CIpdocPyPI Release

An asynchronous library to interact with Control4 systems through their built-in REST API. This is known to work on controllers with OS 2.10.1.544795-res and OS 3.0+.

Auto-generated function documentation can be found at https://lawtancool.github.io/pyControl4

For those who are looking for a pre-built solution for controlling their devices, this library is implemented in the official Home Assistant Control4 integration.

Usage example

from pyControl4.auth import C4Account
from pyControl4.director import C4Director
from pyControl4.light import C4Light
import asyncio
import json

username = ""
password = ""

ip = "192.168.1.25"

"""Authenticate with Control4 account"""
account = C4Account(username, password)
asyncio.run(account.getAccountBearerToken())

"""Get and print controller name"""
accountControllers = asyncio.run(account.getAccountControllers())
print(accountControllers["controllerCommonName"])

"""Get bearer token to communicate with controller locally"""
director_bearer_token = asyncio.run(
    account.getDirectorBearerToken(accountControllers["controllerCommonName"])
)["token"]

"""Create new C4Director instance"""
director = C4Director(ip, director_bearer_token)

"""Print all devices on the controller"""
print(asyncio.run(director.getAllItemInfo()))

"""Create new C4Light instance"""
light = C4Light(director, 253)

"""Ramp light level to 10% over 10000ms"""
asyncio.run(light.rampToLevel(10, 10000))

"""Print state of light"""
print(asyncio.run(light.getState()))
