aio-panasonic-comfort-cloud: Asynchronous Python library for Panasonic Comfort Cloud API

This library provides asynchronous access to the Panasonic Comfort Cloud API, enabling developers to interact with Panasonic air conditioning units.

Installation

pip install aio-panasonic-comfort-cloud

Quick Start

Basic Usage

import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aio_panasonic_comfort_cloud import ApiClient

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        client = ApiClient("your_email@example.com", "your_password", session)
        
        # Start the session (authenticate and fetch devices)
        await client.start_session()
        
        # Get list of devices
        devices = client.get_devices()
        
        for device_info in devices:
            print(f"Device: {device_info.name}")
            
            # Get full device status
            device = await client.get_device(device_info)
            params = device.parameters
            
            print(f"  Power:       {params.power.name}")
            print(f"  Mode:        {params.mode.name}")
            print(f"  Fan Speed:   {params.fan_speed.name}")
            print(f"  Target Temp: {params.target_temperature}°C")
            print(f"  Inside Temp: {params.inside_temperature}°C")
        
        # Clean up the session
        await client.stop_session()

asyncio.run(main())

Controlling a Device

Use ChangeRequestBuilder for a fluent API to build and apply changes:

from aio_panasonic_comfort_cloud import ApiClient, ChangeRequestBuilder, constants

# ... (start session as above)

device = await client.get_device(devices[0])

builder = ChangeRequestBuilder(device)
builder.set_power_mode(constants.Power.On)
builder.set_hvac_mode(constants.OperationMode.Cool)
builder.set_target_temperature(24)
builder.set_fan_speed(constants.FanSpeed.Auto)

if builder.has_changes:
    await client.set_device_raw(device, builder.build())

Getting Energy History

from datetime import date
from aio_panasonic_comfort_cloud import constants

today = date.today().strftime("%Y%m%d")
history = await client.history(device_info.id, constants.DataMode.Day, today)

Aquarea (Air to Water heat pump) Support

Aquarea units show up in the same account/group listing as air conditioners, but expose a different status shape (hot water tank + heating/cooling zones instead of a single parameters object), so they're kept separate from get_devices():

devices = client.get_devices()          # air conditioners
aquarea_devices = client.aquarea_devices  # Aquarea heat pumps

for device_info in aquarea_devices:
    device = await client.get_aquarea_device(device_info)
    params = device.parameters

    print(f"{device_info.name}: {params.operation_status.name} / {params.operation_mode.name}")
    if params.has_tank:
        print(f"  Tank: {params.tank.temperature}°C -> {params.tank.heat_set}°C")
    for zone in params.zones:
        print(f"  Zone {zone.id} ({zone.name}): {zone.temperature}°C -> {zone.heat_set}°C")

    # Refresh status in place
    await client.try_update_aquarea_device(device)

Controlling a unit:

from aio_panasonic_comfort_cloud import constants

await client.set_aquarea_operation_status(device_info, constants.AquareaOperationStatus.On)
await client.set_aquarea_operation_mode(device_info, constants.AquareaUpdateOperationMode.Heat)
await client.set_aquarea_tank_temperature(device_info, 55)
await client.set_aquarea_tank_operation_status(device_info, constants.AquareaOperationStatus.On)
await client.set_aquarea_zone_temperature(device_info, zone_id=1, temperature=22, mode="heat")
await client.set_aquarea_quiet_mode(device_info, constants.AquareaQuietMode.Level1)
await client.set_aquarea_force_dhw(device_info, constants.AquareaForceDHW.On)

Eco/Comfort "special status" applies a per-zone temperature offset on top of the current setpoint rather than being a simple flag, so setting it needs the full AquareaDevice (not just its PanasonicDeviceInfo) to know the current setpoints/status to offset from:

device = await client.get_aquarea_device(device_info)
await client.set_aquarea_special_status(device, constants.AquareaSpecialStatus.Eco)
# ... or constants.AquareaSpecialStatus.Comfort, or None to turn it off

Energy consumption/cost history (heat/cool/tank breakdown) uses a separate endpoint from air conditioners, with its own AquareaDataMode (Day/Month/Year — no "Week", and different values from the AC-only DataMode):

from datetime import date

today = date.today().strftime("%Y%m%d")
consumption = await client.async_get_aquarea_consumption(
    device_info, constants.AquareaDataMode.Day, today
)
for entry in consumption:
    print(f"{entry.data_time}: heat={entry.heat_consumption}kWh cool={entry.cool_consumption}kWh "
          f"tank={entry.tank_consumption}kWh total={entry.total_consumption}kWh")

set_aquarea_special_status is unverified/best-effort like the HWS control methods above — see its docstring for why.

HWS (Standalone Heat Pump Hot Water Tank) Support

Some accounts have a standalone hot water heat pump (e.g. an HE-UM40CR), distinct from an Aquarea combi unit — it has no heating/cooling zones, just a tank. These report deviceType: "11" and, confusingly, do have a parameters object like an air conditioner, but with tank-specific fields (tankTemperature, hpuOperationStatus, operationMode, boostMode) instead — and the usual deviceStatus/deviceHistoryData calls reject them with a 403. They're kept separate from get_devices()/aquarea_devices:

hws_devices = client.hws_devices

for device_info in hws_devices:
    device = client.get_hws_device(device_info)  # no network call — built
                                                   # from the group listing
    params = device.parameters
    print(f"{device_info.name}: {params.tank_temperature}°C, boost={params.boost_mode.name}")

    # Refresh (re-fetches /device/group, there's no per-device status call)
    await client.try_update_hws_device(device)

Reading status this way is confirmed working against a real device. Control (set_hws_tank_temperature, set_hws_boost_mode, set_hws_operation_status, set_hws_operation_mode) targets /device/a2wInfoUpdate, reported from a Comfort Cloud app capture but not yet verified against a live account — please open an issue if it doesn't work as-is.

Terms / Privacy Policy Agreements

Panasonic occasionally updates its Terms of Use, Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy; when that happens, API calls start failing with error code 4103 until the account re-accepts them. You can fetch and handle this yourself:

# Fetch the current documents (set include_content=True to get the full text)
documents = await client.get_agreement_documents(include_content=True)
for doc in documents:
    print(doc["type"], doc["version"], doc.get("content", "")[:80])

# See what's already been accepted on this account
accepted = await client.get_agreement_status()

# Auto-accept anything outdated/missing (Terms, Privacy, Cookie Policy —
# the Turkey-only Service Agreement is intentionally excluded, matching
# the official app's behavior of only surfacing it to a subset of accounts)
await client.ensure_all_agreements_accepted()

This isn't called automatically on login — auto-accepting legal agreements is a decision your application should make deliberately, not something the library does silently. A typical pattern is to catch AgreementNotAcceptedError from start_session()/_get_groups() and call ensure_all_agreements_accepted() (or show the fetched document text to the user first) in response.

2FA / MFA Support

If your account has two-factor authentication enabled, start_session() raises MFARequiredError instead of logging in. Catch it, prompt the user for the OTP code from their authenticator app, and retry with it:

from aio_panasonic_comfort_cloud.exceptions import MFARequiredError

try:
    await client.start_session()
except MFARequiredError:
    otp_code = input("Enter the 2FA code: ")
    await client.start_session(otp_code=otp_code)

Alternative: Browser-Based Authentication

start_session() drives Panasonic's login page itself — it POSTs your credentials and scrapes the resulting HTML/redirects, which has to correctly handle whatever Auth0 renders for every connection type (password, MFA, social login, ...). As an alternative that sidesteps all of that, you can let a real browser (a WebView, the system browser, etc.) handle the login instead and just hand the result back to the library:

# 1. Build the URL and open it in any browser
auth_url, code_verifier = client.get_browser_authorization_url()
print(f"Open this URL and log in: {auth_url}")

# 2. After login, the browser is redirected to a URL starting with
#    "panasonic-iot-cfc://...callback?code=...". Capture that redirect
#    (however your application observes it — a WebView navigation listener,
#    a custom URI scheme handler, pasting it in, etc.) and finish the login:
redirect_url = input("Paste the redirect URL here: ")
await client.complete_browser_authentication(redirect_url, code_verifier)

# From here on, the client behaves exactly as if start_session() had been
# called — get_devices(), get_device(), etc. all work normally.
devices = client.get_devices()

This is entirely separate from start_session()/authenticate() — it doesn't change how the default username/password flow behaves, it's just another way to obtain the same tokens. Because Auth0's own hosted page handles the actual login, this path naturally supports MFA, social login, etc. without any special-casing in the library.
