connectlife 0.10.0

A Python library for communicating with the ConnectLife API

Python library for ConnectLife API

Used by devices from Hisense, Gorenje, ASKO & ATAG and ETNA Connect.

The goal of this library is to support a native Home Assistant integration for devices that uses the ConnectLife API.

The code is based on Connectlife API proxy / MQTT Home Assistant integration (MIT license).

Software is provided as is - use at your own risk. There is probably no way to harm your physical devices, but there is no guarantee that you don't experience other problems, for instance locking your ConnectLife account.

Licensed under GPLv3.

To test out the library (users in Russia/CIS may need to pass the --trir option):

pip install connectlife
python -m connectlife.dump --username <username> --password <password> [--trir]

This will log in to the ConnectLife API using the provided username and password, and write a JSON file with all returned fields for each appliance that is registered with the account. Pass --format dd to instead write a mapping file YAML skeleton to be used with connectlife-ha.

Note: the property set a device reports is not authoritative. A device may report properties it does not actually support (and may omit ones its feature code defines), so two units with the same device type/feature code can report different properties. Treat dumps as a starting point for a mapping, not ground truth — cross-check controls against the device or the ConnectLife app.

To instead dump each appliance's energy statistics (both the air_duct_energy and energyConsumptionCurve endpoints), use --query energy:

python -m connectlife.dump --username <username> --password <password> --query energy

To dump each appliance's per-device static data (the query_static_data endpoint, keyed by puid), use --query static:

python -m connectlife.dump --username <username> --password <password> --query static

Because it's keyed by the device's puid, the response can differ between two physical models that report the same device type/feature code. The response echoes the puid, so the dump redacts the puid, wifi_id and device_id — but the schema is gateway-defined and may contain other identifiers, so review each file before sharing. (For the per-feature-code property list, use --query property-list below.)

To fetch the property list for a specific device type and feature code (any code, not just ones on your account), use --query property-list:

python -m connectlife.dump --username <username> --password <password> \
    --query property-list --device-type-code <type-code> --device-feature-code <feature-code>

The Home Assistant integration is currently in discovery phase. Please contribute your device dumps to help the development.
