Description:

pyupgw 0.12

Unisenza Plus is an IoT family that connects smart thermostats and other devices
manufactured by Purmo to a cloud service via the
Unisenza Plus Gateway. pyupgw is a python client for that cloud service.
Currently, only the smart thermostats are supported.

Note
The author of this library is not affiliated with Purmo, the vendor of
Unisenza Plus, in any way. The library and its conformance to the Unisenza
Plus API is implemented on a best-effort basis. No warranty of any kind is
provided.


Installation
Install the library using pip or your favorite package management tool:
$ pip install pyupgw


Usage
The following sample program illustrates how to use the client
import asyncio
from pyupgw import create_client, Client, Device, DeviceType

def report_changes(device: Device, changes: dict):
print(f"{device.get_name()} has new changes:")
for key, value in changes.items():
print(f"- {key}: {value}")

async def main():
async with create_client("username", "password") as client:

# Refresh the device state from the server.
# The coroutine completes when the new state is available.
await client.refresh_all_devices()

print("Gateways:")
for gateway in client.get_gateways():
print(f"- {gateway.get_name()}")

print("Devices:")
for gateway, device in client.get_devices():
if device.get_type() == DeviceType.HVAC:
print(
f"- {device.get_name()},",
f"target temperature: {device.get_target_temperature()},",
f"current temperature: {device.get_current_temperature()}",
)

device = client.get_gateways()[0].get_children()[0]

# Send the updated temperature to the server.
# The coroutine completes when the server accepts the change,
# but hasn't necessarily applied it yet.
# You can subscribe to get notified when the change is eventually applied.
device.subscribe(report_changes)
await device.update_target_temperature(20.0)
await asyncio.sleep(10)

if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
The underlying API is based on MQTT and totally asynchronous. The library
automatically synchronizes when fetching fresh state for the devices, but the
same is not true for the update_X() calls. The server may not even report
some updates, for instance when setting the target temperature to the same value
it already has.
The sample program naively uses asyncio.sleep() to ensure it has time to
receive the notification about the newly applied temperature value. An actual
program would do something more efficient, like update GUI elements or dispatch
messages to an event loop in response to the callbacks.


Command-line interface
The package contains a command-line interface. To install the dependencies,
include the cli extras:
$ pip install pyupgw[cli]
$ pyupgw --help


Goals
The main reason for this project was to develop a client library for a Home
Assistant integration for Unisenza Plus.
The client library is intended to give a robust and simplified interface to the
most important functionality of the smart thermostats. By hiding complexity it
trades off some degree of control.
The library only supports a subset of features of the devices. New features may
be added on a case-by-case basis.


Non-goals
The author of the library is in no way affiliated with the company Purmo, and
not working using official API documentation. The code is based on
experimentation with the equipment at hand, and will likely never cover all the
possible features of the products.
The Unisenza Plus service is based on the UleEco
IoT platform. Hence, the package might work with some modifications with other
solutions based on the platform. However, since the author does not have
official documentation, this is not guaranteed and a universal UleEco client is
not in the scope of this project for the time being.
The intended use of the library is developing scripts and other automation for
the Purmo thermostats. The underlying API contains data specifically intended to
be consumed by the official Unisenza Plus app (related to presentation and
notifications, for instance). There is no intention to support those features in
this library.
