Python exampels

A example how to get doorlock (more than one doorlock) status out from module.
You hade that on the old version.

[persandstrom]

Do you mean something like:

import verisure
s = verisure.Session(username, password)
s.login()
s.get_overview()['doorLockStatusList']

Maybe there is a "smarter" way to get it similar to the get_door_window function, I will investigate that

[hanspnyholm]

And how often can you request the status from the API whitout verisure get mad and block me.

[persandstrom]

I have never heard that they have been mad at or contacted anyone that has used python-verisure so I don't know. I would suggest to keep it at a reasonable level though, a few calls a minute or so.

I have gotten this e-mail from verisure:

We have discovered that someone with your user credentials generates a high
amount of data traffic.
We really appreciate that you enjoy our system, and that you integrated it
with yours, but the current setup do not support the feature to
retrieve/send information from "My Pages", and to build your own
applications.
On 2016-07-19 there were 1 440 requests per 24 hours. Our acceptance level
for calls towards “My Pages” is 1 call per 30 minutes. At this level we
will not limit the access, for now. Please adjust your application
accordingly. We reserve the right to "throttle"/lock out users that
generates to much load that interfere with our systems.

[hanspnyholm]

Wonder if the limit is the same now then we use the app api instead of my page api

[hanspnyholm]

Do you mean something like:

import verisure
s = verisure.Session(username, password)
s.login()
s.get_overview()['doorLockStatusList']
Maybe there is a "smarter" way to get it similar to the get_door_window function, I will investigate that

A example to sort this data out should be great :)
Ex:
Dorr xxx: locked
Dorr yyy: unlocked

[persandstrom]

The data is in JSON format, I don't have a lock myself so I can't give you an answer.
Maybe this stack overflow post can give you some hints.

[hanspnyholm]

Got this working now.
You can maybe paste this as a exempel for doorlock status.
And remove this "issue".

import verisure
s = verisure.Session(username, password)
s.login()
print s.get_overview()['doorLockStatusList'][0]['currentLockState']

They have some kind of rate limiting now.
I am trying to fetch the event log once a minute, and I get this quite frequently:

verisure.session.ResponseError: Invalid response, status code: 429 - Data: {"errorGroup":"TOO_MANY_REQUESTS","errorCode":"AUT_00021","errorMessage":"Request limit has been reached"}

[xibriz]

Does this mean that the app also stops working or is it a session limit so it would help to logout/login?

[Olen]

I have not investigated thoroughly, but I believe it is the opposite.
I run the poller as a cron job, and what I have seen is that if I run it every minute, I will get this error quite often. If i run it every other minute, I hardly ever get the error (but I do get it occasionally).

So I basically do a reconnect every time, but I guess the app just keeps the connection open and runs the requests through the same connection many times.
Two minute polling is currently "good enough", although a nice webRTC-api would be really great...

I have thought of a few things that could be done to mitigate the issue - but I have not tested any of them to see if they actually work.

• Connect with different usernames. It is easy enough to add a couple of more users, and do some kind of round-robin polling, logging in with different username/password each time.
• Connect from different IP-addresses. This can be done using either a proxy, VPN-connection or if you have multiple addresses on your polling server.
• Run the app that is connecting to Verisure as a deamon, and let other "front ends" pull data from that daemon. That will keep just one connection open over a long time - probably emulating how the mobile app is built.
