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=yourswitchbotopentoken
python3 your_script_using_switchbot_client.py

# your_script_using_switchbot_client.py
client = SwitchBotAPIClient()
result = client.devices()

Constructor Arguments

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

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotAPIClient

your_token = "yourswitchbotopentoken"
client = SwitchBotAPIClient(token=your_token)
result = client.devices()

Usage

Get Device List

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotAPIClient

client = SwitchBotAPIClient()
result = client.devices()
print(result.body)

{'deviceList': [{'deviceId': 'ABCDEFG', 'deviceName': 'Meter 0A', 'deviceType': 'Meter', 'enableCloudService': True, 'hubDeviceId': 'ABCDE'}, {'deviceId': 'ABCDE', 'deviceName': 'Hub Mini 0', 'deviceType': 'Hub Mini', 'hubDeviceId': 'ABCDE'}], 'infraredRemoteList': [{'deviceId': '12345', 'deviceName': 'My Light', 'remoteType': 'Light', 'hubDeviceId': 'ABCDE'}, {'deviceId': '12345, 'deviceName': 'My Air Conditioner', 'remoteType': 'Air Conditioner', 'hubDeviceId': 'ABCDE'}]}

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 deviceId, such as manipulating it or getting its status.

Get Device Status

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotAPIClient

client = SwitchBotAPIClient()
device_id = "YOURDEVICEID"
print(client.devices_status(device_id))

SwitchBotAPIResponse(status_code=100, message='success', body={'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 physical devices can be targeted, not virtual infrared remote devices.

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 SwitchBotAPIClient, ControlCommand

client = SwitchBotAPIClient()
device_id = "12345" # My Light(virtual infrared remote devices)
print(client.devices_control(device_id, ControlCommand.VirtualInfrared.TURN_ON))

SwitchBotAPIResponse(status_code=100, message='success', body={})

It allows you to control the specified device. The ControlCommand class and 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 SwitchBotAPIClient

client = SwitchBotAPIClient()
print(client.scenes())

SwitchBotAPIResponse(status_code=100, message='success', body=[{'sceneId': '12345', 'sceneName': 'My Scene'}])

You can get a list of all the scenes associated with your SwitchBot account.

Execute Scene

from switchbot_client import SwitchBotAPIClient

client = SwitchBotAPIClient()
print(client.scenes_execute("12345"))

SwitchBotAPIResponse(status_code=100, message='success', body={})

The specified scene can be executed immediately.

Examples

from switchbot_client.enums import ControlCommand
from switchbot_client import SwitchBotAPIClient


def control_all_infrared_remotes_by_type(type: str, command: str):
    client = SwitchBotAPIClient()
    devices = client.devices()
    infrared_remotes = devices.body["infraredRemoteList"]
    devices = filter(lambda d: d["remoteType"] == type, infrared_remotes)

    for d in devices:
        client.devices_control(d["deviceId"], command)


def call_this_function_when_i_go_out():
    print("turn off all lights and air conditioners...")
    control_all_infrared_remotes_by_type(
        "Light", ControlCommand.VirtualInfrared.TURN_OFF
    )
    control_all_infrared_remotes_by_type(
        "Air Conditioner", ControlCommand.VirtualInfrared.TURN_OFF
    )
    print("done")
