evohome-async 0.3.15

An async client for connecting to Honeywell's TCC RESTful API.

evohome-async

Python client to asynchronously access the Total Connect Comfort RESTful API.

It is a faithful port of https://github.com/watchforstock/evohome-client, which is not async-aware.

It provides support for Evohome and the Round Thermostat. It supports only EU/EMEA-based systems, please use somecomfort for US-based systems.

This client uses the aiohttp library. If you prefer a non-async client, evohome-client uses requests instead.

Provides Evohome support for Home Assistant (and other automation platforms), see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/evohome

Documentation (from evohomeclient) is available at http://evohome-client.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Differences from non-async version

Note that this library is not intended to expose more functionality than it's non-async cousin, other than asyncio.

The difference between the evohomeasync and evohomeclient libraries have been keep to the minimum, and it is planned for exisiting docs to be useful. Thus, it should be relatively easy to port your code over to this async library should you wish.

Currently, only evohomeclient2 has been fully tested, and evohomeclient (the older API) is a WIP has not been fully tested.

Technical differences

In both cases (evohomeclient2 and evohomeclient):

• uses aiohttp instead of requests:
• most instantiation arguments (except for username, password) are now kwargs
• added a new instantiation argument, session to allow the client to utilize the consumer's session

   self._session = kwargs.get('session', aiohttp.ClientSession(
       timeout=aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=30)
   ))

For the newer evohome API (evohomeclient2):

• import evohomeasync2 instead of import evohomeclient2
• need to add a call await client.login() after initialising
• Exceptions have changed... requests.ConnectionError becomes: aiohttp.ClientConnectionError requests.HTTPError becomes aiohttp.ClientResponseError

For the older evohome API (evohomeclient):

• import evohomeasync instead of import evohomeclient
• Exceptions change similar to the above
