pyelectroluxconnect 0.1.1

Interface for Electrolux Connectivity Platform API

pyelectroluxconnect

Python client package to communicate with the Electrolux Connectivity Platform (ECP) used by some home appliances, Electrolux owned brands, like: Electrolux, AEG, Frigidaire, Husqvarna. Tested with AEG washer-dryer, but probably could be used with some internet connected ovens, diswashers, fridges, airconditioners.
It is general client, and all parameters (called HACL), that can be read or set, names and translations are dynamically generated, based on appliance profile file, downloaded from ECP servers.

Features

• list appliances paired with Electrolux account
• get appliance profile with translations
• get appliance state
• send command to appliance
• register/unregister Client with Electrolux MQTT cloud based broker

Usage

Initiate session

import pyelectroluxconnect
ses = pyelectroluxconnect.Session(username, password, tokenFileName = ".electrolux-token", country = "US", language = None, deviceId = "CustomeDeviceId", raw = False, verifySsl = True)

or minimal input set:

import pyelectroluxconnect
ses = pyelectroluxconnect.Session(username, password)

where:
username, password - ECP (Electrolux site) credentials
tokenFileName - file to store auth token (default: ~/.electrolux-token)
country - 2-char country code (default US)
language - 3-char language code for translations (All - for all delivered languages, default: None)
deviceId - custom id of client used in ECP, should be unique for every client instance (default: CustomDeviceId)
raw - display HTTP requests/responses (default: False)
verifySsl - verify ECP servers certs (default: True)

Login to ECP

ses.login()

Get list of appliances registered to Electrolux account

appllist = ses.getAppliances()
print(appllist)

Get appliances connection state

for appliance in appllist:  
	print(ses.getApplianceConnectionState(appliance))

Get appliance profile

List of parameters (HACL's) with allowed values, translations, etc... Note, that not all parameters can be read, or set over ECP.

print(ses.getApplianceProfile(appliance))

Get appliance latest state from ECP

Get latest appliance state from ECP. When appliance is online, current state updates are available over:

• LAN with AllJoyn protocol
• Internet with MQTT protocol. To get credentials to connect any MQTT client to ECP MQTT broker, use registerMQTT() method.

to get latest state from a platform:

print(ses.getApplianceState(appliance, paramName = None, rawOutput = False))

paramName - comma separated list of patrameter names (None (default) for all params)
rawOutput - get list of parameters in received form. False (default): parse output to more friendly form (with translations, etc)

Send param value to appliance

ses.setHacl(appliance, hacl, value)

hacl - hex number of param (HACL)
value - value to set (it could be number or list of parameters (for container HACL type))

washer-dryer examples:

• set Wash+Dry "Cottons" program, with "Extra Dry" dryness Level:

ses.setHacl(appliance, "0x1C09", [{"50":"0x0000"},{"12":"128"},{"6.32":1},{"6.33":1}])

• pause program:

ses.setHacl(appliance, "0x0403", 4)

Register client to MQTT broker

print(ses.registerMQTT())

returns parameters required to login to Electrolux MQTT broker with any MQTT client:
Url - Host of MQTT broker (with port number)
OrgId - Organization ID
ClientId - MQTT Client ID
DeviceToken - Token required to authentication (for IBM broker, use use-token-auth as username, DeviceToken as password)

List of MQTT topics (QoS = 0) to subscribe:

• iot-2/cmd/live_stream/fmt/+
• iot-2/cmd/feature_stream/fmt/+

Unregister client from MQTT broker

ses.unregisterMQTT()
