V-ZUG API Library

Unofficial python API library for V-ZUG devices. This module provides an API for communication with V-ZUG devices in a local network. Communication with the central V-ZUG services (V-ZUG-Home) is not supported.

Implemented functions

• Any V-ZUG device with network support:

  • Get basic status information.
  • Support username / password authentication.

• Washing machines:

  • Get power and water consumption data.
  • Get extended information for running program incl. optiDos status.

• Dryers:

  • Get power consumption data.
  • Get extended information for running program.

• Dishwashers:

  • Get extended information for running / timed program.

Limitations and Warning

Since we (Darko Micic and me) have only two V-ZUG machines (AdoraWash and AdoraDry V4000), the library is not tested with other devices.

How to use

Check example implementations in examples/any_device.py and examples/washing_machine.py.

Home Assistant Integration

This API is used for the Home Assistant V-ZUG integration (unofficial): /feature/vzug-integration (currently under development)

How to Develop / Contribute

To set up the development environment:

1. Checkout this repository,
2. Create virtual environment (python venv),
3. Run devtools/install-dev-deps.sh or (if you don't have bash) run the pip install lines from the install-dev-deps.sh file manually.
4. Run pip install -e .

How to add new device

Feel free to contribute more devices by ...

• adding a corresponding response-json file in test/resources,
• writing a unit- / integration-test,
• creating a new device class like washing_machine.py.

Or

• just send me a response-json, so I can implement the tests and device class (at least a first version).

What is a response-json file?

A response-json file contains the response got from the device when calling a specific REST Endpoint. Example response received when calling the /ai?command=getDevceStatus endpoint:

{
  "DeviceName": "TestDevice",
  "Serial": "123",
  "Inactive": "false",
  "Program": "TestProgram",
  "Status": "Testing",
  "ProgramEnd": {
    "End": "",
    "EndType": "0"
  },
  "deviceUuid": "test-uuid"
}

Source: device_status_ok_resp.json

How to get a response-json file?

Open the http web interface of the device while the browser developer tools are open. In the developer tools "network" tab check the communication and copy the device response (JSON) into a textfile.
