pyvesync_v2 is a library to manage VeSync compatible smart home devices
Only compatible with python 3.5+
Install the latest version from pip:
pip install pyvesync_v2
To start with the module:
from pyvesync_v2 import VeSync
manager = VeSync("EMAIL", "PASSWORD", time_zone=DEFAULT_TZ)
manager.login()
# Get/Update Devices from server - populate device lists
manager.update()
my_switch = manager.outlets[0]
# Turn on the first switch
my_switch.turn_on()
# Turn off the first switch
my_switch.turn_off()
# Get energy usage data
manager.update_energy()
# Display outlet device information
for device in manager.outlets:
device.display()
The time_zone
argument is optional but the specified time zone must match time zone in the tz database (IANNA Time Zone Database), see this link for reference:
tz database.
The time zone determines how the energy history is generated for the smart outlets, i.e. for the week starts at 12:01AM Sunday morning at the specified time zone. If no time zone or an invalid time zone is entered the default is America/New_York
#Devices are respectively located in their own lists that can be iterated over
manager.outlets = [VeSyncOutletObjects]
manager.switches = [VeSyncSwitchObjects]
manager.fans = [VeSyncFanObjects]
manger.bulbs = [VeSyncBulbObjects]
If outlets are going to be continuously polled, a custom energy update interval can be set - The default is 6 hours (21600 seconds)
manager.energy_update_interval = time # time in seconds
for s in manager.outlets:
s.update_energy(check_bypass=False) # Get energy history for each device
VeSync.get_devices()

- Turn on the nightlight
VeSyncOutlet.turn_off_nightlight()
- Turn off the nightlight
VeSyncFan.fan_level
- Return the level of the fan (1-3) or 0 for off

The device.display_json()
method outputs properties and status of the device
device.display_json()

More detailed data is available within the VesyncOutlet
by inspecting the VesyncOutlet.energy
dictionary.
The VesyncOutlet.energy
object includes 3 nested dictionaries week
, month
, and year
that contain detailed weekly, monthly and yearly data
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['energy_consumption_of_today']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['cost_per_kwh']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['max_energy']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['total_energy']
VesyncOutlet.energy['week']['data'] # which itself is a list of values
Test can be run with tox for python 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7. It will also run pylint and flake8 to test for style and formatting.
Run all tests:
$ tox
# Tests for python3.5, 3.6, 3.7, pylint and flake8 succeeded
Individual tests can be run with the -e
flag:
$ tox -e py35
