2014-01-13, Revision to include new modules additionnal informations
2016-06-25 Update documentation for Netatmo Welcome
2016-12-09 Update documentation for all Netatmo cameras
No additional library other than standard Python 3 library is required.
More information about the Netatmo REST API can be obtained from http://dev.netatmo.com/doc/
This package support only user based authentication.
Before being able to use the module you will need :
- A Netatmo user account having access to, at least, one station
- An application registered from the user account (see http://dev.netatmo.com/dev/createapp) to obtain application credentials.
In the netatmo philosophy, both the application itself and the user have to be registered thus have authentication credentials to be able to access any station. Registration is free for both.
Install pyatmo as described in the README.md.
If you provide your credentials, you can test if everything is working properly by simply running the package as a standalone program.
This will run a full access test to the account and stations and return 0 as return code if everything works well. If run interactively, it will also display an OK message.
$ export CLIENT_ID="<your client_id>"
$ export CLIENT_SECRET="<your client_secret>"
$ export USERNAME="<netatmo username>"
$ export PASSWORD="<netatmo user password>"
$ python3 pyatmo.py
pyatmo.py : OK
$ echo $?
0Most of the time, the sequence of operations will be :
- Authenticate your program against Netatmo web server
- Get the device list accessible to the user
- Request data on one of these devices or directly access last data sent by the station
Example :
import pyatmo
# 1 : Authenticate
CLIENT_ID = '123456789abcd1234'
CLIENT_SECRET = '123456789abcd1234'
USERNAME = '[email protected]'
PASSWORD = 'abcdef-123456-ghijkl'
authorization = pyatmo.ClientAuth(
client_id=CLIENT_ID,
client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET,
username=USERNAME,
password=PASSWORD,
)
# 2 : Get devices list
weatherData = pyatmo.WeatherStationData(authorization)
# 3 : Access most fresh data directly
print(
"Current temperature (inside/outside): %s / %s °C"
% (
weatherData.last_data()["indoor"]["Temperature"],
weatherData.last_data()["outdoor"]["Temperature"],
)
)The user must have named the sensors indoor and outdoor through the Web interface (or any other name as long as the program is requesting the same name).
The Netatmo design is based on stations (usually the in-house module) and modules (radio sensors reporting to a station, usually an outdoor sensor).
Sensor design is not exactly the same for station and external modules and they are not addressed the same way wether in the station or an external module. This is a design issue of the API that restrict the ability to write generic code that could work for station sensor the same way than other modules sensors. The station role (the reporting device) and module role (getting environmental data) should not have been mixed. The fact that a sensor is physically built in the station should not interfere with this two distincts objects.
The consequence is that, for the API, we will use terms of station data (for the sensors inside the station) and module data (for external(s) module). Lookup methods like module_by_name look for external modules and NOT station modules.
Having two roles, the station has a 'station_name' property as well as a 'module_name' for its internal sensor.
Exception : to reflect again the API structure, the last data uploaded by the station is indexed by module_name (wether it is a station module or an external module).
Sensors (stations and modules) are managed in the API using ID's (network hardware adresses). The Netatmo web account management gives you the capability to associate names to station sensor and module (and to the station itself). This is by far more comfortable and the interface provides service to locate a station or a module by name or by Id depending of your taste. Module lookup by name includes the optional station name in case multiple stations would have similar module names (if you monitor multiple stations/locations, it would not be a surprise that each of them would have an 'outdoor' module). This is a benefit in the sense it give you the ability to write generic code (for example, collect all 'outdoor' temperatures for all your stations).
The results are Python data structures, mostly dictionaries as they mirror easily the JSON returned data. All supplied classes provides simple properties to use as well as access to full data returned by the netatmo web services (rawData property for most classes).
_BASE_URL and _*_REQ : Various URL to access Netatmo web services. They are
documented in http://dev.netatmo.com/doc/ They should not be changed unless
Netatmo API changes.Constructor
authorization = pyatmo.ClientAuth(
client_id=CLIENT_ID,
client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET,
username=USERNAME,
password=PASSWORD,
scope="read_station",
)Requires : Application and User credentials to access Netatmo API.
Return : an authorization object that will supply the access token required by other web services. This class will handle the renewal of the access token if expiration is reached.
Properties, all properties are read-only unless specified :
- accessToken : Retrieve a valid access token (renewed if necessary)
- refreshToken : The token used to renew the access token (normally should not be used)
- expiration : The expiration time (epoch) of the current token
- scope : The scope of the required access token (what will it be used for) default to read_station to provide backward compatibility.
Possible values for scope are :
- read_station: to retrieve weather station data (Getstationsdata, Getmeasure)
- read_camera: to retrieve Welcome camera data (Gethomedata, Getcamerapicture)
- access_camera: to access the camera, the videos and the live stream.
- read_thermostat: to retrieve thermostat data (Getmeasure, Getthermostatsdata)
- write_thermostat: to set up the thermostat (Syncschedule, Setthermpoint)
- read_presence: to retrieve Presence data (Gethomedata, Getcamerapicture)
- access_presence: to access the camera, the videos and the live stream.
Several value can be used at the same time, ie: 'read_station read_camera'
Constructor
weatherData = pyatmo.WeatherStationData(authorization)Requires : an authorization object (ClientAuth instance)
Return : a WeatherStationData object. This object contains most administration properties of stations and modules accessible to the user and the last data pushed by the station to the Netatmo servers.
Raise a pyatmo.NoDevice exception if no weather station is available for the given account.
Properties, all properties are read-only unless specified:
- rawData : Full dictionary of the returned JSON DEVICELIST Netatmo API service
- default_station : Name of the first station returned by the web service (warning, this is mainly for the ease of use of peoples having only 1 station).
- stations : Dictionary of stations (indexed by ID) accessible to this user account
- modules : Dictionary of modules (indexed by ID) accessible to the user account (whatever station there are plugged in)
Methods :
-
station_by_name (station=None) : Find a station by it's station name
- Input : Station name to lookup (str)
- Output : station dictionary or None
-
station_by_id (sid) : Find a station by it's Netatmo ID (mac address)
- Input : Station ID
- Output : station dictionary or None
-
module_by_name (module, station=None) : Find a module by it's module name
- Input : module name and optional station name
- Output : module dictionary or None
The station name parameter, if provided, is used to check wether the module belongs to the appropriate station (in case multiple stations would have same module name).
-
module_by_id (mid, sid=None) : Find a module by it's ID and belonging station's ID
- Input : module ID and optional Station ID
- Output : module dictionary or None
-
modules_names_list (station=None) : Get the list of modules names, including the station module name. Each of them should have a corresponding entry in last_data. It is an equivalent (at lower cost) for last_data.keys()
-
last_data (station=None, exclude=0) : Get the last data uploaded by the station, exclude sensors with measurement older than given value (default return all)
- Input : station name OR id. If not provided default_station is used. Exclude is the delay in seconds from now to filter sensor readings.
- Output : Sensors data dictionary (Key is sensor name)
AT the time of this document, Available measures types are :
- a full or subset of Temperature, Pressure, Noise, Co2, Humidity, Rain (mm of precipitation during the last 5 minutes, or since the previous data upload), When (measurement timestamp) for modules including station module
- battery_vp : likely to be total battery voltage for external sensors (running on batteries) in mV (undocumented)
- rf_status : likely to be the % of radio signal between the station and a module (undocumented)
See Netatmo API documentation for units of regular measurements
If you named the internal sensor 'indoor' and the outdoor one 'outdoor' (simple is'n it ?) for your station in the user Web account station properties, you will access the data by :
# Last data access example
theData = weatherData.last_data()
print('Available modules : ', theData.keys())
print('In-house CO2 level : ', theData['indoor']['Co2'])
print('Outside temperature : ', theData['outdoor']['Temperature'])
print('External module battery : ', "OK" if int(theData['outdoor']['battery_vp']) > 5000 \
else "NEEDS TO BE REPLACED")-
check_not_updated (station=None, delay=3600) :
- Input : optional station name (else default_station is used)
- Output : list of modules name for which last data update is older than specified delay (default 1 hour). If the station itself is lost, the module_name of the station will be returned (the key item of last_data information).
For example (following the previous one)
# Ensure data sanity
for m in weatherData.check_not_updated("<optional station name>"):
print("Warning, sensor %s information is obsolete" % m)
if module_by_name(m) == None : # Sensor is not an external module
print("The station is lost")-
check_updated (station=None, delay=3600) :
- Input : optional station name (else default_station is used)
- Output : list of modules name for which last data update is newer than specified delay (default 1 hour).
Complement of the previous service
-
get_measure (device_id, scale, mtype, module_id=None, date_begin=None, date_end=None, limit=None, optimize=False) :
- Input : All parameters specified in the Netatmo API service GETMEASURE (type being a python reserved word as been replaced by mtype).
- Output : A python dictionary reflecting the full service response. No transformation is applied.
-
min_max_th (station=None, module=None, frame="last24") : Return min and max temperature and humidity for the given station/module in the given timeframe
- Input :
- An optional station Name or ID, default_station is used if not supplied,
- An optional module name or ID, default : station sensor data is used
- A time frame that can be :
- "last24" : For a shifting window of the last 24 hours
- "day" : For all available data in the current day
- Output :
- A 4 values tuple (Temp mini, Temp maxi, Humid mini, Humid maxi)
Note : I have been obliged to determine the min and max manually, the built-in service in the API doesn't always provide the actual min and max. The double parameter (scale) and aggregation request (min, max) is not satisfying at all if you slip over two days as required in a shifting 24 hours window.
- Input :
