A Python tool to communicate with a Niko Home Control system via the Netcat TCP socket.

Installation

Dependencies

Niko Home Control requires the python modules setuptools and nclib. In order to install them:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Modules and commands

nhcmonitor.py will listen to your Niko Home Control installation and will print the communication it receives from the system. nikohomecontrol.py is the main module you can use to interact with your Niko Home Control system. nhcconnection.py makes the TCP connection towards your Niko Home Control system.

Quickstart

Basic commands

For every basic command, you will need to setup the NikoHomeControl class:

niko = NikoHomeControl({
    'ip': '192.168.22.105',
    'port': 8000,
    'timeout': 20000,
    'events': True
})

Now you will be able to interact with your Niko Home Control system:

print(niko.system_info())
print(niko.list_locations())
print(niko.list_energy())
print(niko.list_actions())
print(niko.list_thermostats())
