Running the tests

The tox configuration is already included. Simply launch:

$ tox

(Do not forget to 'pip install tox' if you do not have it.) Tests are written in the tests directory. tests/data folder contains samples of EzvizLife API for tests purposes.

As there is no official documentation on the API, I had to reverse-engineer what is the one used in the Ezviz IOS APP. Some Regions might operate on an isolated platform and require a url to be entered. US for example:

pyezviz -u username@domain.com -p PASS@123 -r apiius.ezvizlife.com devices status

Contributing

Any contribution is welcome, considering the number of features the API provides, there is room for improvement!

All credit towards @ollu69 and @zimmra for the instructions below. While it's catered for LG, the EZVIZ app works the same way (so just use EZVIZ when any references to LG/Thinq android app pops up.)

Obtaining API Information For troubleshooting issues, or investigating potential new devices, information can be intercepted from the API via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) http proxy interception method. Charles, mitmproxy, and Fiddler are examples of software that can be used to perform this mitm 'attack'/observation.

This can be done using a physical or virtual device that can run the EZVIZ API app. While it is possible with iOS, this instructions are for running Android on a modern Windows 11 PC.

Windows 11 enables the ability to run Android apps on most modern machines, making this process more accessible by eliminating the need for a physical device or separate emulation/virtualization software.

For information on how to do this with Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) on Windows 11 using mitmproxy, please see the repo zimmra/frida-rootbypass-and-sslunpinning-lg-thinq.
