Habitron Client

An asynchronous, fully typed API client for the Habitron SmartHub, designed for integration with Home Assistant.

Features

  • Non-blocking TCP communication via asyncio StreamReader/StreamWriter.
  • Persistent, lock-serialised connection with automatic reconnect on errors.
  • Automatic CRC16 calculation and command wrapping.
  • High-level coroutines for outputs, dimmers, RGB, shutters, climate and more.
  • Safe YAML parsing (yaml.safe_load) into validated TypedDict models.
  • Async UDP discovery of SmartHubs on the local network.
  • Typed exception hierarchy and a py.typed marker (PEP 561 compliant).

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+

Installation

pip install habitron-client

Usage

The client is async-only and is used as an async context manager:

import asyncio

from habitron_client import HabitronClient, HabitronError


async def main() -> None:
    async with HabitronClient("192.0.2.10") as client:
        info = await client.get_smhub_info()
        print(info["software"]["version"])

        await client.set_output(mod_addr=1, nmbr=2, val=True)


asyncio.run(main())

Error handling

All failures raise a typed exception:

HabitronError                 (root)
├── HabitronConnectionError   (refused / EOF / socket lost)
├── HabitronTimeoutError      (no response within the deadline)
└── HabitronProtocolError
    ├── HabitronChecksumError (CRC mismatch)
    └── HabitronBusError      (SmartHub reported an error)

Discovery

from habitron_client import discover_smarthubs

hubs = await discover_smarthubs()

Development

pip install -e ".[dev]"
ruff check .
ruff format --check .
