incomfort-client

incomfort-client

Python client library for Intergas boilers accessible via a Lan2RF gateway by abstracting its HTTP API. It includes a basic CLI to demonstrate how to use the library.

This library was previously called intouch-client, as it is known in the UK as InTouch, but in mainland Europe (especially the Netherlands, where is it popular) it is known as Incomfort.

It is written for Python v3.9+. It is available as a PyPi package.

With many thanks, the code was refactored by @zxdavb and maintained for about 5 years, and maintenance now has been taken over by @jbouwh to be able to continue support.

The library is used as backend code for the Intergas InComfort/Intouch Lan2RF gateway integration with Home Assistant.

Porting from syncio libraries

This library is based upon https://github.com/bwesterb/incomfort, but uses aiohttp rather than synchronous I/O (such as requests or httplib).

Where possible, it uses the same methods and properties as bwesterb/incomfort, but with the following differences:

• Gateway class

  • added kwargs: username, password (used for newer versions of firmware)

• Heater class

  • renamed: is_burning, is_failed, is_pumping, is_tapping
  • moved: room_temp, setpoint, setpoint_override, set to Room class
  • new/added: update, status, rooms

• Room class has been added, and some methods moved in from Heater

  • same name: room_temp, setpoint
  • renamed: override, set_override
  • new/added: status

Basic CLI included

There is a very basic CLI (this output has been formatted for readability):

(venv) root@hostname:~/$ python inclient.py ${HOSTNAME}
{
  'display_code': 126,
  'display_text': 'standby',
  'fault_code': 0,

  'is_burning': False,
  'is_failed': False,
  'is_pumping': False,
  'is_tapping': False,

  'heater_temp': 31.22,
  'tap_temp': 27.91,
  'pressure': 1.23,
  'serial_no': '175t23072',

  'nodenr': 200,
  'rf_message_rssi': 38,
  'rfstatus_cntr': 0,

  'room_1': {'room_temp': 26.4, 'setpoint': 19.5, 'override': 19.5},
  'room_2': {'room_temp': None, 'setpoint': None, 'override': 19.0}
}

QA/CI via CircleCI

QA includes comparing JSON from cURL with output from this app using diff (note the --raw switch):

(venv) root@hostname:~/$ curl -X GET http://${HOSTNAME}/data.json?heater=0 | \
    python -c "import sys, json; print(json.load(sys.stdin))" > a.out

(venv) root@hostname:~/$ python inclient.py ${HOSTNAME} --raw > b.out

(venv) root@hostname:~/$ diff a.out b.out

Newer versions of the gateway require authentication:

(venv) root@hostname:~/$ python inclient.py ${HOSTNAME} -u ${USER} -p ${PASS}

(venv) root@hostname:~/$ curl --user ${USER}:${PASS} -X GET http://${HOSTNAME}/protect/data.json?heater=0

Note that at the moment CircleCI is not active.
