Why is the reverse proxy required?

[jakubvf]

Hi, I'm looking for a weather station that can be hooked up to Home Assistant and stumbled upon this.

I don't understand the requirement for the reverse proxy as it's described in the README:

As the stations FW cannot handle url with /path we need a little help with http proxy. You can use your already set proxy server or setup a new one.

Could you elaborate on this?

Thanks.

PS Díky za práci na projektu 👍
