Bosch Smart Home Controller API Python Library

This library implements the local communication REST API for the Bosch Smart Home Controller system. It supports both long and short polling. The API documentation is available here.

The following device services are implemented:

  • TemperatureLevel
  • HumidityLevel
  • RoomClimateControl
  • ShutterContact
  • ValveTappet
  • PowerSwitch
  • PowerMeter
  • Routing
  • PowerSwitchProgram
  • PresenceSimulationConfiguration
  • BinarySwitch
  • SmokeDetectorCheck
  • Alarm
  • ShutterControl
  • CameraLight
  • PrivacyMode
  • CameraNotification
  • IntrusionDetectionControl
  • Keypad
  • LatestMotion
  • AirQualityLevel
  • SurveillanceAlarm
  • BatteryLevel
  • Thermostat
  • WaterLeakageSensor
  • WaterLeakageSensorTilt
  • and more

The following device models are implemented, using the above services:

  • ShutterContact, ShutterContact2
  • ShutterControl, Micromodule Shutter
  • SmartPlug
  • SmartPlugCompact
  • LightControl, Micromodule Light Control, Micromodule Light Attached, Micromodule Relay
  • SmokeDetector
  • CameraEyes, Camera360
  • IntrusionDetectionSystem
  • RoomClimateControl
  • Thermostat, Thermostat2
  • WallThermostat
  • UniversalSwitch
  • MotionDetector
  • PresenceSimulationSystem
  • Twinguard
  • WaterLeakageSensor

Command line access to SHC

  1. Install a python (>=3.10) environment on your computer.
  2. Install latest version of boschshcpy, you should have at least version>=0.2.45.
pip install boschshcpy

Registering a new client

To register a new client, use the script boschshc_registerclient:

boschshc_registerclient -ip _your_shc_ip_ -pw _your_shc_password_

This will register your client and will write the associated certificate/key pair into your working directory. See also Usage Guide

Rawscans

To make a rawscan of your devices, use the script boschshc_rawscan

Make a rawscan of the public information

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ public_information

Make a rawscan of all devices

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ devices

Make a rawscan of a single device with a known device_id

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ device _your_device_id_

An exemplary output looks as follows:

    {
        "@type": "device",
        "rootDeviceId": "xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx",
        "id": "hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx",
        "deviceServiceIds": [
            "Thermostat",
            "BatteryLevel",
            "ValveTappet",
            "SilentMode",
            "TemperatureLevel",
            "Linking",
            "TemperatureOffset"
        ],
        "manufacturer": "BOSCH",
        "roomId": "hz_8",
        "deviceModel": "TRV",
        "serial": "30xxx",
        "profile": "GENERIC",
        "name": "Test Thermostat",
        "status": "AVAILABLE",
        "parentDeviceId": "roomClimateControl_hz_8",
        "childDeviceIds": []
    },

Make a rawscan of the associated services of a device

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ device_services _your_device_id_

The exemplary output will look as follows:

[
    {
        "@type": "DeviceServiceData",
        "id": "BatteryLevel",
        "deviceId": "hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx",
        "path": "/devices/hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx/services/BatteryLevel"
    },
    {
        "@type": "DeviceServiceData",
        "id": "Thermostat",
        "deviceId": "hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx",
        "state": {
            "@type": "childLockState",
            "childLock": "OFF"
        },
        "path": "/devices/hdm:HomeMaticIP:30xxx/services/Thermostat"
    },
...
]

Make a rawscan of the a service of a device, where the device_id as well as the service_id are known

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ device_service _your_device_id_ _your_service_id

Make a rawscan of the all scenarios

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ scenarios

Make a rawscan of the all rooms

boschshc_rawscan -ip _your_shc_ip_ -cert _your_shc_cert_file_ -key _your_shc_key_file_ rooms

Example code to use the boschshcpy library

import boschshcpy

# Create session
session = boschshcpy.SHCSession(controller_ip="192.168.25.51", certificate='cert.pem', key='key.pem')
session.information.summary()

device = session.device('roomClimateControl_hz_5')
service = device.device_service('TemperatureLevel')
print(service.temperature)

# Update this service's state
service.short_poll()

# Start long polling thread in background
session.start_polling()

# Do work here
...

# Stop polling
session.stop_polling()

# Trigger intrusion detection system
intrusion_control = session.intrusion_system
intrusion_control.arm()

# Get rawscan of devices
scan_result = session.rawscan(command="devices")

Usage guide

Before accessing the Bosch Smart Home Controller, a client must be registered on the controller. For this a valid cert/key pair must be provided to the controller. To start the client registration, press and hold the button on the controller until the led starts flashing. More information here.
