  • PowerSwitch
  • PowerMeter
  • Routing
  • PowerSwitchProgram
  • PresenceSimulationConfiguration
  • BinarySwitch
  • SmokeDetectorCheck
  • Alarm
  • ShutterControl
  • CameraLight
  • PrivacyMode
  • CameraNotification
  • IntrusionDetectionControl
  • Keypad
  • LatestMotion
  • AirQualityLevel
  • SurveillanceAlarm
  • BatteryLevel
  • Thermostat
  • WaterLeakageSensor
  • WaterLeakageSensorTilt
  • and more

The following device models are implemented, using the above services:

  • ShutterContact, ShutterContact2
  • ShutterControl, Micromodule Shutter
  • SmartPlug
  • SmartPlugCompact
  • LightControl, Micromodule Light Control, Micromodule Light Attached, Micromodule Relay
  • SmokeDetector
  • CameraEyes, Camera360
  • IntrusionDetectionSystem
  • RoomClimateControl
  • Thermostat, Thermostat2
  • WallThermostat
  • UniversalSwitch
  • MotionDetector
  • PresenceSimulationSystem
  • Twinguard
  • WaterLeakageSensor

Command line access to SHC

  1. Install a python (>=3.10) environment on your computer.
  2. Install latest version of boschshcpy, you should have at least version>=0.2.45.
pip install boschshcpy

Registering a new client

To register a new client, use the script boschshc_registerclient:

boschshc_registerclient -ip _your_shc_ip_ -pw _your_shc_password_

This will register your client and will write the associated certificate/key pair into your working directory. See also Usage Guide

Rawscans

To make a rawscan of your devices, use the script boschshc_rawscan

Make a rawscan of the public information

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ public_information

Make a rawscan of all devices

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ devices

Make a rawscan of a single device with a known device_id

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ device _your_device_id_

An exemplary output looks as follows:

    {
        "@type": "device",
        "rootDeviceId": "xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx",
        "id": "hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx",
        "deviceServiceIds": [
            "Thermostat",
            "BatteryLevel",
            "ValveTappet",
            "SilentMode",
            "TemperatureLevel",
            "Linking",
            "TemperatureOffset"
        ],
        "manufacturer": "BOSCH",
        "roomId": "hz_8",
        "deviceModel": "TRV",
        "serial": "30xxx",
        "profile": "GENERIC",
        "name": "Test Thermostat",
        "status": "AVAILABLE",
        "parentDeviceId": "roomClimateControl_hz_8",
        "childDeviceIds": []
    },

Make a rawscan of the associated services of a device

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ device_services _your_device_id_

The exemplary output will look as follows:

[
    {
        "@type": "DeviceServiceData",
        "id": "BatteryLevel",
        "deviceId": "hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx",
        "path": "/devices/hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx/services/BatteryLevel"
    },
    {
        "@type": "DeviceServiceData",
        "id": "Thermostat",
        "deviceId": "hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx",
        "state": {
            "@type": "childLockState",
            "childLock": "OFF"
        },
        "path": "/devices/hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx/services/Thermostat"
    },
...
]

Make a rawscan of the a service of a device, where the device_id as well as the service_id are known

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ device_service _your_device_id_ _your_service_id

Make a rawscan of the all scenarios

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ scenarios

Make a rawscan of the all rooms

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ rooms

Example code to use the boschshcpy library

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.intrusion_system
intrusion_control.arm()

# Get rawscan of devices
scan_result = session.rawscan(command="devices")

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.
