python-homely 0.1.4

Async Python client for the Homely cloud API, built for Home Assistant but usable anywhere.

Python-homely

Async Python client for the Homely cloud API and realtime websocket updates.

This package was created for the Homely Home Assistant integration, but it is framework-independent and can be used in any Python project that needs to talk to Homely.

Features

• Login and token refresh
• Location and home-data fetches
• Realtime websocket updates
• Typed exceptions
• Async API built on aiohttp

Installation

python3 -m pip install python-homely

Quick Start

import aiohttp
from homely import HomelyClient


async def main() -> None:
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        client = HomelyClient(session)

        token = await client.authenticate("[e-mail]", "password")
        locations = await client.get_locations_or_raise(token.access_token)
        location_id = locations[0]["locationId"]

        data = await client.get_home_data_or_raise(token.access_token, location_id)
        print(data["name"])

Websocket Example

import aiohttp
from homely import HomelyClient, HomelyWebSocket


async def on_update(event: dict) -> None:
    print(event)


async def main() -> None:
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        client = HomelyClient(session)
        token = await client.authenticate("[e-mail]", "password")
        locations = await client.get_locations_or_raise(token.access_token)
        location_id = locations[0]["locationId"]

        websocket = HomelyWebSocket(
            location_id=location_id,
            token=token.access_token,
            on_data_update=on_update,
            context_id="example",
        )

        await websocket.connect_or_raise()

Main API

• authenticate(username, password) -> TokenResponse
• refresh_access_token(refresh_token) -> TokenResponse
• fetch_token_details(username, password) -> TokenEndpointResult
• fetch_refresh_token_details(refresh_token) -> TokenEndpointResult
• get_locations_or_raise(token) -> list[dict]
• get_home_data_or_raise(token, location_id) -> dict
• HomelyWebSocket(...).connect_or_raise()

Legacy compatibility helpers remain available:

• fetch_token_with_reason(username, password) -> tuple[dict | None, str | None]
• fetch_token(username, password) -> dict | None
• fetch_refresh_token(refresh_token) -> dict | None

Main exports:

• HomelyClient
• HomelyWebSocket
• TokenEndpointResult
• TokenResponse
• HomelyConnectionError
• HomelyAuthError
• HomelyResponseError
• HomelyWebSocketError

Exceptions

• HomelyConnectionError: network or service unavailable
• HomelyAuthError: invalid credentials or rejected token
• HomelyResponseError: unexpected response or HTTP failure Carries status and body_preview when available.
• HomelyWebSocketError: websocket could not be established

Token Diagnostics

If you need more than success/failure, use the detailed token helpers:

result = await client.fetch_refresh_token_details(refresh_token)
if result.ok:
    print(result.token.access_token)
else:
    print(result.reason, result.status, result.detail, result.body_preview)

TokenEndpointResult.reason can distinguish between invalid credentials, invalid refresh tokens, network errors, timeouts, malformed JSON, malformed payloads, empty responses, and unexpected HTTP failures.

Websocket Note

Refreshing an access token does not require forcing an already-connected websocket to reconnect. The websocket token only matters when a new websocket connection is established or re-established.
