switchbot-client

An unofficial Python client implementation of the SwitchBot API.

About this version

switchbot-client-0.x.x is the implementation for SwitchBot API version 1.0. The implementation for API version 1.1 or later will proceed with switchbot-client-1.x.x. Please select the library version according to the API version you use. Development of switchbot-client-0.x.x will likely cease with the SwitchBot API version update, and we recommend moving to 1.x.x.

Authentication

Before you start using this client, you need to get an open token. Please follow the instructions in the official documentation below.

https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI#authentication

Once you have the token, use one of the following methods to pass the information to the client.

Environment variables

If the environment variable SWITCHBOT_OPEN_TOKEN is present, this client will automatically use this value.

export SWITCHBOT_OPEN_TOKEN=your_switchbot_open_token
python your_script.py

# your_script.py
from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

client = SwitchBotClient()
print(client.devices())

Constructor Arguments

It is also possible to initialize the client by passing a token directly as an argument.

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

your_token = "your_switchbot_open_token"
client = SwitchBotClient(token=your_token)
print(client.devices())

Config file

If ~/.config/switchbot-client/config.yml exists and has a token entry, this client will automatically use the value.

mkdir -p ~/.config/switchbot-client
echo "token: your_switchbot_open_token" >>  ~/.config/switchbot-client/config.yml
python your_script.py

# your_script.py
from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

client = SwitchBotClient()
print(client.devices())

Usage

Get Device List

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

client = SwitchBotClient()
result = client.devices()
print(result)

[Meter({'device_id': 'ABCDEFG', 'device_type': 'Meter', 'device_name': 'Meter 0A', 'hub_device_id': 'ABCDE', 'is_virtual_infrared': False}), HubMini({'device_id': 'ABCDEFG', 'device_type': 'Hub Mini', 'device_name': 'Hub Mini 0', 'hub_device_id': None, 'is_virtual_infrared': False}), Light({'device_id': '12345', 'device_type': 'Light', 'device_name': 'My Light', 'hub_device_id': 'ABCDE', 'is_virtual_infrared': True}), AirConditioner({'device_id': '12345', 'device_type': 'Air Conditioner', 'device_name': 'My Air Conditioner', 'hub_device_id': 'ABCDE', 'is_virtual_infrared': True})]

If you run the above code, you will get a list of all the devices associated with your SwitchBot account. You can perform operations on the acquired device_id, such as manipulating it or getting its status.

Get Device Status

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

client = SwitchBotClient()
device_id = "YOUR_DEVICE_ID"
print(client.device(device_id).status())

DeviceStatus(device_id='ABCDE', device_type='Meter', device_name='Meter 0', hub_device_id='ABCDE', data={'deviceId': 'ABCDE', 'deviceType': 'Meter', 'hubDeviceId': 'ABCDE', 'humidity': 50, 'temperature': 25.0})

This function allows you to get the status of a device. Note that only the physical device returns accurate results, while the virtual infrared remote device is inaccurate, storing the results of the most recent operation.

Please refer to the following official document to know what kind of information can be obtained from each device.

https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI#get-device-status

Control Device

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient
from switchbot_client.devices import Light

client = SwitchBotClient()
device_id = "12345"  # My Light(virtual infrared remote devices)
device = Light.create_by_id(client, device_id)
print(device.turn_on())

SwitchBotCommandResult(status_code=100, message='success', response_body={})

It allows you to control the specified device. The following documents define the commands that can be executed.

https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/SwitchBotAPI#send-device-control-commands

Get Scene List

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

client = SwitchBotClient()
print(client.scenes())

[SwitchBotScene({'scene_id': '12345', 'scene_name': 'My Scene1'}), SwitchBotScene({'scene_id': '23456', 'scene_name': 'My Scene2'})]

You can get a list of all the scenes associated with your SwitchBot account. Note that only manual scenes are returned from this api.

Execute Scene

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

client = SwitchBotClient()
print(client.scene("12345").execute())

SwitchBotCommandResult(status_code=100, message='success', response_body={})

The specified scene can be executed immediately.

Webhooks

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

client = SwitchBotClient()
client.set_webhook(url="https://example.com/foo", enable=True)
print(client.webhooks())

[SwitchBotWebhook(url='https://example.com/foo', enable=True, device_list='ALL', create_time=datetime.datetime(2022, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, 123456), last_update_time=datetime.datetime(2022, 1, 1, 12, 0, 0, 123456))]

You can handle webhook configurations via SwitchBotClient.

Raw API interface

Devices and scenes also can be manipulated via the low-level raw API client. The SwitchBotAPIClient class has methods for each endpoints of SwitchBot API.

For example the /v1.0/devices endpoint is implemented as SwitchBotAPIClient.devices(), the /v1.0/devices/{device_id}/status" endpoint is implemented as SwitchBotAPIClient.devices_status(device_id: str).

Examples

from switchbot_client import devices
from switchbot_client import SwitchBotClient

    color_bulbs = [d for d in all_devices if isinstance(d, devices.ColorBulb)]
    air_conditioners = [d for d in all_devices if isinstance(d, devices.AirConditioner)]

    if temperature > 25.0:
        print("hot!")
        for d in color_bulbs:

                power=devices.AirConditioner.Parameters.POWER_ON
            )

    elif temperature < 15.0:
        print("cold!")
        for d in color_bulbs:
            d.set_color("#0000FF")

        for d in air_conditioners:
            d.set_all(
                temperature=20.0,

                power=devices.AirConditioner.Parameters.POWER_ON
            )
