python-allnet

Async Python client for ALLNET MSR (Messen Steuern Regeln) devices and JSON-capable ALLNET managed switches.

This library is the external dependency for the Home Assistant allnet integration. It has no Home Assistant imports and can be used standalone.

Supported devices

• ALLNET MSR JSON API devices (ALL3500 and compatible) — sensors, binary sensors, digital actors (relays)
• JSON-capable ALLNET managed switches (planned)

Installation

pip install allnet

Usage

import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from allnet import AllnetClient

async def main():
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        client = AllnetClient(
            host="192.168.1.100",
            username="xmlrpc",   # optional
            password="secret",   # optional
            use_ssl=False,
            session=session,
        )

        # Device information (model, MAC, firmware version)
        device_info = await client.async_get_device_info()
        print(device_info.model, device_info.sw_version)

        # All channels (sensors + actors)
        channels = await client.async_get_channels()
        for ch in channels:
            print(ch.id, ch.name, ch.kind, ch.value, ch.unit)

        # Switch a digital actor on/off
        await client.async_set_channel_state("6", True)

asyncio.run(main())

Channel kinds

Error handling

from allnet.exceptions import (
    AllnetAuthenticationError,   # 401/403 — wrong credentials
    AllnetConnectionError,       # Network unreachable / timeout
    AllnetUnsupportedFirmwareError,  # 404 — JSON API not available
    AllnetCommandError,          # Actor command rejected
)
