Supported Devices

This client supports:

  • 🔐 Door Locks
  • 🌡 Thermostats
  • 💧 Leak Sensors
  • 💡 Binary Switches
  • 🎚 Multilevel (Dimmer) Switches

Usage

Installation

pip install smartrent-py

Getting an API Object

In order to get an api object to interact with, you must login with the async_login function. This starts and handles a web session with SmartRent.

import asyncio

from smartrent import async_login

async def main():
    api = await async_login('<EMAIL>', '<PASSWORD>')

asyncio.run(main())

Getting Devices

You can get lists of your devices from the api with the get_locks, get_thermostats, get_switches and get_leak_sensors functions. You can then interact with the devices with their getter and setter functions.

import asyncio

from smartrent import async_login

async def main():
    api = await async_login('<EMAIL>', '<PASSWORD>')

    lock = api.get_locks()[0]
    locked = lock.get_locked()

    if not locked:
        await lock.async_set_locked(True)

asyncio.run(main())

Automatic Updating

If you need to get live updates to your device object from SmartRent, you can do that by calling start_updater. You can stop getting updates by calling stop_updater.

You can also set a callback function via set_update_callback that will be called when an update is triggered.

For example, if you want to set your thermostat to Dad Mode you can trigger an event every time the cooling_setpoint is changed and just change it back to your own desired value.

import asyncio

from smartrent import async_login

async def main():
    api = await async_login('<EMAIL>', '<PASSWORD>')

    thermo = api.get_thermostats()[0]
    thermo.start_updater()

    CONSTANT_COOL = 80

    async def on_evt():
        if CONSTANT_COOL != thermo.get_cooling_setpoint():
            await thermo.async_set_cooling_setpoint(CONSTANT_COOL)

    thermo.set_update_callback(on_evt)

    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(60)

asyncio.run(main())

Adding Unsupported Devices!

This library is built in a way that it is easy to add any smartrent device. If you find that one of the devices you own is not supported, we should be able to add it to this libray.

Two things are needed to get the info to add a new device:

  • We have to get some device info from smartrents api
  • We need to get info about how the device reacts when it enters different states

Both of these can be done in one script.

You have to run python3 ./tools/device_helper.py

It will print out some output and a table with Device IDs and Device Names. The device you wish to add should be listed in that table.

Device ID:      Device Name:
==============================
2211234         Thermostat
2212345         Front Door - Lock
2212347         Washer - Leak Sensor

The program will then ask for a Device ID that you wish to track. Enter in the Device ID you want to gather information from.

Put in the Device ID you wish to track: 2211234
Joining topic for 2211234...
{'response': {}, 'status': 'ok'}

You can now change the state of your device either physically in your apartment/house or through the SmartRent app. For example, this is a thermostat's cooling point being turned up, and then the thermostat sending an update about the current humidity

ThermostatSetpoint  cooling_setpoint    77
MultiLvlSensor      current_humidity    53

Once you get a good amount of info, open up an issue describing that you wish to add support for a new device and paste all of the output from device_helper.py. Feel free to hide your Device IDs if you wish.
