Python3 API for the Bticino Myhomeserver1 gateway

brownpaperbag

But you try and tell the young people today that...

installation

pip install brownpaperbag

Configuration

You need to use the official app, and to be logged with the installer code

You'll need the open password: From the app, you can set it on Other>System. You'll also need your gateway's IP: Again from the app, you can find it in Other>Network

So if your ip is 192.168.1.10 and your password is qwerty:

export BPB_HOST=192.168.1.10
export BPB_PASSWORD=qwerty
export BPB_PORT=20000
