pyrademacher

Python Library to read/control devices connected to your Rademacher HomePilot (or Start2Smart) hub.

This library uses the latest REST API, so you must update your hub to the latest firmware if you want to use this library.

Installation

Use pip to install pyrademacher lib:

pip install pyrademacher

Usage

API Class

With the HomePilotApi class you can acess the REST API directly:

from homepilot.api import HomePilotApi

api = HomePilotApi("hostname", "password") # password can be empty if not defined ("")

print(asyncio.run(asyncio.run(api.get_devices()))) # get all devices

asyncio.run(api.async_open_cover(did=1)) # open cover for device id 1 (assuming it's a cover device)

Manager Class

You can use the HomePilotManager helper class to more easily manage the devices:

import asyncio
from homepilot.manager import HomePilotManager
from homepilot.api import HomePilotApi

api = HomePilotApi("hostname", "password") # password can be empty if not defined ("")

manager = asyncio.run(HomePilotManager.async_build_manager(api))
asyncio.run(manager.update_states())

print(manager.devices["1"].is_closed)
print(manager.devices["1"].cover_position)

print(manager.devices["-1"].fw_version) # ID -1 is reserved for the hub itself

Each device in manager.devices is an instance of the specific device class.

Scene Management

The library supports managing HomePilot scenes with comprehensive functionality:

import asyncio
from homepilot.manager import HomePilotManager
from homepilot.api import HomePilotApi
from homepilot.scenes import SceneNotAvailableError, SceneNotManuallyExecutableError

api = HomePilotApi("hostname", "password")

# Build manager with scenes (manual executable scenes only by default)
manager = asyncio.run(HomePilotManager.async_build_manager(api))

# Include all scenes (including non-manual executable)
manager = asyncio.run(HomePilotManager.async_build_manager(api, include_non_manual_executable=True))

# Access scene properties
scene = manager.scenes[1]  # Scene with ID 1
print(f"Scene: {scene.name}")
print(f"Description: {scene.description}")
print(f"Enabled: {scene.is_enabled}")
print(f"Manual Executable: {scene.is_manual_executable}")
print(f"Available: {scene.available}")

# Execute scene operations with automatic validation
try:
    await scene.async_execute_scene()    # Only works if scene is available and manually executable
    await scene.async_activate_scene()   # Only works if scene is available
    await scene.async_deactivate_scene() # Only works if scene is available
except SceneNotAvailableError as e:
    print(f"Scene operation failed: {e}")
except SceneNotManuallyExecutableError as e:
    print(f"Cannot manually execute scene: {e}")

# Update scenes from API
await manager.async_update_scenes()
