Overview

This library provides a Python interface to the SmartCocoon cloud service, allowing you to control smart vents programmatically. It's designed primarily for Home Assistant integration but can be used independently for any Python project.

Status

This is not an official API from SmartCocoon and is in active development. The library is stable for basic operations but may have breaking changes as the API evolves.

Supported Devices

• SmartCocoon Smart Vents (all models)

Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install pysmartcocoon

From Source

git clone https://github.com/davecpearce/pysmartcocoon.git
cd pysmartcocoon
pip install -e .

For Development

git clone https://github.com/davecpearce/pysmartcocoon.git
cd pysmartcocoon
pip install -e .[test]

Quick Start

import asyncio
from pysmartcocoon import SmartCocoonManager

async def main():
    # Initialize the manager
    manager = SmartCocoonManager()

    # Authenticate with your SmartCocoon account
    await manager.async_start_services(
        username="[e-mail]",
        password="your_password"
    )

    # Update data from the API
    await manager.async_update_data()

    # Access your fans
    for fan_id, fan in manager.fans.items():
        print(f"Fan {fan_id}: {fan.name} - {fan.mode}")

        # Control the fan
        await fan.async_set_fan_mode("auto")
        await fan.async_set_fan_speed(50)  # 50% speed

    # Clean up
    await manager._api.close()

# Run the example
asyncio.run(main())

Features

Core Functionality

• Cloud Integration: Connect to SmartCocoon cloud service
• Device Discovery: Automatically discover and configure fans
• Fan Control: Complete control over fan operations
• Real-time Updates: Get current fan status and settings
• Error Handling: Robust error handling and retry logic

Fan Control Capabilities

• Power Control: Turn fans on/off
• Speed Control: Set fan speed (0-100%)
• Mode Control:
  • auto - Automatic mode based on temperature
  • eco - Energy-efficient mode
  • always_on - Always running
  • always_off - Always off
• Status Monitoring: Real-time fan status and connection state

Advanced Features

• Debug Logging: Comprehensive debug output for troubleshooting
• Type Hints: Full type annotation support
• Async Support: Built for async/await patterns
• Home Assistant Ready: Designed for seamless HA integration

Usage Examples

Basic Fan Control

import asyncio
from pysmartcocoon import SmartCocoonManager

async def control_fan():
    manager = SmartCocoonManager()

    try:
        # Authenticate
        await manager.async_start_services("[e-mail]", "password")

        # Get fan data
        await manager.async_update_data()

        # Find a specific fan
        fan = next(iter(manager.fans.values()))

        # Turn on and set to auto mode
        await fan.async_set_fan_mode("auto")
        await fan.async_set_fan_speed(75)

        print(f"Fan {fan.name} is now {fan.mode} at {fan.speed_pct}%")

    finally:
        await manager._api.close()

asyncio.run(control_fan())

Monitoring Fan Status

async def monitor_fans():
    manager = SmartCocoonManager()

    try:
        await manager.async_start_services("[e-mail]", "password")

        while True:
            await manager.async_update_data()

            for fan_id, fan in manager.fans.items():
                status = "🟢 Connected" if fan.connected else "🔴 Disconnected"
                print(f"{fan.name}: {status} - {fan.mode} at {fan.speed_pct}%")

            await asyncio.sleep(30)  # Check every 30 seconds

    finally:
        await manager._api.close()

Home Assistant Integration

Installation

1. Copy the custom_components/smartcocoon folder to your Home Assistant custom_components directory
2. Restart Home Assistant
3. Add the integration through the UI

Configuration

# configuration.yaml
smartcocoon:
  username: "[e-mail]"
  password: "your_password"

Debug Logging in Home Assistant

Add to your configuration.yaml:

logger:
  logs:
    pysmartcocoon: debug

For detailed debug information, see the Debug Guide.

Debug Logging

The library includes comprehensive debug logging to help troubleshoot issues:

import logging

# Enable debug logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Your code here - debug output will be shown

Debug output includes:

• API requests and responses
• Authentication details
• Fan control operations
• Error information

See the Debug Guide for complete documentation.

Development

Prerequisites

• Python 3.13.2+
• Git
• Docker (for running GitHub Actions locally)

Development Environment

This project includes a complete development environment using VS Code Dev Containers:

1. Open the project in VS Code
2. When prompted, reopen in container
3. The devcontainer will automatically set up all dependencies

See docs/DEVCONTAINER_README.md for detailed setup instructions.
