Is there a way to use the rfid chips of other brand filaments with the AMS yet?

Discussion

I’ve noticed some companies do their own thing for this filament with more and more offering refills thankfully - many with rfids. I have a great respooling system but hate doing it and would much rather do refills. Poly and any cubic have rfids but the AMS can’t read them… that’s literally Bambu’s “fault” if that’s the right word.

I understand it’s a closed ecosystem - but I feel it shouldn’t be, and either we should be able to read an rfid chip and programmatically as it and use it ourselves, or let other manufacturers submit tier info to bambu to be included in the auto detection process.

Does home assistant let us see the rfid values? Does bambuddy? Does anyone know how to tap into the AMS interface to read that data? A simple read of the rfid and then trigger of the AMS slot x to match the programmed rfid it scanned, bambu or not.

If we can’t get into the AMS interface - has anyone considered making a third party rfid reader that integrates with baby and others?
