A library to control your Tado Smart Thermostat. This repository contains an actual library in libtado/api.py and a proof of concept command line client in libtado/__main__.py.

The tested version of APIs is Tado v2.

Installation

You can download official library with pip install libtado.

But because I do not own a Tado anymore you may want to use a fork of libtado instead. For example you can install the fork that is currently (February 2019) maintained and improved by @germainlefebvre4. Please note that I do not monitor or verify changes of this repository. Please check the source yourself.

git clone https://github.com/germainlefebvre4/libtado.git

Please check out https://libtado.readthedocs.io for more documentation.

Preparation

Retrieve the CLIENT_SECRET before running the script otherwise you will get a 401 Unauthorized Access.

The latest CLIENT_SECRET can be found at https://my.tado.com/webapp/env.js. It will look something like this:

var TD = {
    config: {
        version: 'v588',
        oauth: {
          clientSecret: 'wZaRN7rpjn3FoNyF5IFuxg9uMzYJcvOoQ8QWiIqS3hfk6gLhVlG57j5YNoZL2Rtc'
        }
    }
};

An alternative way to get your CLIENT_SECRET is to enable the Developper Mode when logging in and catch the Headers. You will find the form data like this :

client_id: tado-web-app
client_secret: fndskjnjzkefjNFRNkfKJRNFKRENkjnrek
grant_type: password
password: MyBeautifulPassword
scope: home.user
username: email@example.com

Then you just have to get the value in the attribute client_secret. You will need it to connect to your account through Tado APIs. The client_secret never dies so you can base your script on it.

Usage

Download the repository. You can work inside it. Beware that the examples assume that they can access the file ./libtado/api.py.

Now you can call it in your Pyhton script!

import libtado.api

t = api.Tado('my@email.com', 'myPassword', 'client_secret')

print(t.get_me())
print(t.get_home())
print(t.get_zones())
print(t.get_state(1))

Examples

An example script is provided in the repository as example.py. It shows you how to use the library and expose some structured responses. A more detailed example is available in libtado/__main__.py.
