Python library for MQTT communication with Dyson devices

libdyson-mqtt

A Python library for MQTT communication with Dyson devices.

Overview

libdyson-mqtt provides a clean, non-blocking interface for communicating with Dyson devices over MQTT. The library handles connection management, message queuing, and provides callbacks for real-time message processing.

Features

• Non-blocking operations: All operations are asynchronous and won't block your application
• Clean connection management: Automatic connection handling with proper cleanup
• Message queuing: Messages are queued internally for processing
• Callback support: Real-time callbacks for messages and connection status
• Type safety: Full type annotations and mypy support
• Comprehensive testing: Unit and integration tests included

Installation

pip install libdyson-mqtt

For development:

pip install -e .[dev]

Quick Start

from libdyson_mqtt import DysonMqttClient, ConnectionConfig

# Configure connection
config = ConnectionConfig(
    host="192.168.1.100",  # Your Dyson device IP
    mqtt_username="your_username",
    mqtt_password="your_password", 
    mqtt_topics=["475/device/status", "475/device/command"],
    port=1883,
    keepalive=60
)

# Create and connect client
client = DysonMqttClient(config)
client.connect()

# Check if connected
if client.is_connected():
    print("Connected successfully!")
    
    # Publish a command
    client.publish("475/device/command", '{"command": "status"}')
    
    # Get received messages
    messages = client.get_messages()
    for msg in messages:
        print(f"Topic: {msg.topic}, Payload: {msg.payload_str}")

# Clean disconnect
client.disconnect()

Using Context Manager

For automatic connection management:

from libdyson_mqtt import DysonMqttClient, ConnectionConfig

config = ConnectionConfig(
    host="192.168.1.100",
    mqtt_username="your_username",
    mqtt_password="your_password",
    mqtt_topics=["475/device/status", "475/device/command"]
)

# Automatically connects and disconnects
with DysonMqttClient(config) as client:
    client.publish("475/device/command", '{"command": "status"}')
    messages = client.get_messages()

Using Callbacks

For real-time message processing:

def on_message(message):
    print(f"Received: {message.topic} -> {message.payload_str}")

def on_connection_change(connected, error):
    if connected:
        print("Connected to device!")
    else:
        print(f"Connection lost: {error}")

client = DysonMqttClient(config)
client.set_message_callback(on_message)
client.set_connection_callback(on_connection_change)

client.connect()
# Messages will now be processed in real-time via callbacks

API Reference

ConnectionConfig

Configuration class for MQTT connection:

• host: IPv4 address or IPv6 .local DNS address
• mqtt_username: MQTT username
• mqtt_password: MQTT password
• mqtt_topics: List of topics to subscribe to
• port: MQTT port (default: 1883)
• keepalive: Keep-alive interval in seconds (default: 60)
• client_id: Optional custom client ID

DysonMqttClient

Main client class for MQTT communication:

Methods

• connect(): Connect to MQTT broker (non-blocking)
• disconnect(): Disconnect from broker
• publish(topic, payload, qos=2, retain=False): Publish message
• get_messages(clear_queue=True): Get queued messages
• set_message_callback(callback): Set message received callback
• set_connection_callback(callback): Set connection status callback
• is_connected(): Check connection status
• get_status(): Get detailed connection status

MqttMessage

Represents a received MQTT message:

• topic: Message topic
• payload: Raw payload bytes
• payload_str: Payload as UTF-8 string
• qos: Quality of Service level
• retain: Whether message is retained
• timestamp: When message was received
• to_dict(): Convert to dictionary

Error Handling

The library defines several exception types:

• DysonMqttError: Base exception
• ConnectionError: Connection issues
• AuthenticationError: Authentication failures
• TopicError: Topic subscription/publishing issues
• ClientNotConnectedError: Operations on disconnected client
• CleanupError: Cleanup failures

from libdyson_mqtt.exceptions import ConnectionError, ClientNotConnectedError

try:
    client.connect()
except ConnectionError as e:
    print(f"Failed to connect: {e}")

try:
    client.publish("test/topic", "message")
except ClientNotConnectedError:
    print("Not connected to broker")

Home Assistant Integration

This library is designed to work well with Home Assistant integrations. The non-blocking design and callback system make it suitable for use in Home Assistant custom components:

# In your Home Assistant integration
import asyncio
from libdyson_mqtt import DysonMqttClient, ConnectionConfig

class DysonDevice:
    def __init__(self, hass, config):
        self.hass = hass
        self.client = DysonMqttClient(config)
        self.client.set_message_callback(self._handle_message)
        
    def _handle_message(self, message):
        # Process device status updates
        self.hass.loop.call_soon_threadsafe(
            self._update_state, message
        )
        
    async def _update_state(self, message):
        # Update Home Assistant entity state
        pass
