SOMweb Client

A client library to control garage door operators produced by SOMMER through their SOMweb device.

⚠ It is not enough to have a supported operator to use this package. You also need the SOMWeb device.

Made for home automation

The package is created as part of an extension to Home Assistant. There are no dependencies and no references to Home Assistant, so you can use the package directly from python or integrate it with any other home automation system.

Test from terminal

In all samples replace **** with your values.

How to use

See models.py for class properties.

Create client

With UDI (aka connecting through cloud service)

somwebUDI = "1234567"  # This is the SOMweb UDI. You can find it under device information
username = "automation" # Your home automation user as configured in SOMweb
password = "super_secret_password" # Your home automation user password

client = SomwebClient.createUsingUdi(somwebUDI, username, password)
# optionally with ClientSession from aiohttp.client:
client = SomwebClient.createUsingUdi(somwebUDI, username, password, session)

With IP or FQDN (aka connecting directly)

somwebUri = http://192.168.10.10  # This is the SOMweb device IP or FQDN on the local network (could also be the FQDN to the cloud service).
username = "automation" # Your home automation user as configured in SOMweb
password = "super_secret_password" # Your home automation user password

client = SomwebClient(somwebUri, username, password)
# optionally with ClientSession from aiohttp.client:
client = SomwebClient(somwebUri, username, password, session)

Alive

# Check that SOMweb device is reachable
is_alive: bool = await client.is_alive()

Authenticate

⚠ Rembember to authenticate before calling any other operation

is_alive is the only operation not requiring authentication.

auth: AuthResponse = await client.authenticate()
if auth.success:
    ...
else
    ...

Admin

is_admin: bool = client.is_admin

Firmware Update Available

update_available: bool = await client.async_update_available()

Firmware Update Available

device_info: DeviceInfo = await client.async_get_device_info()

UDI

# The SOMweb device UDI
udi: str = client.udi

Get Doors

doors: List[Door] = client.get_doors()

Door Status

Get status of door with id 2

status: DoorStatusType = await client.get_door_status(2)

Toggle Door

Open a closed door and close an open door.

success: bool = await client.toogle_door_position(door_id)

Open Door

success: bool = await client.open_door(door_id)

Close Door

success: bool = await client.close_door(door_id)

Await Door Status

Call this after opening/closing to wait for the operation to complete.

Will return false if timeout occurs before status is reached (currently 60 seconds).

success: bool = await client.wait_for_door_state(door_id, door_status)

Sample usage:

door_id = 2
auth = await client.authenticate()
await client.open_door(door_id):
await client.wait_for_door_state(door_id, DoorStatusType.OPEN)
