homecom_alt 1.6.7

Python wrapper for controlling devices managed by HomeCom Easy APP.

homecom-alt

Async Python wrapper for controlling Bosch Thermotechnology devices managed by the HomeCom Easy app. Communicates with the pointt-api.bosch-thermotechnology.com REST API using OAuth2 (SingleKey ID) authentication.

Installation

pip install homecom_alt

Device support

Device type	Class	Data model
rac	HomeComRac	BHCDeviceRac
k40 / k30	HomeComK40	BHCDeviceK40
icom	HomeComIcom	BHCDeviceIcom
rrc2	HomeComRrc2	BHCDeviceRrc2
wddw2	HomeComWddw2	BHCDeviceWddw2
commodule	HomeComCommodule	BHCDeviceCommodule
generic	HomeComGeneric	BHCDeviceGeneric

Authentication

ConnectionOptions supports two auth flows:

• OAuth2 code flow (recommended): provide username and code obtained from the SingleKey ID authorization endpoint, and set auth_provider=True when calling HomeComAlt.create().
• Token reuse: provide an existing token and optionally refresh_token to skip the login step.

The brand field defaults to "bosch" — use "buderus" for Buderus-branded devices.

Usage

See example.py for a full working example.

Error handling

Exception	Raised when
AuthFailedError	OAuth2 authentication fails
ApiError	API returns an error response
NotRespondingError	Device does not respond (retried up to 5 times with exponential backoff)
InvalidSensorDataError	Sensor data cannot be parsed

All exceptions inherit from BhcError.
