python-am43

AM43 blinds motor protocol implementation written in Python.

Warning
Library supports only Linux, and all features was tested on the Raspberry Pi 4

Usage

To search for single blind use am43.search method:

import am43

blind = am43.search('xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx')  # Returns single blind
blind.set_position(percentage=30)  # Sets blinds position

To use multiple blinds simply define the addresses in the am43.search method. It will return a list with a blinds:

blinds = am43.search(
    'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx',
    'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx',
    'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
)  # Returns multiple blinds instances

You can stop the blinds using Blind.stop method:

blind.stop()  # Stops blinds

Also, you can access the motor properties:

properties = blind.get_properties()

properties.battery  # 95 <int>
properties.position  # 100 <int>
properties.light  # 23 <int>

The light property will be zero if the sensor is not plugged in to the blind motor.

To install the latest version you can use pip by executing that command:

$ pip install am43

All the requirements will be installed automatically.

Full list of all dependencies you can find in setup.py file:

And you need to have bluetooth module on your machine. On Raspberry Pi (>=3) one is already on the board.
