Unofficial Python API for the Owlet Smart Baby Monitor

This is an unofficial python API for retrieving data from the Owlet Smart Sock. The Owlet Smart Sock is a baby monitoring system that tries to prevent the Sudden infant death syndrome by monitoring the baby's heartbeat as well as blood oxygen level via pulse oximetry and warning parents if abnormalities are detected.

The Owlet Smart Sock sends data to the Ayla Networks cloud service. You can access it via the Ayla API. The meaning of many attributes is not yet known (to me), but some are more obvious. See here for an example:

TIMESTAMP;DSN;AGE_MONTHS_OLD;ALRTS_DISABLED;ALRT_SNS_BLE;ALRT_SNS_YLW;APP_ACTIVE;AVERAGE_DATA;BABY_NAME;BASE_STATION_ON;BATT_LEVEL;BIRTHDATE;BLE_MAC_ID;BLE_RSSI;CHARGE_STATUS;CRIT_BATT_ALRT;CRIT_OX_ALRT;DEVICE_PING;DISABLE_LOGGED_DATA;ELEVATION;GENDER;HEART_RATE;HIGH_HR_ALRT;LATITUDE;LIVE_DATA_STREAM;LOCAL_BLE_MAC_ID;LOGGED_DATA_CACHE;LONGITUDE;LOW_BATT_ALRT;LOW_BATT_PRCNT;LOW_HR_ALRT;LOW_INTEG_READ;LOW_OX_ALRT;LOW_PA_ALRT;MOVEMENT;NURSERY_MODE;oem_base_version;oem_sock_version;ON_BOARDING;OTA_ERROR;OTA_STATUS;OXYGEN_LEVEL;PREMATURE;SHARE_DATA;SOCK_CONNECTION;SOCK_DISCON_ALRT;SOCK_DIS_APP_PREF;SOCK_DIS_NEST_PREF;SOCK_OFF;SOCK_REC_PLACED;

Requirements

• Python >= 3.5
• requests
• python-dateutil
• argparse

Usage

The easiest way to access data from the Owlet is via our command line interface (CLI).

Command Line Interface

Here is the build-in help:

usage: owlet [-h] [--device DEVICE] [--stream ATTRIBUTES] [--timeout TIMEOUT]
             email password {token,devices,attributes,stream,download}
             [{token,devices,attributes,stream,download} ...]
owlet: error: the following arguments are required: email, password, actions

Obtain an authentication token:

$ owlet email@email.org password token
Token: 402aba28d94a4493a106a6REDACTED

Obtain a listing of all devices in your account:

owlet email@email.org password devices
AC000W00REDACTED Online  18.7667 4.1833

List all attributes of all devices in your account:

$ owlet email@email.org password attributes
AGE_MONTHS_OLD      Age (Months)          None                 None
ALRTS_DISABLED      Disable Alerts        None                 None
ALRT_SNS_BLE        Alert Sense Ble       2018-05-09 20:54:11+00:00 1
ALRT_SNS_YLW        Alert Sense Yellow    2018-05-09 20:54:42+00:00 1
APP_ACTIVE          App Active            2019-01-10 18:50:40+00:00 0
...

Contiously poll the service for new data and output in CSV format:

$ owlet email@email.org password stream
TIMESTAMP;DSN;AGE_MONTHS_OLD;ALRTS_DISABLED;ALRT_SNS_BLE;ALRT_SNS_YLW;APP_ACTIVE;AVERAGE_DATA;BABY_NAME;BASE_STATION_ON;BATT_LEVEL;BIRTHDATE;BLE_MAC_ID;BLE_RSSI;CHARGE_STATUS;CRIT_BATT_ALRT;CRIT_OX_ALRT;DEVICE_PING;DISABLE_LOGGED_DATA;ELEVATION;GENDER;HEART_RATE;HIGH_HR_ALRT;LATITUDE;LIVE_DATA_STREAM;LOCAL_BLE_MAC_ID;LOGGED_DATA_CACHE;LONGITUDE;LOW_BATT_ALRT;LOW_BATT_PRCNT;LOW_HR_ALRT;LOW_INTEG_READ;LOW_OX_ALRT;LOW_PA_ALRT;MOVEMENT;NURSERY_MODE;oem_base_version;oem_sock_version;ON_BOARDING;OTA_ERROR;OTA_STATUS;OXYGEN_LEVEL;PREMATURE;SHARE_DATA;SOCK_CONNECTION;SOCK_DISCON_ALRT;SOCK_DIS_APP_PREF;SOCK_DIS_NEST_PREF;SOCK_OFF;SOCK_REC_PLACED;

Download the LOGGED_DATA_CACHE (of currently unknown format):

Python

You can take the CLI implementation as reference. A basic example:

# Import Owlet API
from owlet_api.owletapi import OwletAPI

# Instantiate and login
api = OwletAPI('email@email.org', 'password')
api.login()

# Iterate over all devices
for device in api.get_devices():
    # Update the attributes of this device
    device.update()
    
    # Enable data streaming for this device
    device.reactivate()
    
    # Print out all properties
    for name, myproperty in device.get_properties().items():
        print("%-19s %-21s %-20s %s" % (myproperty.name, myproperty.display_name, myproperty.last_update, myproperty.value))
    

What are the properties for a device ?
