traeger

A simple interface to receiving updates from a Traeger WiFire grill.

Installation

Not being on PyPI yet, you can still install via Pip:

pip install 'traeger@git+https://github.com/kgutwin/traeger'

Usage

In your own Python script:

import traeger

username = '[email protected]'
password = 'yourPassword'

client = traeger.traeger(username, password)

for status in client.grill_status_subscription():
    print('Grill temp:', status['status']['grill'])
    print('Probe temp:', status['status']['probe'])
    print('Pellet level:', status['status']['pellet_level'])

The status dictionary currently shows a substantial amount of information:

Origin

From the original author's notes:

I wish traeger would just have an open API, this might break at any time though I think using a lot of AWS' IOT tools might limit that risk. I reversed the traffic from the android app mainly and also looked at the AWS IOT docs to figure out the usage. I couldn't find the 'shadow' data in AWS for a one time lookup so I'm subscribing and waiting for data which is pretty lame. I haven't had time to make it better recently so I'm going to share this for now.

The traeger2graphite script is what I'm currently using to get a graph of my smoker data and is a simple example too. Needs a simple ~/.traeger config file with the contents:

{"username": "<your email>", "password": "<your password", "graphite_port": "2003", "graphite_host": "graphite.local"}
