pyvlx 0.2.35

PyVLX is a wrapper for the Velux KLF 200 API. PyVLX enables you to run scenes and or open and close velux windows.

PyVLX - controlling VELUX windows with Python

PyVLX uses the Velux KLF 200 interface to control io-Homecontrol devices, e.g. Velux Windows.

Please note: The KLF 200 is discontinued by Velux and even though the KLF 150 is marketed as its replacement device, it does not work with this library (it is missing the local API) unfortunately.

Installation

PyVLX can be installed via:

pip3 install pyvlx

Development

Contributor setup and dependency generation are documented in DEVELOPMENT.md.

Home Assistant Plugin

PyVLX is used within Home Assistant. The HA Velux integration can be added in the HA UI.

Please note that to connect you need to use the WiFi password, not the web login.

For debugging frames enable debug logging for the Velux integration in the HA UI.

Basic Operations

"""Just a demo of the PyVLX module."""
import asyncio
import logging

from pyvlx import Position, PyVLX


async def main() -> None:
    """Demonstrate functionality of PyVLX."""
    pyvlx = PyVLX('pyvlx.yaml')
    # Alternative:
    # pyvlx = PyVLX(host="192.168.2.127", password="velux123")

    # Runing scenes:
    await pyvlx.load_scenes()
    await pyvlx.scenes["All Windows Closed"].run()

    # Changing position of windows:
    await pyvlx.load_nodes()
    await pyvlx.nodes['Bath'].open()
    await pyvlx.nodes['Bath'].close()
    await pyvlx.nodes['Bath'].set_position(Position(position_percent=45))

    # Changing of on-off switches:
    # await pyvlx.nodes['CoffeeMaker'].set_on()
    # await pyvlx.nodes['CoffeeMaker'].set_off()

    # You can easily rename nodes:
    # await pyvlx.nodes["Window 10"].rename("Window 11")

    await pyvlx.disconnect()
