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.

Dumping your appliances

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]

Omit password to be prompted for it instead. Make sure to always use single quotes around passwords with special characters.

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.

Pass --query to dump something else. Each query writes one file per appliance, except property-list. The per-device queries redact the puid, wifi_id and device_id that the responses echo, but the responses are undocumented and may contain other identifiers, so review each file before sharing.

Energy statistics

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

Writes <type>-<feature>-energy.json with the responses from both energy endpoints (air_duct_energy and energyConsumptionCurve).

Static data

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

Writes <type>-<feature>-static.json with the query_static_data response: the settings and values the device supports, and its firmware versions. It's per device, so it can differ between two models that report the same device type/feature code.

System data

python -m connectlife.dump --username <username> --query system

Writes <type>-<feature>-system.json with the query_system_data response. For a dishwasher it lists the programs with their position, duration and which options each allows.

Self-check

python -m connectlife.dump --username <username> --query self-check

Writes <type>-<feature>-self-check.json with the faults the device can report (e.g. Error-F11, with the value that means a fault and a description) and the current ones.

Property list

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

Writes <type>-<feature>-property-list.json with the property list for a device type and feature code (any code, not just ones on your account).

Hourly power

There is no dump query for this, but the library has get_hour_power(puid, date) for the hourly energy use of a day. Non-AC devices reply with zeros.

OAuth (browser sign-in)

OAuthConnectLifeApi uses tokens from the browser sign-in on oauth.hijuconn.com, which also supports Google, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft accounts and accepting updated terms. The caller runs the authorization code flow and refreshes the tokens (in Home Assistant, the OAuth2 config flow), and passes a callback returning a valid access token:

from connectlife.oauth import (
    OAUTH2_AUTHORIZE_URL,
    OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID,
    OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET,
    OAUTH2_TOKEN_URL,
    OAuthConnectLifeApi,
    generate_source_id,
)

api = OAuthConnectLifeApi(get_access_token, source_id=stored_source_id)
appliances = await api.get_appliances()

The client ID and secret are Hisense's client for Home Assistant. Requests go to Hisense's third-party API (juapi-3rd.hijuconn.com), except energy statistics, which it doesn't have; those go to the app gateway with the same token. If the API rejects the token twice, LifeConnectAuthError is raised and the sign-in should be repeated. Persist the source_id.

Test server

To use the test server to support developing the Home Assistant integration, clone this repo and see DEVELOPMENT.md.
