTime = LocalDateTime.ofInstant(instant, ZoneId.systemDefault())
```
## Security Considerations
* **Authentication**: Currently, the proxy at `https://dev.seedheads.de/ac/` is publicly accessible (if not protected by Basic Auth in Nginx). If you add Basic Auth to Nginx, you will need to add an `Authorization` header to your Retrofit client.
* **HTTPS**: Ensure your Android app allows HTTPS connections (default behavior).
## Future Enhancements
* **Push Notifications**: The current API is poll-based. For real-time alerts (e.g., high temp), you would need to implement a background worker in Android (`WorkManager`) to poll the API periodically, or implement Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) on the Node.js server.
