Example

import boschshcpy

# Create session
session = boschshcpy.SHCSession(controller_ip="192.168.25.51", certificate='cert.pem', key='key.pem')
session.information.summary()

device = session.device('roomClimateControl_hz_5')
service = device.device_service('TemperatureLevel')
print(service.temperature)

# Update this service's state
service.short_poll()

# Start long polling thread in background
session.start_polling()

# Do work here
...

# Stop polling
session.stop_polling()

# Trigger intrusion detection system
intrusion_control = session.device_helper.intrusion_detection_system
intrusion_control.arm_instant()

Usage guide

Before accessing the Bosch Smart Home Controller, a client must be registered on the controller. For this a valid cert/key pair must be provided to the controller. To start the client registration, press and hold the button on the controller until the led starts flashing. More information here
