aio-powerrise-api 0.1.0.dev2

Async Python API for Hunter Douglas PowerRise shade systems using the Platinum Hub

aio-powerrise-api

Async Python API for Hunter Douglas PowerRise® shade systems.

This library communicates with a PowerRise® Platinum bridge (PlatLink-PDBU) over a plain-text TCP protocol on port 522 and exposes an API that is intentionally similar to aio-powerview-api so that it can be integrated into Home Assistant with minimal effort.

Quick Start

import asyncio
from aiopowerrise import Hub

async def main():
    hub = Hub("192.168.1.100")
    await hub.connect()

    # Get all data
    house = await hub.get_data()

    # List shades
    for shade_id, shade in house.shades.items():
        print(f"Shade {shade_id}: {shade.name} position={shade.position}")

    # Move a shade (0-100%)
    await hub.shades.move(shade_id=1, position=50)

    # Activate a scene
    await hub.scenes.activate(scene_id=0)

    await hub.close()

asyncio.run(main())

CLI

A command-line tool is included for testing and debugging:

# Discover hubs on the network
powerrise-cli discover

# Get all data from hub
powerrise-cli --host 192.168.1.100 get-data

# List shades
powerrise-cli --host 192.168.1.100 shades

# Move a shade
powerrise-cli --host 192.168.1.100 move-shade --id 1 --position 50

# Activate a scene
powerrise-cli --host 192.168.1.100 activate-scene --id 0

# List scenes
powerrise-cli --host 192.168.1.100 scenes

# List rooms
powerrise-cli --host 192.168.1.100 rooms

Architecture

The library follows the same pattern as aio-powerview-api:

• Hub – Top-level entry point; manages connection to the bridge
• Shades – Collection manager for shade resources
• Scenes – Collection manager for scene resources
• Rooms – Collection manager for room resources
• BaseShade – Individual shade resource with move/open/close/stop
• Scene – Individual scene resource with activate
• Room – Individual room resource

Protocol

The PowerRise® Platinum bridge speaks a simple line-based text protocol on TCP port 522. Commands start with $ and fields are separated by -.

Command	Description
$dat	Retrieve all data (rooms, shades, scenes, positions, etc.)
$dmy	Keep-alive / dummy ping
$pss{shade}-{feature}-{level}-	Set shade position (level 0-255)
$rls	Release shade (after position command)
$inm{scene}-	Invoke / activate a scene
$mrp{scene}-{room}-{cmd}-{level}-0-	Position scene+room
$sml{scene}-{shade}-{linked}-	Set scene link

Data Parsing

After sending $dat, the hub streams lines prefixed with $ identifiers:

Prefix	Content
$cr	Room definition
$cs	Shade definition
$cm	Scene definition
$cp	Shade position
$cq	Scene-shade link
$cx	Scene-room position
$ct	House title
$ca	Timed event
$firm	Firmware version
$LEDl	LED brightness
$upd01-	End of data marker
