Bosch Smart Home Controller API Python Library

Bosch Smart Home Controller API Python Library

Python client library for the Bosch Smart Home Controller (SHC) local REST API. Communicates directly with the controller over mutual-TLS on the local network — no cloud, no Bosch account required. The official API documentation is available at github.com/BoschSmartHome/bosch-shc-api-docs.

Usage

Register a new client

Press and hold the button on the SHC controller until the LED starts flashing (registration mode). Then run:

boschshc_registerclient -ip YOUR_SHC_IP -pw YOUR_SHC_PASSWORD

This writes a certificate/key pair (cert.pem / key.pem) to the working directory.

Python API

import boschshcpy

# Create session (lazy=False enumerates all devices on connect)
session = boschshcpy.SHCSession(
    controller_ip="192.168.25.51",
    certificate="cert.pem",
    key="key.pem",
)
session.information.summary()

# Access a device and service
device = session.device("roomClimateControl_hz_5")
service = device.device_service("TemperatureLevel")
print(service.temperature)

# Short-poll a single service
service.short_poll()

# Start long-poll thread (non-blocking)
session.start_polling()

# ... do work, handle callbacks ...

# Stop polling
session.stop_polling()

# Arm the intrusion detection system
session.intrusion_system.arm()

# Raw API dump
scan_result = session.rawscan(command="devices")

Device helper accessors (SHCSession.device_helper)

SHCDeviceHelper exposes typed properties for each device category:

shutter_contacts, shutter_contacts2, shutter_controls,
micromodule_shutter_controls, micromodule_blinds, micromodule_relays,
micromodule_impulse_relays, micromodule_light_controls,
micromodule_light_attached, micromodule_dimmers, light_switches_bsm,
smart_plugs, smart_plugs_compact, smoke_detectors, smoke_detection_system,
climate_controls, heating_circuits, thermostats, wallthermostats,
roomthermostats, motion_detectors, motion_detectors2, twinguards,
universal_switches, camera_eyes, camera_360, camera_outdoor_gen2,
ledvance_lights, hue_lights, water_leakage_detectors,
presence_simulation_system

Other session attributes: session.scenarios, session.rooms, session.intrusion_system, session.emma (EMMA grid power).
