ayla-iot-unofficial 1.5.0

Python API for Ayla IoT products

ayla-iot-unofficial

An unofficial python library for interacting with the Ayla IoT API. Intended to be generic for multi-device use.

Designed primarily to be a support package for Home Assistant integrations.

This library is heavily based off of sharkiq by @JeffResc.

PyPi

Ayla References

This device is integrated by/with Ayla Networks and (generally) uses their documentation.

These can be used as starting references:

• https://developer.aylanetworks.com/apibrowser
• https://docs.aylanetworks.com/reference/getting_started
• https://connection.aylanetworks.com/s/article/2080270

Installation

From PyPi

pip install ayla-iot-unofficial

Build from source

pip install build
pip build
pip install ayla-iot-unofficial

Library Requirements

Requires typical http interaction and datatype packages like requests, aiohttp, ujson

User Requirements

Reqiures either a username and password (typically a smart device's app login credentials) or a token (retrieved from device manufacturer's login flow) Requires an app_id and app_secret (granted by Ayla to the smart device's app for operation/integration)

The app_id and app_secret may need to be obtained from proxy traffic or other method.

Usage

Class Object

Instantiate a new class object through new_ayla_api() or Ayla() directly.

For devices that may be region specific, the new_ayla_api() function will create an Ayla() object based on the europe boolean.

Ayla Access_Token

Standard use should call sign_in() on the Ayla object after creation. This will perform the POST login request to obtain an access_token.

Some devices communicate with a different IoT domain but still expose the Ayla access_token. This access token can be passed into the Ayla object using _set_credentials() and the proper arguments.

Devices

By default, calling get_devices() will return a list of class specific device objects with updated properties for use.

See device.py for implemented device classes.

Typical Operation

python3 -m pip install ayla-iot-unofficial

import ayla_iot_unofficial

USERNAME = '[e-mail]'
PASSWORD = '$7r0nkP@s$w0rD'

ayla_api = new_ayla_api(USERNAME, PASSWORD, APP_ID, APP_SECRET)
ayla_api.sign_in()

devices = ayla_api.get_devices()

# Example Vacuum Devices
shark   = devices[0]

shark.set_operating_mode(OperatingModes.START)
shark.return_to_base()

# Example Water Softener Devices
softener = devices[1]

softener.capacity_remaining_gallons
softener.set_vacation_mode()

Login via token

Some devices like the De'Longhi DDSX Dehumidifier are accessed by logging into the manufacturer's app which then generates an SSO token for logging into Ayla Networks.

SSO_TOKEN = 'st2...'

ayla_api = new_ayla_api_sso(SSO_TOKEN, APP_ID, APP_SECRET)
ayla_api.sign_in()
