py-aosmith 1.0.1

A Python client library for A. O. Smith water heaters

py-aosmith

This is an API Client for A. O. Smith iCOMM-enabled water heaters. If you can control your water heater using the A. O. Smith mobile app (iOS/Android), then it should be compatible with this library.

Known Compatible Models

• HPTS-50
• HPTS-66
• HPTS-80

If your water heater is not working with this library, but it can be controlled using the A. O. Smith mobile app, please open an issue so that support can be added.

Similarly, if your water heater is working with this library, but is not listed here, please open an issue so it can be added to the list.

Installation

To install the latest release from PyPI, run pip3 install py-aosmith.

Quick Start

You will need a compatible water heater which is already connected to Wi-Fi and linked to your A. O. Smith account.

This example initializes the API client and gets a list of water heaters linked to the account. Then, for each water heater, it updates the setpoint to 120 degrees.

from py_aosmith import AOSmithAPIClient

# Initialize API client
client = AOSmithAPIClient("[e-mail]", "mypassword")

# Get list of water heaters linked to the account
devices = await client.get_devices()

# Loop through the registered water heaters
for device in devices:
    # Update the setpoint to 120 degrees
    await client.update_setpoint(device.get("junctionId"), 120);

API Documentation

Initialize API Client

AOSmithAPIClient(email, password)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
email	The email address for your A. O. Smith account
password	The password for your A. O. Smith account

Return value

Returns an instance of AOSmithAPIClient which can be used to invoke the below methods.

Get List of Devices

await client.get_devices()

Gets a list of water heaters linked with the A. O. Smith account. May only include devices which are known to be compatible with this library.

If your water heater can be controlled in the A. O. Smith mobile app, but is not included in the return value of this method, please open an issue so that support can be added.

Update setpoint

await client.update_setpoint(junction_id, setpoint)

Updates the setpoint (target water temperature) of the water heater.

When using this method, the setpoint cannot be adjusted above the temperatureSetpointMaximum from the return value of get_devices(). To increase this maximum, manually adjust the setpoint using the buttons on the water heater.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
junction_id	Unique ID of the water heater, obtained from get_devices()
setpoint	New target temperature to set

Return value

None

Update mode

await client.updateMode(junction_id, mode, days)

Sets the operation mode of the water heater. To determine the list of modes supported by your water heater, check data.modes[] in the return value of get_devices().

Parameters

Parameter	Description
junction_id	Unique ID of the water heater, obtained from get_devices()
mode	New operation mode to set
days	Optional. Number of days after which the device will automatically exit this mode. Only works for modes where data.modes[].controls from get_devices() is "SELECT_DAYS".

Return value

None

Get energy use data

await client.get_energy_use_data(junction_id)

Gets energy use history data from the water heater.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
junction_id	Unique ID of the water heater, obtained from get_devices()

Return value
