pybookoo

pybookoo is an asynchronous Python library for interacting with Bookoo Themis Mini coffee scales over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It is based on the aioacaia library and utilizes asyncio and bleak for its operations.

This library is primarily designed to be used by the Bookoo Home Assistant integration but can also be used as a standalone library for other projects.

Features

  • Connect to Bookoo Themis Mini scales.
  • Receive real-time weight, timer, and flow rate data.
  • Send commands to the scale:
    • Tare
    • Start Timer
    • Stop Timer
    • Reset Timer
    • Tare & Start Timer
  • Handle notifications from the scale, including:
    • Weight characteristic updates (0xFF11).
    • Command characteristic updates (0xFF12), specifically for 0x0D auto-timer start/stop events.
  • Decode BLE messages into a structured format.
  • Provides callbacks for characteristic data updates and general state changes.

Requirements

  • Python >=3.11
  • bleak>=0.22.3
  • A Bluetooth adapter compatible with bleak on your system.

Installation

You can install pybookoo directly from PyPI:

pip install pybookoo

To install for development:

git clone https://github.com/taliexo/pybookoo.git
cd pybookoo
pip install -e .[dev]

Basic Usage

Here's a simple example of how to connect to a scale and receive updates:

import asyncio
import logging
from bleak import BleakScanner
from pybookoo import BookooScale, UPDATE_SOURCE_WEIGHT_CHAR, UPDATE_SOURCE_COMMAND_CHAR

# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
_LOGGER = logging.getLogger(__name__)
# For more detailed bleak/pybookoo logs, set level to DEBUG:
# logging.getLogger("pybookoo").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# logging.getLogger("bleak").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)


TARGET_SCALE_ADDRESS = "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"  # Replace with your scale's MAC address
# Or discover automatically:
# from pybookoo.helpers import find_bookoo_devices
# async def discover():
#     devices = await find_bookoo_devices(timeout=10.0)
#     if devices:
#         return devices[0].address
#     return None
# TARGET_SCALE_ADDRESS = asyncio.run(discover())


def my_characteristic_update_handler(source: str, data: bytes | dict | None):
    """Handle characteristic data updates."""
    if source == UPDATE_SOURCE_WEIGHT_CHAR:
        # Data for weight char is usually None, scale object has updated attributes
        _LOGGER.info(
            f"Weight update: Weight={scale.weight}g, Timer={scale.timer}s, Flow={scale.flow_rate}g/s, Battery={scale.device_state.battery_level if scale.device_state else 'N/A'}%"
        )
    elif source == UPDATE_SOURCE_COMMAND_CHAR:
        _LOGGER.info(f"Command char update: {data}")
        if isinstance(data, dict) and data.get("type") == "auto_timer":
            _LOGGER.info(f"Scale auto-timer event: {data.get('event')}")


async def main():
    global scale
    if not TARGET_SCALE_ADDRESS:
        _LOGGER.error("Scale address not set. Please discover or hardcode it.")
        return

    scale = BookooScale(
        address_or_ble_device=TARGET_SCALE_ADDRESS,
        characteristic_update_callback=my_characteristic_update_handler,
    )

    try:
        _LOGGER.info(f"Attempting to connect to {TARGET_SCALE_ADDRESS}...")
        if await scale.async_connect():
            _LOGGER.info("Connected! Waiting for notifications...")
            # Keep the script running to receive notifications
            # You can send commands here, e.g.:
            # await asyncio.sleep(5)
            # await scale.async_send_command("tare")
            # _LOGGER.info("Tare command sent.")
            while scale.connected:
                await asyncio.sleep(1)
        else:
            _LOGGER.error("Failed to connect.")
    except Exception as e:
        _LOGGER.error(f"An error occurred: {e}")
    finally:
        if scale.connected:
            _LOGGER.info("Disconnecting...")
            await scale.async_disconnect()
            _LOGGER.info("Disconnected.")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        asyncio.run(main())
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        _LOGGER.info("Program stopped by user.")

Development

This project uses ruff for linting and formatting, and mypy for static type checking. Pre-commit hooks are configured to run these checks automatically.

To set up for development:

  1. Install pre-commit: pipx install pre-commit or brew install pre-commit.
  2. Install hooks: pre-commit install.

Run checks manually:

  • ruff check .
  • ruff format .
  • mypy --config-file=mypy.ini pybookoo/
  • pytest tests/
