Once you've installed this plugin into Homebridge, it will automatically attempt to discover BlaQ devices using mDNS. If auto discovery does not work, the configuration is very straightforward - just use the GUI. If, for whatever reason, you don't want to do so, all you need to supply is a name, port, and host, like so:

### Implementation

BlaQ devices expose a [real-time event source API](https://esphome.io/web-api/index.html?highlight=events#event-source-api) as `/events`. This allows the plugin to stay up to date with no lag. The plugin caches the most recent status we've received for each accessory, enabling immediate replies to any status checks. For controlling, the BlaQ devices have a [REST API](https://konnected.readme.io/v2.0/reference/introduction) that is automatically enabled. Therefore, this plugin uses the API routes exposed for sending commands to control different accessories.
