Hydro-Quebec-API-Wrapper 3.2.0

A wrapper library to access hydro quebec API and more

HydroQC - Hydro Quebec API wrapper

This is a library to use if you want to build your own solution. If you want a user-friendly implementation for your home automation system please use hydroqc2mqtt which provide a MQTT publisher, docker image and HASS addon.

This is a package to access some functionalities of Hydro Quebec API that are not documented.

We started a discord server for the project where you can come to discuss and find help with the project on our #development channel
