Package: lightwave-smart
Python library to provide reliable communication with Lightwave Smart Series (second generation) devices.  Including lights (dimmers), power outlets (sockets), smart switchs (wirefrees), PIRs, thermostats, TRVs, magnetic switches, relays, energy monitors and other device types.NotesThe LWLink2Public class should not be used in this version, it has not been tested.InstallingThe easiest way ispip3 install lightwave_smartOr just copyhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/LightwaveSmartHome/lightwave-smart/master/lightwave_smart/lightwave_smart.pyinto your projectUsing the libraryImportsYou'll need to import the libraryfrom lightwave_smart import lightwave_smartIf you want to see all the messages passed back and forth with the Lightwave servers, set the logging level to debug:import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)ConnectingStart by authenticating with the LW servers.link = lightwave_smart.LWLink2("example@example.com", "password")This sets up aLWLink2object calledlink, and gets an authentication token from LW which is stored in the object. We can now connect to the LW websocket servicelink.connect()Read hierarchyNext:link.get_hierarchy()This requests the LW server to tell us all of the registered "featuresets". A "featureset" is LW's word for a group of features (e.g. a light switch could have features for "power" and "brightness") - this is what I think of as a device, but that's not how LW describes them (sidenote: what LW considers to be a device depends on the generation of the hardware - for gen 1 hardware, devices and featuresets correspond, for gen2 a device corresponds to a physical object; e.g. a 2 gang switch is a single device, but 2 featuresets).Runningget_hierarchypopulates a dictionary of all of the featuresets available. the dictionary keys are unique identifiers provided by LW, the values areLWRFFeatureSetobjects that hold information about the featureset.To see the objects:print(link.featuresets)For a slightly more useful view:for i in link.featuresets.values():
    print(i.name, i.featureset_id, i.features)In my case this returnsGarden Room 5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e {'switch': <lightwave_smart.lightwave_smart.LWRFFeature object at 0x0000021DB49C93A0>, 'protection': <lightwave_smart.lightwave_smart.LWRFFeature object at 0x0000021DB49C9AC0>, 'dimLevel': <lightwave_smart.lightwave_smart.LWRFFeature object at 0x0000021DB49C9B50>, 'identify': <lightwave_smart.lightwave_smart.LWRFFeature object at 0x0000021DB49C9BB0>}This is a light switch with the nameGarden Roomand the featureset id5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1ewhich we'll use in the example. The features will be explained below.Reading the featuresetsFeaturesets are accessed from the dictionary directly:Nameprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].name)will give the name you assigned when you set up the device in the LW app.Type of deviceThere are a number of methods to return info about the devicesMethodUsageprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_switch())Is it a socket?print(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_light())Light switchesprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_climate())Thermostatsprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_cover())Blinds / three-way relayprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_climate())Thermostatsprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_energy())Energy metersprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_windowsensor())Window sensorprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_hub())LinkPlus Hubprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].is_gen2())Generation 2 device?print(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].reports_power())Has power reportingprint(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].has_led())Has an indicator LED that is configurableDevice featuresThis is how we find out the state of the device, and we will also use this information to control the device:print(link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].features)featuresis a dictionary of the features within a given featureset. The keys are the names of the features, the values are LWRFFeature objects.The LWRFFeature objects have properties: featureset, id, name, state. E.g.for i in link.featuresets['5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e'].features.values():
    print(i.name, i.id, i.state)returnsswitch 5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-28-3157334318+1 0

If you want to make sure the values are up to date you can:link.update_featureset_states()Finally there are a handful of convenience methods if you just want to return devices of a particular type:print(link.get_switches())
print(link.get_lights())
print(link.get_climates())
print(link.get_energy())Writing to a featureTurning on a switch/light, turning off a switch/light or setting the brightness level for a light is as follows:link.turn_on_by_featureset_id("5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e") 
link.turn_off_by_featureset_id("5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e") 
link.set_brightness_by_featureset_id("5bc4d06e87779374d29d7d9a-5bc4d61387779374d29fdd1e", 60) #Brightness in percentThen there is one more method for a thermostatlink.set_temperature_by_featureset_id(featureset_id, level)And some methods for covers (blinds)link.cover_open_by_featureset_id(featureset_id)
link.cover_close_by_featureset_id(featureset_id)
link.cover_stop_by_featureset_id(featureset_id)Reading/writing to an arbitrary featureFinally, for any other features you might want to read or write the value of, you can access them directly. Note that the first option needs thefeatureunique id.link.read_feature(feature_id)orlink.featuresets[featureset_id].features[featurename].stateWriting:link.write_feature(feature_id, value)orlink.write_feature_by_name(featureset_id, featurename, value)orawait link.featuresets[featureset_id].features[featurename].set_state(value) #async only, see belowGetting notified when something changesThis library is all using async programming, so notifications will only really work if your code is also async and is managing the event loop. Nonetheless, you can try the following for an idea of how to get a callback when an event is spotted by the server:import asyncio

def test():
     print("this is a test callback")

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(link.async_register_callback(test))This will call thetestfunction every time a change is detected to the state of one of the features. This is likely only useful if you then runlink.update_featureset_states()to ensure the internal state of the object is consistent with your actual LW system.See example_async.py for a minimal client.async methodsThe library is actually all built on async methods (the sync versions described above are just wrappers for the async versions)async_connect()
