pyairbnk 1.2.0

Async Airbnk and WeHere cloud plus BLE client library

pyairbnk

pyairbnk is the standalone async communication library behind the Airbnk BLE Home Assistant integration.

Disclaimer

pyairbnk is an unofficial community-maintained library. It is not made by, sponsored by, endorsed by, or otherwise affiliated with Airbnk, WeHere, or their vendors in any way.

Use this library at your own discretion and risk. You are responsible for how you use it, where you deploy it, and what devices, accounts, or systems you connect it to.

It provides:

• Airbnk / WeHere cloud onboarding helpers for verification codes, auth, lock listing, and battery-profile lookup
• Local BLE protocol helpers for bootstrap decryption, advert parsing, status parsing, and operation-code generation
• A generic async BLE command client built on bleak and bleak-retry-connector

Support Status

B100 and M532 have been live-validated on real hardware so far. The protocol/profile surface also includes M300, M500, M510, M521, M530, and M531, but those are currently covered through shared logic and sanitized fixtures rather than equivalent field testing. Other non-empty Airbnk lock model names fall back to a generic provisional profile so newly observed locks can be tested without being described as live-validated.

Installation

pip install pyairbnk

For local development:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[test]"

Design Notes

• The library is async-first so it can be consumed cleanly by Home Assistant.
• HTTP clients accept injected aiohttp sessions, which matches Home Assistant's dependency guidance.
• No Home Assistant imports are used anywhere in the package.

Releasing

The repository includes a GitHub Actions release workflow that:

1. builds the sdist and wheel
2. creates a GitHub release on v* tags using the matching CHANGELOG.md section as the release body
3. publishes to PyPI using Trusted Publishing

To publish a release, merge a PR that updates pyproject.toml, src/pyairbnk/__init__.py, and CHANGELOG.md, then tag the merged main commit:

git switch main
git pull --ff-only
git tag v1.1.0
git push origin v1.1.0

The workflow validates that the tag matches the package version. For example, v1.1.0 must match [project].version = "1.1.0", and CHANGELOG.md must contain a ## 1.1.0 section.

Credits

This library was built from the local BLE work in Airbnk BLE and informed by the earlier GPLv3 reverse-engineering efforts in rospogrigio/airbnk_mqtt and rospogrigio/airbnk_cloud.
