API / Smart Home Integration
I just purchased a Yeti Pro 4000 and was surprised that I was not able to connect it to Home Assistant like I can with Yeti 3000X. It would seem that the API on the Pro 4000 is different than the 3000X, or it has been removed altogether. I can only reach a root page that states "Goal Zero Yeti 6G." If the Pro 4000 has an…
