A Python 3 wrapper for the homematicIP REST API (Access Point Based) Since there is no official documentation about this API everything was done via reverse engineering. Use at your own risk.
Any help from the community through e.g. pull requests would be highly appreciated.
If you want to get in contact with me or need help with the library, you can get in touch with me via discord. There is a discord server and my discord tag is agonist#6159
Kudos and a big thank you to @coreGreenberet, who created this library.
Documentation is currently not updated
Documentation can be found under https://homematicip-rest-api.readthedocs.io
Just run pip install -U homematicip to get the package
Each push on the master branch will trigger a build. That way you can test the latest version of the library with your systems.
Just run pip install -U homematicip --pre
to get the package.
If you missing a device which is not implemented yet, open an issue and append a dump of your configuration to it using https://gist.github.com. To create a dump use the CLI: python hmip_cli.py --dump-configuration --anonymize
. See Usage for more instructions.
First run python hmip_generate_auth_token.py
(from the command line) to get an auth token for your access point. it will generate a “config.ini” in your current directory.
You can send commands to homematicIP using the hmip_cli.py
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.
A few examples:
python hmip_cli.py --help
to get helppython hmip_cli.py --list-devices
to get a list of your devices.python hmip_cli.py -d <id-from-device-list> --toggle-garage-door
to toogle the garage door with HmIP-WGC.python hmip_cli.py --list-events
to listen to events and changes in your homematicIP systempython hmip_cli.py -d <id> --set-lock-state LOCKED --pin 1234
to lock a door with HmIP-DLDpython hmip_cli.py --dump-configuration --anonymize
to dump the current config and anonymize it.

It’s also possible to use push notifications based on a websocket connection:
# Example function to display incoming events.
def print_events(event_list):
for event in event_list:
print("EventType: {} Data: {}".format(event["eventType"], event["data"]))
# Initialise the API.
config = homematicip.find_and_load_config_file()
home = Home()
home.set_auth_token(config.auth_token)
home.init(config.access_point)
# Add function to handle events and start the connection.
home.onEvent += print_events
home.enable_events()
try:
while True:
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Interrupt.")
The scripts will look for a config.ini in 3 different locations depending on your OS. Copy the file to one of these locations so that it will be accessible for the scripts.
