python-eq3bt

Python library and a command line tool for EQ3 Bluetooth smart thermostats, uses bleak (default), bluepy or gattlib for BTLE communication.

Attention Home Assistant users

This library (and therefore the built-in integration) is not compatible anymore since 2022.7.0. Use this custom component instead.

Features

  • Reading device status: locked, low battery, valve state, window open, target temperature, active mode
  • Writing settings: target temperature, auto mode presets, temperature offset
  • Setting the active mode: auto, manual, boost, away
  • Reading the device serial number and firmware version
  • Reading presets and temperature offset in more recent firmware versions.

Not (yet) supported

  • No easy-to-use interface for setting schedules.

Installation

pip install python-eq3bt

Command-line Usage

To test all available functionality a cli tool inside utils can be used:

$ eq3cli --help Usage: eq3cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... Tool to query and modify the state of EQ3 BT smart thermostat. Options: --mac TEXT [required] --interface TEXT --debug / --normal --backend [bleak|bluepy|gattlib] --help Show this message and exit. Commands: away Enables or disables the away mode. boost Gets or sets the boost mode. device Displays basic device information. locked Gets or sets the lock. low-battery Gets the low battery status. mode Gets or sets the active mode. offset Sets the temperature offset [-3,5 3,5] presets Sets the preset temperatures for auto mode. schedule Gets the schedule from the thermostat. state Prints out all available information. temp Gets or sets the target temperature. valve-state Gets the state of the valve. window-open Gets and sets the window open settings. 

EQ3_MAC environment variable can be used to define mac to avoid typing it:

export EQ3_MAC=XX:XX

Without parameters current state of the device is printed out.

$ eq3cli [00:1A:22:XX:XX:XX] Target 17.0 (mode: auto dst, away: no) Locked: False Batter low: False Window open: False Window open temp: 12.0 Window open time: 0:15:00 Boost: False Current target temp: 17.0 Current comfort temp: 20.0 Current eco temp: 17.0 Current mode: auto dst locked Valve: 0

Getting & setting values.

$ eq3cli temp Current target temp: 17.0 eq3cli temp --target 20 Current target temp: 17.0 Setting target temp: 20.0

Pairing

If you have thermostat with firmware version 1.20+ pairing may be needed. Below simple procedure to do that.

Press and hold wheel on thermostat until Pair will be displayed. Remember or write it. $ sudo bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# power on [bluetooth]# agent on [bluetooth]# default-agent [bluetooth]# scan on [bluetooth]# scan off [bluetooth]# pair 00:1A:22:06:A7:83 [agent] Enter passkey (number in 0-999999): <enter pin> [bluetooth]# trust 00:1A:22:06:A7:83 [bluetooth]# disconnect 00:1A:22:06:A7:83 [bluetooth]# exit Optional steps: [bluetooth]# devices - to list all bluetooth devices [bluetooth]# info 00:1A:22:06:A7:83 Device 00:1A:22:06:A7:83 (public)	Name: CC-RT-BLE	Alias: CC-RT-BLE	Paired: yes	Trusted: yes	Blocked: no	Connected: no	LegacyPairing: no	UUID: Generic Access Profile (00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)	UUID: Generic Attribute Profile (00001801-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)	UUID: Device Information (0000180a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)	UUID: Vendor specific (3e135142-654f-9090-134a-a6ff5bb77046)	UUID: Vendor specific (9e5d1e47-5c13-43a0-8635-82ad38a1386f)	ManufacturerData Key: 0x0000	ManufacturerData Value: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......... 

Be aware that sometimes if you pair your device then mobile application (calor BT) can't connect with thermostat and vice versa.

Library Usage

from eq3bt import Thermostat thermostat = Thermostat('AB:CD:EF:12:23:45') thermostat.update() # fetches data from the thermostat print(thermostat) 
Notice: The device in question has to be disconnected from bluetoothd, since BTLE devices can only hold one connection at a time.

The library will try to connect to the device second time in case it wasn't successful in the first time, which can happen if you are running other applications connecting to the same thermostat.

Fetching schedule

The schedule is queried per day basis and the cached information can be accessed through schedule property..

from eq3bt import Thermostat thermostat = Thermostat('AB:CD:EF:12:34:45') thermostat.query_schedule(0) print(thermostat.schedule) 

Setting schedule

The 'base_temp' and 'next_change_at' paramater define the first period for that 'day' (the period from midnight up till next_change_at).

The schedule can be set on a per day basis like follows:

from datetime import time from eq3bt import Thermostat from eq3bt import HOUR_24_PLACEHOLDER as END_OF_DAY thermostat = Thermostat('12:34:56:78:9A:BC') thermostat.set_schedule( dict( cmd="write", day="sun", base_temp=18, next_change_at=time(8, 0), hours=[ dict(target_temp=23, next_change_at=time(20, 0)), dict(target_temp=18, next_change_at=END_OF_DAY), dict(target_temp=23, next_change_at=END_OF_DAY), dict(target_temp=23, next_change_at=END_OF_DAY), dict(target_temp=23, next_change_at=END_OF_DAY), dict(target_temp=23, next_change_at=END_OF_DAY) ] ) ) 

Contributing

Feel free to open pull requests to improve the library!

This project uses github actions to enforce code formatting using tools like black, isort, flake8, and mypy. You can run these checks locally either by executing pre-commit run -a or using tox which also runs the test suite.

History

This library is a simplified version of bluepy_devices from Markus Peter (https://github.com/bimbar/bluepy_devices.git) with support for more features and robuster device handling.
