It discovers devices on the LAN, establishes authenticated connections using device tokens and keys, and exposes appliance attributes and control methods\u2014such as setting temperature or swing mode on air conditioners\u2014through a unified device interface.\n\nThe library handles the low-level protocol details (encryption via pycryptodome, async I/O via aiohttp and aiofiles) and provides both a programmatic API and a command-line tool. It targets Python 3.12+ and has been actively maintained with frequent releases; it's part of a larger ecosystem for Midea device automation.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. Install it if you own Midea M-Smart appliances and want local-network control without cloud dependency. The main prerequisite is obtaining device tokens and keys from your Midea account, which the documentation does not fully detail\u2014verify that step before committing."},"id":"midea-local","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/midea-local","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/midea-local.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/midea-local/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"midea-local","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Control your Midea M-Smart appliances via local area network"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":307816,"position":7773,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.0.1"}
