Introduction

This is a Python 3.8+ module aiming to interact with the Chamberlain MyQ API.

Code is licensed under the MIT license.

Homeassistant

Homeassistant has a core myQ component leveraging this package. In addition, there is also a HACS myQ component available that can be added into HACS as a custom repository.

Getting Started

Installation

pip install pymyq

Usage

pymyq starts within an aiohttp ClientSession:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession


async def main() -> None:
    """Create the aiohttp session and run."""
    async with ClientSession() as websession:
      # YOUR CODE HERE


asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

To get all MyQ devices associated with an account:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

import pymyq


async def main() -> None:
    """Create the aiohttp session and run."""
    async with ClientSession() as websession:
      myq = await pymyq.login('<EMAIL>', '<PASSWORD>', websession)

      # Return only cover devices:
      devices = myq.covers
      # >>> {"serial_number123": <Device>}

      # Return only lamps devices:
      devices = myq.lamps
      # >>> {"serial_number123": <Device>}

      # Return only locks devices:
      devices = myq.locks
      # >>> {"serial_number123": <Device>}
      
      # Return only gateway devices:
      devices = myq.gateways
      # >>> {"serial_number123": <Device>}

      # Return *all* devices:
      devices = myq.devices
      # >>> {"serial_number123": <Device>, "serial_number456": <Device>}


asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

Account Properties (MyQAccount)

api: Associated API object
id: ID for the account
name: Name of the account
covers: dictionary with all covers for account (MyQGarageDoor)
devices: dictionary with all devices for account (MyQDevice)
gateways: dictionary with all gateways for account (MyQDevice)

Device Properties

account: Return account associated with device (MyQAccount)
close_allowed: Return whether the device can be closed unattended.
device_family: Return the family in which this device lives.
device_id: Return the device ID (serial number).
device_json: Dictionary containing all device information as retrieved from MyQ
device_platform: Return the device platform.
device_type: Return the device type.

open_allowed: Return whether the device can be opened unattended.
parent_device_id: Return the device ID (serial number) of this device's parent.
state: Return the current state of the device.
state_update: Returns datetime when device was last updated

API Methods

These are coroutines and need to be awaited – see example.py for examples.

authenticate: Authenticate (or re-authenticate) to MyQ. Call this to re-authenticate immediately after changing username and/or password otherwise new username/password will only be used when token has to be refreshed.
update_device_info: Retrieve info and status for all accounts and devices

Account Methods

All of the routines on the MyQAccount class are coroutines and need to be awaited – see example.py for examples.

update: get the latest device info (state, etc.) for all devices associated with this account.

Device Methods

All of the routines on the MyQDevice class are coroutines and need to be awaited – see example.py for examples.

update: get the latest device info (state, etc.). Note that this runs MyQAccount.update and thus all devices within account will be updated

Cover Methods

All Device methods in addition to:

close: close the cover
open: open the cover

Lamp Methods
