puffcoble 0.2.0

Python BLE SDK for Puffco Peak Pro devices

PuffcoBLE

Python library for communicating with Puffco devices over Bluetooth Low Energy using the Lorax protocol.

This library allows you to connect to a Puffco device, authenticate, read and write Lorax paths, and control device features such as heat cycles, LEDs, lantern mode, and device information. Everything is async and built on top of bleak.

---

Features

• Scan for devices by name or MAC address
• Automatic Lorax authentication
• Read and write Lorax paths
• Typed reads (int, float, bool) and raw byte reads
• Chunked reads for large data
• Start, stop, and boost heat cycles
• Lantern mode control
• LED brightness control
• Battery, firmware, uptime, and usage info
• Fully async / asyncio-based

---

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• Bluetooth Low Energy capable system

Supported platforms:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux (BlueZ)

---

Installation

From PyPI:

pip install PuffcoBLE

From source:

git clone https://github.com/Fr0st3h/PuffcoBLE.git
cd PuffcoBLE
pip install -e .

---

Basic usage

import asyncio
from puffcoble import PuffcoBLE

async def main():
    device = PuffcoBLE(device_name="DEV PUFFCO", debug=True)
    await device.connect()

    print("Device name:", await device.get_device_name())
    
    #get current profile info
    currentProfile = await device.get_current_profile_name()
    currentProfileTemp = await device.get_current_profile_temp()
    currentProfileDuration = await device.get_current_profile_duration()

    #start heat cycle
    await device.start_heat_cycle()

    #sleep for 3 seconds
    await asyncio.sleep(3)

    #cancel the heat cycle
    await device.stop_heat_cycle()

    #print the current profiles info
    print(f'Current Profile: {currentProfile}, Temperature: {currentProfileTemp}, Duration: {currentProfileDuration} seconds')

    payload = {'lamp': {'name': 'solid', 'param': {'color': ["#b700ff"]}}}


    #sets profile 4 colour
    await device.write_cbor_full("/u/app/hc/3/colr", payload)
    await device.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())

Connection and authentication

Authentication is handled automatically when calling connect():

• BLE bonding trigger
• Access seed request
• Unlock key generation
• Lorax access unlock

Manual authentication is not required for normal usage.

---

Reading data

Typed read:

temp = await puffco.read(
    "/p/app/thc/temp",
    size=4,
    data_type="float32"
)

Raw bytes:

data = await puffco.read("/p/sys/fw/ver", size=12)

Read full path (chunked):

blob = await puffco.read_bytes_all("/p/app/thc/colr")

---

Writing data

Write raw bytes:

await puffco.write_short(
    "/u/app/ui/lbrt",
    0,
    0,
    bytes([80, 80, 80, 80])
)

Write typed values:

await puffco.write(
    "/p/app/thc/time",
    45.0,
    data_type="float32"
)

---

Heat cycle control

await puffco.start_heat_cycle()
await puffco.boost_heat_cycle()
await puffco.stop_heat_cycle()

---

Lantern mode

await puffco.start_lantern()
await puffco.stop_lantern()

---

Device information

info = await puffco.get_device_info()
serial = await puffco.get_serial_number()
fw = await puffco.get_software_version()
uptime = await puffco.get_uptime()

---

Debug logging

Enable debug output:

PuffcoBLE(debug=True)

Logging uses Tamga.
