eQ-3/ELV MAX! Cube Python API |Build Status| |Coverage Status|

A python api to control the Max! Cube thermostats:

• get basic info about the cube itself
• get info about the max thermostats connected to the cube (mode, temperatures ...)

Basic usage:

.. code:: python

from maxcube.cube import MaxCube

cube = MaxCube('192.168.0.20')

for device in cube.devices:
    print(device.name)
    print(device.actual_temperature)

This api was build for the integration of the Max! thermostats into Home Assistant <https://home-assistant.io>__ and mostly only covers the functions needed for the integration.

It does also include functions needed to save and restore thermostat programmes. For example:

.. code:: shell

# dump programmes (and other data) to a JSON file
python3 prog.py dump --host=192.168.0.11 > backup.json

# load programmes (not other data!) from a JSON file
python3 prog.py load --host=192.168.0.11 < backup.json

Running tests

.. code:: python

python3 -m unittest discover tests/
