Thank you Abode for having a relatively simple API to reverse engineer. Hopefully in the future you’ll open it up for official use.

API calls faster than 60 seconds is not recommended as it can overwhelm Abode’s servers. Leverage the cloud push event notification functionality as much as possible. Please use this module responsibly.

pip3 install abodepy

The current state of a specific device using the device id:

$ abodepy -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --device ZW:xxxxxxxx

  Device Name: Garage Door Deadbolt, Device ID: ZW:xxxxxxxx, Device Type: Door Lock, Device Status: LockClosed

Additionally, multiple specific devices using the device id:

$ abodepy -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --device ZW:xxxxxxxx --device RF:xxxxxxxx

  Device Name: Garage Door Deadbolt, Device ID: ZW:xxxxxxxx, Device Type: Door Lock, Device Status: LockClosed
  Device Name: Back Door, Device ID: RF:xxxxxxxx, Device Type: Door Contact, Device Status: Closed

You can switch a device on or off, or lock and unlock a device by passing multiple arguments:

$ abodepy -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --lock ZW:xxxxxxxx --switchOn ZW:xxxxxxxx

  Locked device with id: ZW:xxxxxxxx
  Switched on device with id: ZW:xxxxxxxx

You can also block and listen for all mode and change events as they occur:

$ abodepy -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --listen

  No devices specified, adding all devices to listener...
  Listening for device updates...
  Device Name: Alarm area_1, Device ID: area_1, Status: standby, At: 2017-05-27 11:13:08
  Device Name: Garage Door Deadbolt, Device ID: ZW:xxxxxxxx, Status: LockOpen, At: 2017-05-27 11:13:31

  Device Name: Garage Door Deadbolt, Device ID: ZW:xxxxxxxx, Status: LockClosed, At: 2017-05-27 11:13:41
  Device Name: Alarm area_1, Device ID: area_1, Status: home, At: 2017-05-27 11:13:59
  Device update listening stopped.

If you specify one or more devices with the –device argument along with the –listen command then only those devices will listen for change events.

Keyboard interupt (CTRL+C) to exit listening mode.
