venta_protocol_v2_device

Small Python library to control Venta Air Humidifiers and Washers that use Protocol Version 2 (i.e., the ones using the /datastructure endpoint).

This package intentionally mirrors the public API style of venta_protocol_v3_device so migration/addaptation effort is kept at a minimum.

Example usage (local; without pip install)

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "../")    # relative to notebook dir
import venta_protocol_v2_device

Example usage (using pip install)

!pip install venta_protocol_v2_device
from venta_protocol_v2_device import Venta_Protocol_v2_Device

d = Venta_Protocol_v2_Device("192.168.178.87")
print(d.getStatus())
print(d.toJSON())

Notebook examples

For longer, guided examples in Jupyter notebooks, see usage/basic_device_control.ipynb:

• Basic single-device control workflow.

Supported control methods

• setPower(bool)
• setSleepMode(bool)
• setAutomatic(bool)
• setFanSpeed(int)
• setTargetHum(int)
• setLEDStripActive(bool)
• setLEDStripMode(int)
• setLEDStripColor(str)
• setPowerMode(str)
• runUpdate(str)

Discovery

Based on analyzing sniffed UDP packets, it looks like discovery as found in protocol version 3.0 is not supported for protocol version 2.0 devices. Hence it is not included in this package. Instead use the device IP address directly:

from venta_protocol_v2_device import Venta_Protocol_v2_Device

d = Venta_Protocol_v2_Device("192.168.178.87")

If you need stable addressing, configure a DHCP reservation for the Venta device in your router or access point.
