actron-neo-api 0.1.80

Python API wrapper for the Actron Neo API.

ActronNeoAPI

The ActronNeoAPI library provides an interface to communicate with Actron Air Neo systems, enabling integration with Home Assistant or other platforms. This Python library offers methods for authentication, token management, and interacting with AC systems, zones, and settings.

---

Features

• Authentication:
  • OAuth2 device code flow for secure authentication.
  • Automatic and proactive token refresh.
  • Token expiration tracking.
• System Information:
  • Retrieve system details, statuses, and events.
  • Strongly-typed data models with Pydantic.
• Control Features:
  • Set system modes (e.g., COOL, HEAT, AUTO, FAN).
  • Enable/disable zones.
  • Adjust fan modes, continuous mode, and temperatures.
• Object-Oriented API:
  • Call control methods directly on model objects.
  • Intuitive interface for AC system, settings and zone management.
  • More natural integration with object-oriented code.
• Advanced State Management:
  • Efficient incremental state updates.
  • Event-based state tracking.
  • Type-safe access to device properties.

Installation

pip install actron-neo-api

Quick Start

See example.py for a comprehensive demonstration including OAuth2 authentication and API usage.

import asyncio
from actron_neo_api import ActronNeoAPI

async def main():
    # Initialize with refresh token - token will be refreshed on first API call
    api = ActronNeoAPI(refresh_token="your_refresh_token")
    
    # Get systems and update status
    systems = await api.get_ac_systems()
    api.systems = systems
    await api.update_status()

    # Get the status object
    serial = systems[0].get("serial")
    status = api.state_manager.get_status(serial)

    # Control your AC system using object-oriented methods
        # Through the AC system object
        await status.ac_system.set_system_mode(mode="COOL")

        # Through the settings object
        await status.user_aircon_settings.set_temperature(23.0)  # Mode inferred automatically
        await status.user_aircon_settings.set_fan_mode("HIGH")

        # Control zones directly
        zone = status.remote_zone_info[0]
        await zone.enable(is_enabled=True)
        await zone.set_temperature(22.0)  # Mode inferred from parent AC unit

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

OAuth2 Device Code Flow

The ActronNeoAPI uses OAuth2 device code flow for secure authentication without storing passwords.

Basic OAuth2 Setup

import asyncio
from actron_neo_api import ActronNeoAPI

async def oauth2_flow():
    # Initialize API
    async with ActronNeoAPI() as api:
        # Request device code
        device_code_response = await api.request_device_code()

        device_code = device_code_response["device_code"]
        user_code = device_code_response["user_code"]
        verification_uri = device_code_response["verification_uri"]
        verification_uri_complete = device_code_response["verification_uri_complete"]
        expires_in = device_code_response["expires_in"]
        interval = device_code_response["interval"]

        # Display instructions to user
        print("1. Open: %s" % verification_uri)
        print("2. Enter code: %s" % user_code)
        print("3. Or use direct link: %s" % verification_uri_complete)

        # Poll for authorization
        token_data = None
        max_attempts = expires_in // interval

        for attempt in range(max_attempts):
            token_data = await api.poll_for_token(device_code)
            if token_data:
                print("Authorization successful!")
                break
            await asyncio.sleep(interval)

        if token_data:
            # Get user info
            user_info = await api.get_user_info()
            print(f"Authenticated as: {user_info}")

            # Use API normally
            systems = await api.get_ac_systems()
            await api.update_status()

            # Save tokens for future use
            access_token = api.access_token
            refresh_token = api.refresh_token_value
            print(f"Save these tokens: {access_token}, {refresh_token}")

asyncio.run(oauth2_flow())

Restoring Saved Tokens

async def restore_session():
    # Initialize with refresh token - token will be refreshed on first API call
    api = ActronNeoAPI(refresh_token="your_saved_refresh_token")
    
    # API will automatically refresh tokens as needed
    systems = await api.get_ac_systems()

OAuth2 Endpoints

The library uses these OAuth2 endpoints:

• Token URL: https://nimbus.actronair.com.au/api/v0/oauth/token
• Authorize URL: https://nimbus.actronair.com.au/authorize
• Device Auth URL: https://nimbus.actronair.com.au/connect
• User Info URL: https://nimbus.actronair.com.au/api/v0/client/account

System Information

# Get all AC systems
systems = await api.get_ac_systems()
for system in systems:
    print(f"System: {system.get('name')} (Serial: {system.get('serial')})")

# Update status to get the latest data
await api.update_status()

# Access typed status for a system
serial = systems[0].get("serial")
status = api.state_manager.get_status(serial)

# Access system properties
if status and status.user_aircon_settings:
    print(f"Power: {'ON' if status.user_aircon_settings.is_on else 'OFF'}")
    print(f"Mode: {status.user_aircon_settings.mode}")
    print(f"Cool Setpoint: {status.user_aircon_settings.temperature_setpoint_cool_c}°C")

Object-Oriented Control API (Recommended)

The object-oriented API allows you to call methods directly on the model objects for a more intuitive developer experience:

AC System Control

# Get the status object
status = api.state_manager.get_status("AC_SERIAL")

# Direct AC system control
ac_system = status.ac_system

# Change system name
await ac_system.set_name("Living Room AC")

# Turn the system on and set mode
await ac_system.set_system_mode(mode="COOL")

# Get system information
firmware_version = await ac_system.get_firmware_version()
outdoor_unit_model = await ac_system.get_outdoor_unit_model()

# Reboot the system when needed
await ac_system.reboot()

# Force status update for this specific system
updated_status = await ac_system.update_status()

System Settings Control

# Get the status object
status = api.state_manager.get_status("AC_SERIAL")

# Settings control
settings = status.user_aircon_settings

# Turn the system on/off and set mode
await settings.set_system_mode(mode="COOL")

# Set temperature (mode is automatically inferred from current system mode)
await settings.set_temperature(23.0)

# Fan control
# Check continuous mode status
is_continuous = settings.continuous_fan_enabled
base_mode = settings.base_fan_mode

# Set fan mode (preserves current continuous mode setting)
await settings.set_fan_mode("HIGH")

# Enable/disable continuous fan mode
await settings.set_continuous_mode(enabled=True)

# Enable/disable features
await settings.set_quiet_mode(enabled=True)
await settings.set_turbo_mode(enabled=False)
await settings.set_away_mode(enabled=False)

Zone Control

# Get the status object
status = api.state_manager.get_status("AC_SERIAL")

# Enable/disable a zone directly
zone = status.remote_zone_info[0]  # First zone
await zone.enable(is_enabled=True)

# Set zone temperature (mode is automatically inferred from the parent AC unit)
await zone.set_temperature(22.0)

# Check zone temperature limits
print(f"Zone min temp: {zone.min_temp}°C")
print(f"Zone max temp: {zone.max_temp}°C")

# Enable/disable multiple zones
zones = status.remote_zone_info
for i, zone in enumerate(zones):
    if i == 0 or i == 2:  # Enable zones 0 and 2
        await zone.enable(is_enabled=True)
    else:  # Disable other zones
        await zone.enable(is_enabled=False)

Error Handling

from actron_neo_api import ActronNeoAPI, ActronNeoAuthError, ActronNeoAPIError

try:
    api = ActronNeoAPI(refresh_token="your_refresh_token")
    # API operations...
    systems = await api.get_ac_systems()
except ActronNeoAuthError as e:
    print(f"Authentication error: {e}")
except ActronNeoAPIError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")
