Asynchronous Python client for Rako Controls.
**This is a modernized fork** that has been updated to Python 3.12+ best practices, includes async concurrency fixes for Home Assistant integration, and uses modern tooling (Ruff, Hatchling, etc.).
## About
This package allows you to control and monitor Rako Controls devices
programmatically. It is mainly created to allow third-party programs to automate
their behavior.
## Installation
```bash
pip install python-rako-2025
```
## Usage
```python
import asyncio
import aiohttp
from python_rako import discover_bridge, Bridge
async def main():
# Discover bridge on network
bridge_info = await discover_bridge()
print(f"Found bridge: {bridge_info}")
# Create bridge instance
bridge = Bridge(
host=bridge_info["host"],
port=bridge_info["port"],
name=bridge_info["name"],
mac=bridge_info["mac"]
)
# Get bridge information and discover devices
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
info = await bridge.get_info(session)
print(f"Bridge version: {info.version}")
# Discover all lights
async for light in bridge.discover_lights(session):
print(f"Found light: {light.title} (Room {light.room_id})")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Changelog & Releases
This repository keeps a change log using [GitHub's releases][releases]
functionality. The format of the log is based on
[Keep a Changelog][keepchangelog].
Releases are based on [Semantic Versioning][semver], and use the format
of ``MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH``. In a nutshell, the version will be incremented
based on the following:
- ``MAJOR``: Incompatible or major changes.
- ``MINOR``: Backwards-compatible new features and enhancements.
- ``PATCH``: Backwards-compatible bugfixes and package updates.
## Contributing
This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to
use the code or contribute to it.
We've set up a separate document for our
[contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).
Thank you for being involved! :heart_eyes:
## Setting up development environment
In case you'd like to contribute, a `Makefile` has been included to ensure a
quick start.
```bash
make venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
make dev
```
Now you can start developing, run `make` without arguments to get an overview
of all make goals that are available (including description):
```bash
$ make
Asynchronous Python client for Rako Controls Lighting.
Usage:
make help Shows this message.
make dev Set up a development environment.
make lint Run Ruff linting and formatting checks.
make format Format code with Ruff.
make typecheck Run type checking with MyPy.
make check Run all checks (linting, formatting, and type checking).
make test Run tests quickly with the default Python.
make coverage Check code coverage quickly with the default Python.
make install Install the package to the active Python's site-packages.
make clean Removes build, test, coverage and Python artifacts.
make clean-all Removes all venv, build, test, coverage and Python artifacts.
make clean-build Removes build artifacts.
make clean-pyc Removes Python file artifacts.
make clean-test Removes test and coverage artifacts.
make clean-venv Removes Python virtual environment artifacts.
make dist Builds source and wheel package.
make release Release build on PyPI.
make venv Create Python venv environment.
make bump-patch Bump patch version (x.y.Z) and commit.
make bump-minor Bump minor version (x.Y.z) and commit.
make bump-major Bump major version (X.y.z) and commit.
