Usage

To start with the module:

from pyvesync import VeSync

manager = VeSync("EMAIL", "PASSWORD", "TIME_ZONE")
manager.login()

# Get/Update Devices from server - populate device lists
manager.update()

my_switch = manager.outlets[0]
# Turn on the first switch
my_switch.turn_on()
# Turn off the first switch
my_switch.turn_off()

# Get energy usage data for outlets
manager.update_energy()

Devices are stored in the respective lists in the instantiated VeSync class:

manager.login()
manager.update()

manager.outlets = [VeSyncOutletObjects]
manager.switches = [VeSyncSwitchObjects]
manager.fans = [VeSyncFanObjects]
manger.bulbs = [VeSyncBulbObjects]

# Get device (outlet, etc.) by device name
dev_name = "My Device"
for device in manager.outlets:
  if device.device_name == dev_name:
    my_device = device
    device.display()

# Turn on switch by switch name
switch_name = "My Switch"
for switch in manager.switches:
  if switch.device_name == switch_name:
    switch.turn_on()

Configuration

Time Zones

The time_zone argument is optional but the specified time zone must match time zone in the tz database (IANNA Time Zone Database), see this link for reference: tz database. The time zone determines how the energy history is generated for the smart outlets, i.e. for the week starts at 12:01AM Sunday morning at the specified time zone. If no time zone or an invalid time zone is entered the default is America/New_York

Outlet energy data update interval

If outlets are going to be continuously polled, a custom energy update interval can be set - The default is 6 hours (21600 seconds)

manager.energy_update_interval = 360 # time in seconds

Example Usage

Get electricity metrics of outlets

Bypass the interval check to trigger outlet energy update.

for s in manager.outlets:
  s.update_energy(check_bypass=False) # Get energy history for each device

Notes

More detailed data is available within the VesyncOutlet by inspecting the VesyncOutlet.energy dictionary.

The VesyncOutlet.energy object includes 3 nested dictionaries week, month, and year that contain detailed weekly, monthly and yearly data

VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['energy_consumption_of_today']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['cost_per_kwh']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['max_energy']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['total_energy']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['data'] # which itself is a list of values

Debug mode

To make it easier to debug, there is a debug argument in the VeSync method. This prints out your device list and any other debug log messages.

import pyvesync.vesync as vs

manager = vs.VeSync('user', 'pass', debug=True)
manager.login()
manager.update()
# Prints device list returned from Vesync

Feature Requests

If you would like new devices to be added, you will need to capture the packets from the app. The easiest way to do this is by using Packet Capture for Android. This works without rooting the device. If you do not have an android or are concerned with adding an app that uses a custom certificate to read the traffic, you can use an Android emulator such as Nox.

SSL pinning makes capturing packets with android not feasible anymore. Charles Proxy is a proxy that allows you to perform MITM SSL captures on an iOS device. This is the only way to capture packets that I am aware of that is currently possible.

When capturing packets make sure all packets are captured from the device list, along with all functions that the app contains. The captured packets are stored in text files, please do not capture with pcap format.

After you capture the packets, please redact the accountid and token. If you feel you must redact other keys, please do not delete them entirely. Replace letters with "A" and numbers with "1", leave all punctuation intact and maintain length.

For example:

Before:

{
  'tk': 'abc123abc123==3rf',
  'accountId': '123456789',
  'cid': 'abcdef12-3gh-ij'
}

After:

{
  'tk': 'AAA111AAA111==1AA',
  'accountId': '111111111',
  'cid': 'AAAAAA11-1AA-AA'
}

All contributions are welcome, please run tox before submitting a PR to ensure code is valid.
