Toshiba AC control (community)

Python library to control Toshiba AC units over Toshiba's cloud service - HTTP login, device discovery, and real-time state updates over AMQP.

This is the community-maintained protocol library behind the Toshiba AC (Community) Home Assistant integration. It is published on PyPI as toshiba-ac-community; the Python import name is toshiba_ac.

Originally created by Kamil Sroka (KaSroka) - full credit for the protocol work. This repository is maintained independently so fixes and improvements can ship on their own schedule.
