pycaldera

Python client library for controlling Caldera spas via their cloud API.

Installation

pip install pycaldera

Usage

Asynchronous API

import asyncio
from pycaldera import AsyncCalderaClient, PUMP_OFF, PUMP_LOW, PUMP_HIGH


async def main():
    async with AsyncCalderaClient("email@example.com", "password") as spa:
        # Get current spa status
        status = await spa.get_spa_status()
        print(f"Current temperature: {status.water_temperature}°F")

        # Get detailed live settings
        settings = await spa.get_live_settings()
        print(f"Target temperature: {settings.ctrl_head_set_temperature}°F")

        # Control the spa
        await spa.set_temperature(102)  # Set temperature to 102°F
        await spa.set_pump(1, PUMP_HIGH)  # Set pump 1 to high speed
        await spa.set_lights(True)  # Turn on the lights


asyncio.run(main())

Synchronous API

For simpler use cases, a synchronous wrapper is also available:

from pycaldera import CalderaClient, PUMP_OFF, PUMP_LOW, PUMP_HIGH

with CalderaClient("email@example.com", "password") as spa:
    # Get current spa status
    status = spa.get_spa_status()
    print(f"Current temperature: {status.water_temperature}°F")

    # Get detailed live settings
    settings = spa.get_live_settings()
    print(f"Target temperature: {settings.ctrl_head_set_temperature}°F")

    # Control the spa
    spa.set_temperature(102)  # Set temperature to 102°F
    spa.set_pump(1, PUMP_HIGH)  # Set pump 1 to high speed
    spa.set_lights(True)  # Turn on the lights

Both clients provide identical functionality, with the synchronous client simply wrapping the async one for convenience.

API Reference

AsyncCalderaClient

The main async client class for interacting with the spa. All operations must be performed within an async context manager:

async with AsyncCalderaClient(
    email="email@example.com",
    password="password",
    timeout=10.0,  # Optional: request timeout in seconds
    debug=False,  # Optional: enable debug logging
) as spa:
    # All spa operations must be inside this block
    await spa.get_spa_status()
    await spa.set_temperature(102)
    # etc...

CalderaClient

A synchronous wrapper around AsyncCalderaClient that provides the same functionality without requiring async/await:

with CalderaClient(
    email="email@example.com",
    password="password",
    timeout=10.0,  # Optional: request timeout in seconds
    debug=False,  # Optional: enable debug logging
) as spa:
    # All spa operations can be called synchronously
    spa.get_spa_status()
    spa.set_temperature(102)
    # etc...

Error Handling

All operations can raise these base exceptions:

• AuthenticationError: When authentication fails or token expires
• ConnectionError: When network connection fails or API is unreachable
• SpaControlError: When the API returns an error response

Temperature Control

async with spa as client:
    # Set temperature (80-104°F or 26.5-40°C)
    try:
        # Basic temperature setting
        await client.set_temperature(102)  # Fahrenheit
        await client.set_temperature(39, "C")  # Celsius

        # Wait for spa to acknowledge the temperature change
        await client.set_temperature(102, wait_for_ack=True)

        # Control polling behavior when waiting for acknowledgment
        await client.set_temperature(
            102,
            wait_for_ack=True,
            polling_interval=5.0,  # Check every 5 seconds
            polling_timeout=120.0,  # Time out after 2 minutes
        )

        # Manually wait for temperature acknowledgment
        settings = await client.wait_for_temperature_ack(
            expected_temp=102,  # Expected temperature in Fahrenheit
            interval=5.0,  # Check every 5 seconds
            timeout=120.0,  # Time out after 2 minutes
        )
    except InvalidParameterError:
        # Raised when temperature is outside valid range
        # (80-104°F or 26.5-40°C)
        pass
    except SpaControlError:
        # Raised when polling times out waiting for acknowledgment
        pass

Pump Control

async with spa as client:
    try:
        await client.set_pump(1, PUMP_HIGH)  # Set pump 1 to high speed
        await client.set_pump(2, PUMP_LOW)  # Set pump 2 to low speed
        await client.set_pump(3, PUMP_OFF)  # Turn off pump 3
    except InvalidParameterError:
        # Raised when:
        # - pump_number is not 1, 2, or 3
        # - speed is not PUMP_OFF (0), PUMP_LOW (1), or PUMP_HIGH (2)
        pass

Light Control

async with spa as client:
    try:
        await client.set_lights(True)  # Turn lights on
        await client.set_lights(False)  # Turn lights off
    except SpaControlError:
        # Raised when light control fails
        pass

Status & Settings

async with spa as client:
    try:
        # Get basic spa status
        status = await client.get_spa_status()
        print(f"Online: {status.status == 'ONLINE'}")

        # Get detailed live settings
        settings = await client.get_live_settings()
        print(f"Target temp: {settings.ctrl_head_set_temperature}°F")
    except ConnectionError:
        # Raised when spa is offline or unreachable
        pass
    except SpaControlError:
        # Raised when API returns invalid data
        pass

## Development

1. Clone the repository
2. Create a virtual environment:
   ```bash
   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # or `venv\Scripts\activate` on Windows

3. Install development dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   

4. Install pre-commit hooks:

   pre-commit install
   

The pre-commit hooks will run automatically on git commit, checking:

• Code formatting (Black)
• Import sorting (isort)
• Type checking (mypy)
• Linting (pylint, ruff)
• YAML/TOML syntax
• Trailing whitespace and file endings
