pynapoleon 0.0.3

Python library for Napoleon Astound-series fireplaces (Ayla IoT platform)

pynapoleon

Standalone Python library for Napoleon Astound-series fireplaces.

Napoleon's cloud is the Ayla Networks IoT platform, so this library is a thin Napoleon-property mapping layer on top of ayla-iot-unofficial (the same package the Shark vacuum Home Assistant integration uses).

Status: alpha — under active reverse-engineering. APIs will change.

Features (planned)

• Async login / token refresh (delegated to ayla-iot-unofficial)
• Discover fireplaces on the account
• Read state: power, flame, heater, setpoint, ember/top RGB lights, schedules
• Write state via batch datapoints (single round-trip)
• Apply favourites (partytime, campfirewarmth, summerday, glowingsunset)
• Celsius-native (with helpers for Fahrenheit display)

Installation

pip install pynapoleon

Usage

import asyncio
from pynapoleon import NapoleonClient

async def main():
    async with NapoleonClient(
        email="[e-mail]",
        password="...",
        # app_id / app_secret default to the Napoleon mobile app values;
        # override only if you've registered your own Ayla app.
    ) as client:
        await client.login()
        for fp in await client.fireplaces():
            await fp.refresh()
            print(fp.name, "power:", fp.power, "flame:", fp.flame_speed)
            await fp.set_setpoint_c(20)

asyncio.run(main())

CLI

A small CLI is provided for manual testing:

python -m pynapoleon login
python -m pynapoleon list
python -m pynapoleon state <DSN>
python -m pynapoleon set <DSN> power_on_off=1

Security note

Like any Ayla-based device, talking to the cloud requires an app_id and app_secret. This library ships the values used by the Napoleon mobile app as defaults; they are not secrets in the cryptographic sense (any mitmproxy capture exposes them), but the project does not endorse abuse.

Do not commit credential files, tokens, or mitmproxy captures.

Reverse-engineering notes

See docs/protocol.md for the property catalog and write-command details derived from app traffic.
