Getting Started
***************
Installation
============
Just run **pip3 install -U homematicip** in the command line to get the package.
This will install (and update) the library and all required packages
Getting the AUTH-TOKEN
======================
Before you can start using the library you will need an auth-token. Otherwise the HMIP Cloud will not trust you.
You will need:
- Access to an active Access Point (it must glow blue)
- the SGTIN of the Access Point
- [optional] the PIN
Now you have to run `hmip_generate_auth_token` from terminal and follow it's instructions.
It will generate a **config.ini** in your current working directory. The scripts which are using this library are looking
for this file to load the auth-token and SGTIN of the Access Point. You can either place it in the working directory when you are
running the scripts or depending on your OS in different "global" folders:
- General
- current working directory
- Windows
- %APPDATA%\\homematicip-rest-api\
- %PROGRAMDATA%\\homematicip-rest-api\
- Linux
- ~/.homematicip-rest-api/
- /etc/homematicip-rest-api/
- MAC OS
- ~/Library/Preferences/homematicip-rest-api/
- /Library/Application Support/homematicip-rest-api/
Using the CLI
=============
You can send commands to homematicIP using the `hmip_cli` script. To get an overview, use -h or --help param. To address devices, use the argument -d in combination with the 24-digit ID (301400000000000000000000) from --list-devices.
Get Information about devices and groups
----------------------------------------
Commands are bound to the channel type. To get a list of all allowed actions for a device you can write `hmip_cli -d {deviceid} --print-allowed-commands` or `hmip_cli -d {deviceid} -ac`.
To get infos for a device and its channels use the `--print-infos` argument in combination with -d for a device or -g for a group.
Examples
--------
A few examples:
- `hmip_cli --help` to get help
- `hmip_cli --list-devices` to get a list of your devices.
- `hmip_cli -d <id-from-device-list> --toggle-garage-door` to toogle the garage door with HmIP-WGC.
- `hmip_cli --list-events` to listen to events and changes in your homematicIP system
- `hmip_cli -d <id> --set-lock-state LOCKED --pin 1234` to lock a door with HmIP-DLD
- `hmip_cli --dump-configuration --anonymize` to dump the current config and anonymize it.
