Features

• Monitor status (temperature, power, charge %)

• Set target water temperature

• Change operation mode

• Optional scheduling (reservations)

• Optional time-of-use settings

• Periodic high-temp cycle info

• Access detailed status fields

• Async friendly

Quick Start

Installation

pip install nwp500-python

Basic Usage

from nwp500 import NavienAuthClient, NavienAPIClient

# Authentication happens automatically when entering the context
async with NavienAuthClient("[e-mail]", "your_password") as auth_client:
    # Create API client
    api_client = NavienAPIClient(auth_client=auth_client)

    # Get device data
    devices = await api_client.list_devices()
    device = devices[0] if devices else None

    if device:
        # Access status information
        status = device.status
        print(f"Water Temperature: {status.dhwTemperature}°F")
        print(f"Tank Charge: {status.dhwChargePer}%")
        print(f"Power Consumption: {status.currentInstPower}W")

        # Set temperature
        await api_client.set_device_temperature(device, 130)

        # Change operation mode
        await api_client.set_device_mode(device, "heat_pump")

Command Line Interface

The library includes a command line interface for quick monitoring and device information retrieval:

# Set credentials via environment variables
export NAVIEN_EMAIL="[e-mail]"
export NAVIEN_PASSWORD="your_password"

# Get current device status (one-time)
python -m nwp500.cli --status

# Get device information
python -m nwp500.cli --device-info

# Get device feature/capability information
python -m nwp500.cli --device-feature

# Turn device on
python -m nwp500.cli --power-on

# Turn device off
python -m nwp500.cli --power-off

# Turn device on and see updated status
python -m nwp500.cli --power-on --status

# Set operation mode and see response
python -m nwp500.cli --set-mode energy-saver

# Set DHW target temperature and see response
python -m nwp500.cli --set-dhw-temp 140

# Set temperature and then get updated status
python -m nwp500.cli --set-dhw-temp 140 --status

# Set mode and then get updated status
python -m nwp500.cli --set-mode energy-saver --status

# Just get current status (one-time)
python -m nwp500.cli --status

# Monitor continuously (default - writes to CSV)
python -m nwp500.cli --monitor

# Monitor with custom output file
python -m nwp500.cli --monitor --output my_data.csv

Available CLI Options:

• --status: Print current device status as JSON. Can be combined with control commands to see updated status.

• --device-info: Print comprehensive device information (firmware, model, capabilities) as JSON and exit

• --device-feature: Print device capabilities and feature settings as JSON and exit

• --power-on: Turn the device on and display response

• --power-off: Turn the device off and display response

• --set-mode MODE: Set operation mode and display response. Valid modes: heat-pump, energy-saver, high-demand, electric, vacation, standby

• --set-dhw-temp TEMP: Set DHW (Domestic Hot Water) target temperature in Fahrenheit (115-150°F) and display response

• --monitor: Continuously monitor status every 30 seconds and log to CSV (default)

• -o, --output: Specify CSV output filename for monitoring mode

• --email: Override email (alternative to environment variable)

• --password: Override password (alternative to environment variable)
