Asynchronous Python API for mFi mPower devices

Asynchronous Python API for mFi mPower devices

Notes

This package provides a direct asynchronous API for Ubiquiti mFi mPower devices based on AsyncSSH. The mFi product line which are is sadly EOL since 2015 and the latest available mFi firmware is version 2.1.11, which can be found here.

Please note that even with the latest available mFi firmware, Ubiquiti mFi mPower Devices use OpenSSL 1.0.0g (18 Jan 2012) and Dropbear SSH 0.51 (27 Mar 2008).

To extract information and control the devices via SSH, only the ssh-rsa host key algorithm in combination with the diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange is supported. The latter is available as legacy option. There is also a known bug in older Dropbear versions which truncates the list of offered key algorithms. The mFi mPower package therefore limits the offered key algorithms to ssh-rsa and the encryption algorithm to aes128-cbc. Known host checks will be disabled as this would require user interaction.

Basic example

import asyncio

from mfi_mpower.device import MPowerDevice

async def main():

    data = {
        "host": "name_or_ip",
        "username": "ubnt",
        "password": "ubnt",
    }

    async with MPowerDevice(**data) as device:
        
        # Test LED control
        await device.set_led(MPowerLED.YELLOW)
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await device.set_led(MPowerLED.LOCKED_OFF)

        # Create switch for port 1
        switch = await device.create_switch(1)

        # Test lock control
        await switch.lock()
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await switch.unlock()

        # Test output control
        await switch.turn_off()
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        await switch.toggle()

asyncio.run(main())

Better example

import asyncio

from mfi_mpower.device import MPowerDevice

async def query(host: str) -> None:
    """Async query"""

    data = {
        "host": host,
        "username": "ubnt",
        "password": "ubnt",
    }

    async with MPowerDevice(**data) as device:

        # Print device info
        print(device)

        # Print all switches and their state
        switches = await device.create_switches()
        for switch in switches:
            print(switch)

        # Print all sensors and their data
        sensors = await device.create_sensors()
        for sensor in sensors:
            print(sensor)


async def main() -> None:
    """Async main"""

    hosts = [
        "host1", "host2", "host3",
        "host4", "host5", "host6",
    ]

    await asyncio.gather(*[query(host) for host in hosts])

asyncio.run(main())
