Python API for interacting with Dingz devices

Python API for interacting with Dingz devices.

This module is not official, developed, supported or endorsed by iolo AG or myStrom AG. For questions and other inquiries, use the issue tracker in this repository please.

Without the support of iolo AG and myStrom AG it would have taken much longer to create this module which is the base for the integration into Home Assistant. Both companies have provided and are still providing hardware, valuable feedback and advice. Their continuous support make further development of this module possible.

See api.dingz.ch for the API details.

Limitations

This module is at the moment limited to consuming sensor data, device details, device configurations and states. The front LED can be controlled but buttons requires you to programm them by yourself.

No support for setting timers and schedules.

# Fetch the current state of the lights/vers
await d.get_state()

# Get details about shade
shade_0 = d.shades.get(0)
print("Blinds: %s Lamella: %s" % (shade_0.current_blind_level(), shade_0.current_lamella_level()))
