It’d be great if it were possible to interact with the Internet Bridge using a local API so that requests don’t need to be made via the internet. Presumably there’s some kind of http server on the device as HomeKit is able to communicate with it locally?

    You can do exactly this with Homekit / Home assistant. You don't need the bridge as HK or HA or any other compatible service will discover your HK compatible devices directly.

    The Tado bridge is a gateway to retrieve system information (devices, scheduling, extra features etc) from the tado API end point and "translate" that into HK compatible "instructions" sent to your Tado devices. In other words, the bridge and Homekit serve exactly the same purpose - but because the bridge is Tado ecosystem it is of course easier to use.

    Looks like Tado have just released an offline mode for V3, so there's probably little need to do this now.
