purei9-unofficial 0.0.14

Small proof-of-concept client to connect to Electrolux and AEG cleaner robots

purei9_unofficial

This project includes a client/library to connect to Electrolux and AEG cleaner robots.

Compatibility

Tested with an AEX RX9 (aka purei9) first Generation and second (aka purei9.2) Generation.

Security

Other than the purei9 app, this tool does not verify the robot's TLS certificate when using it in "local" mode, so beware of MitMs in your LAN, eavedropping on your robot. In case you are curious how the trust model works anyway: The TLS certificate of the robot is self signed and verified against a known public key which is gathered from the purei9 cloud.

Installation

Install via pip

pip install purei9_unofficial 

If you want to use the CLI (not only the library) you additionally need to install tabulate

pip install tabulate 

Usage

The library currently implements 3 interfaces which allows controlling the robot: locally (via a TCP connection on port 3002), and via the 2 different electrolux cloud services. The interface which uses the first version of the electrolux cloud API is the one with the most features implemented currently.

connection via cloud

See your robots status

$ python -m purei9_unofficial cloud -c [e-mail]:mypassword status
+--------------------------+---------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+----------+-----------+
|            id            |  name   | localpw  | connected |  status  | battery | firmware | powermode |
+--------------------------+---------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+----------+-----------+
| 900395798357985798375972 | Cleaner | 01234567 |   True    | Sleeping |  High   |  42.19   |   HIGH    |
+--------------------------+---------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+----------+-----------+

Start a cleaning session

$ python -m purei9_unofficial cloud -c [e-mail]:mypassword start -r 900395798357985798375972

local connection

First you need to get your local robot pw from the cloud API to talk to the robot on a local connection. Note that this only works if your robot was initalized with the old purei9 App (not the "wellbeing" App).

$ python -m purei9_unofficial cloud -c [e-mail]:mypassword status
+--------------------------+---------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+----------+-----------+
|            id            |  name   | localpw  | connected |  status  | battery | firmware | powermode |
+--------------------------+---------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+----------+-----------+
| 900395798357985798375972 | Cleaner | 01234567 |   True    | Sleeping |  High   |  42.19   |   HIGH    |
+--------------------------+---------+----------+-----------+----------+---------+----------+-----------+

reset localpw

If when the above command is run, localpw is blank, you can reset it using the following instructions. This does not appear to interfer with the cloud connection as it does not use the localpw after set up. (Tested firmware version 42.19 on the first generation purei9, use at your own risk)

1. Flip your purei9 onto its back.
2. Connect your laptop to its network (Network Name: 3Dvision XXX-XXXX).
3. Search its network to local its ip address (will be different to its normal ip on your home network).

   $ python -m purei9_unofficial local find
   +---------------+--------------------------+---------+
   |   Address     |         RobotID          |  Name   |
   +---------------+--------------------------+---------+
   | 192.168.6.1   | 900395798357985798375972 | Cleaner |
   +---------------+--------------------------+---------+
   

4. Run the setlocalpw command, the command below would set it to 01234567

   $ python3 -m purei9_unofficial local -a 192.168.6.1 -l 01234567 setlocalpw
   

5. Flip the purei9 back over and put on charge.
6. From here local commands should work.

Note there may be a small delay between the robot being put on its back and the network being available. As well as between putting it on charge and the local commands being available.

You can also use the tool to locate any robots in the network

$ python -m purei9_unofficial local find
+---------------+--------------------------+---------+
|   Address     |         RobotID          |  Name   |
+---------------+--------------------------+---------+
| 192.168.1.101 | 900395798357985798375972 | Cleaner |
+---------------+--------------------------+---------+

Now you can connect to your robot locally, get the status and start/stop it.

$ python -m purei9_unofficial local -a 192.168.1.101 -l 01234567 status
$ python -m purei9_unofficial local -a 192.168.1.101 -l 01234567 start

Library usage

If you want to use the library instead, here is some example code which assumes (1) you only have one robot in your electrolux account and (2) the robot is located in the same network as the computer you are running the code on. You can also have a look at the CLI implementation.

from purei9_unofficial.cloud import CloudClient
from purei9_unofficial.local import RobotClient, find_robots

# Get the list of robots in the cloud account
cloudclient  = CloudClient("account_email", "account_password")
robots       = cloudclient.getRobots()

# Get the local robot password to authenticate at our robot
localpw      = robots[0].getlocalpw()

# Get the robots in our network
local_robots = find_robots()

# Create a RobotClient to connect to it
robotclient  = RobotClient(local_robots[0].address)
robotclient.connect(localpw)

# Gets the status
print(robotclient.getstatus())
