washpy 0.2.2

A partial implementation of the Miele Professional IP Profile API

washpy

washpy offers a partial implementation of the Miele Professional IP Profile API.

The project focusses on implementing the parts of the API for washing machines from Miele Professional.

Getting started

Installation

washpy is available on PyPI, so washpy can be installed via pip, poetry, or any other tool that interfaces with PyPI.

Hardware setup

I have tested this library on Miele Professional PWM 507 machines, with the Miele XKM 3200-WL-PLT KOM module.

• slide the KOM module into the slot of your machine
• connect the RJ45 jack of the module to your network
  • at the time of writing (2024), the modules need a network with DHCP, they do not support static IP addresses

Set up your KOM module

You have to somehow find out the IP addresses of your machines. For that, I can recommend arp-scan to discover all hosts in your IPv4 network.

Now, give your machine a visit with your web browser, and if your browser asks you about the SSL certificate being untrustworthy, tell the browser to trust the certificate:

https://{your.device.ip.address}/Devices/

From there, you can get your machines' fabrication number. This is important for all further calls to the API

Activate the admin user

On the KOM module, there exists the Admin default user, with the default password "" (the empty string).

I had to activate the admin user by changing its password:

from washpy import postNewPassword

postNewPassword("https://192.168.1.251/Devices/000116343328", "Admin", "", "verySecurePassword!")

Add new Account

TODO

Interact with a device

The core of washpy is the DeviceUser class. Once constructed, it provides many methods to control the Miele device.

The script

from washpy import DeviceUser

my_device = DeviceUser("https://192.168.1.251/Devices/000116343328", "Admin", "", "verySecurePassword!")

print(my_device.get_State().Status)

will yield

<Status.RUNNING: 5>

Is there documentation of the IP Profile API?

Yes, you have to request access to it from Miele Professional.

known issues

Do not upgrade requests, as it will upgrade to urllib3 version 2.x.

Problem: you will get handshake errors:

SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] ssl/tls alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:1006)'))
