Python client for OverKiz API

A fully asynchronous and user-friendly API client for the OverKiz platform. This client enables interaction with smart devices connected to OverKiz, supporting multiple vendors such as Somfy TaHoma and Atlantic Cozytouch.

This package is primarily used by Home Assistant Core to provide the Overkiz integration. If you wish to use this package in your own project, refer to the full documentation, the example below, or explore the Home Assistant source code for additional usage examples.

Documentation

Full documentation is available at imicknl.github.io/python-overkiz-api:

• Getting started — cloud and local API setup
• Core concepts — clients, servers, credentials, and models
• Device control and event handling
• Migrating from v1
• SDK reference

Supported hubs

Local API availability depends on your specific gateway. See the Getting started guide for the supported gateways and setup.

† The cloud API requires OAuth credentials provided by Rexel; the local API uses a token from the EConnect app instead.

Installation

pip install pyoverkiz

Getting started

Connect to the cloud API, authenticate, and list your devices:

import asyncio

from pyoverkiz.auth.credentials import UsernamePasswordCredentials
from pyoverkiz.client import OverkizClient
from pyoverkiz.enums import Server


async def main() -> None:
    async with OverkizClient(
        server=Server.SOMFY_EUROPE,
        credentials=UsernamePasswordCredentials("username", "password"),
    ) as client:
        await client.login()

        devices = await client.get_devices()
        for device in devices:
            print(f"{device.label} ({device.device_url}) - {device.controllable_name}")


asyncio.run(main())

For executing commands, listening to events, and connecting to the local API, see the Getting started guide in the documentation.

Projects using pyOverkiz

This package powers the Overkiz integration in Home Assistant Core. Other open-source projects and custom automations also leverage pyOverkiz to interact with Overkiz-compatible hubs and devices, including:

• overkiz2mqtt: Bridges Overkiz devices to MQTT for integration with various platforms.
• mcp-overkiz: Implements an MCP server to enable communication between Overkiz devices and language models.
• tahoma: Command Line Interface (CLI) to control Overkiz devices.
