Hubitat Elevation Maker API Interface

Intro

This guide assumes you own a Hubitat Elevation home automation controller.

If you are interested in purchasing one, you can purchase a unit from the manufactures website at hubitat.com or from Amazon.com

Changes

See CHANGELOG.md for current changes

Setup

To get the required API keys, you will need to log in to your Hubitat admin interface.

See Maker API Documentation for how to add the MakerAPI application and to generate new API keys

If you are using the cloud API endpoint for access, you will ALSO need to include the Cloud API key when setting up a new Hub object.

Install

pip install hubitatcontrol

Or if you want a copy direct from source

pip install git+https://github.com/Jelloeater/hubitatcontrol.git

Usage

API

Local Example

import hubitatcontrol as hc

hub = hc.Hub(host='http://192.168.1.100', token='Maker_Token',
app_id='Maker_App_ID') # Get Hub object to auth and poll against

# If you have a cloud based maker API, you can include the cloud token
# hub = hc.get_hub(host='https://cloud.hubitat.com', token='Maker_Token',
#                  app_id='Maker_App_ID', cloud_token='Cloud_API_token')

TEST_DEVICE = '1RGB'

device = hc.GetSingleDevice(hub).name(TEST_DEVICE)

# Turn on all the switches (includes lights)
device.turn_on() # Send command to device
print(device.switch)

# Get temprature from all sensors
for i in hc.GetDevices(hub).TemperatureSensor():
    print(f"{i.name} - {i.temperature}")

CLI Interface

• If you have all the needed API keys added to your .env file, all you need to do is add them to your keyring
• Once loaded into the keyring, you can run the CLI from anywhere on your system

hubitatcontrol --help
hubitatcontrol load-env-to-keyring
hubitatcontrol ls

❯ hubitatcontrol
