Basic Usage

Basic usage

Below is some python that illustrates how to use this library. You can interact with the appliance by referencing the midea.device objects. Just make sure not to reuse the midea.client class, the cloud API doesn't support multiple sessions.

Can install the library in your global python reference library by using pip: pip install midea

from midea.client import client as midea_client
from midea.device import air_conditioning_device as ac

# The client takes an App_Key, an account email address and a password
client = midea_client('3742e9e5842d4ad59c2db887e12449f9', 'foo@bar.com', 'account_password')

# Log in right now, to check credentials (this step is optional, and will be called when listing devices)
client.setup()

# List devices. These are complex state holding objects, no other trickery needed from here. 
devices = client.devices()

for device in devices:

    # Refresh the object with the actual state by querying it
    device.refresh()
    print({
        'id': device.id,
        'name': device.name,
        'power_state': device.power_state,
        'audible_feedback': device.audible_feedback,
        'target_temperature': device.target_temperature,
        'operational_mode': device.operational_mode,
        'fan_speed': device.fan_speed,
        'swing_mode': device.swing_mode,
        'eco_mode': device.eco_mode,
        'turbo_mode': device.turbo_mode
    })

    # Set the state of the device and
    device.power_state = True
    device.audible_feedback = True
    device.target_temperature = 21
    device.operational_mode = ac.operational_mode_enum.auto
    device.fan_speed = ac.fan_speed_enum.Auto
    device.swing_mode = ac.swing_mode_enum.Off
    device.eco_mode = False
    device.turbo_mode = False
    # commit the changes with apply()
    device.apply()
