pyIntesisHome

This project is a python3 library for interfacing with Intesis air conditioning controllers, including cloud control of IntesisHome (Airconwithme + anywAiR) and local control of IntesisBox devices. It is fully asynchronous using the aiohttp library, and utilises the private API used by the IntesisHome mobile apps.

Home Assistant

To use with Home Assistant, add the following to your configuration.yaml

IntesisHome configuration example

climate:
  - platform: intesishome
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD

IntesisBox configuration example

climate:
  - platform: intesishome
    device: IntesisBox
    host: 192.168.1.50

Library usage

• Instantiate the IntesisHome controller device with username and password for the user.intesishome.com website.
• Status can be polled using the poll_status command suggested maximum of once every 5 minutes.
• Commands are sent using a TCP connection to the API which will then remain open until the connection times out.
• While the persistent TCP connection is open, status updates are pushed to the device over the socket meaning polling is not required (check using is_connected property)
• Callbacks to be notified of state updates can be added with the add_update_callback() method.

Library basic example

import asyncio
from pyintesishome import IntesisHome


async def main():
    controller = IntesisHome("username", "password", device_type="airconwithme")
    await controller.connect()
    print(repr(controller.get_devices()))
    # Imagine you have a device with id 12015601252591
    if not controller.is_on("12015601252591"):
        await controller.set_power_on("12015601252591")

    await controller.set_mode_heat("12015601252591")
    await controller.set_temperature("12015601252591", 22)
    await controller.set_fan_speed("12015601252591", "quiet")

    await controller.stop()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Callback-driven example

Rather than polling, subscribe to state-change notifications with add_update_callback(). The callback fires whenever the controller receives a push update over its connection, so this example just connects and reacts to changes as they arrive:

import asyncio
from pyintesishome import IntesisHome


async def on_update(device_id=None):
    print(f"Device {device_id} updated")


async def main():
    controller = IntesisHome("username", "password", device_type="airconwithme")
    controller.add_update_callback(on_update)
    await controller.connect()

    # Keep the connection open to keep receiving pushed updates
    while controller.is_connected:
        await asyncio.sleep(60)

    await controller.stop()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Control methods

• set_mode_heat(deviceID)
• set_mode_cool(deviceID)
• set_mode_fan(deviceID)
• set_mode_dry(deviceID)
• set_mode_auto(deviceID)
• set_temperature(deviceID, temperature)
• set_fan_speed(deviceID, 'quiet' | 'low' | 'medium' | 'high' | 'auto')
• set_power_on(deviceID)
• set_power_off(deviceID)
