If any appliance manufacturer says that accessing your own appliance (that you own) outside their software ecosystem is financially “damaging” to them, they might as well be saying “Hey, just so you know, we’re collecting and selling your data.” If you have already purchased the appliance and their software is free, there is absolutely no other way that using a 3rd-party application could damage their bottom line.
Thanks, Haier, for letting me know never to purchase your products.

My non-expert take on this:
Don’t care. Competition is not damage.
Prove it.
The plug-ins never agreed to your ToS. Better sue your customers instead.

Yeah they have no legal basis for their ridiculous claims and demands. This company is just full of shit.

It is likely costing them more from whatever cloud service their platform is hosted on.
But, that’s on them for not putting locks on their api.
