It abstracts heatpump communication into a model-aware interface where you instantiate a HeatPump object for your specific model (F370, S320, VVM225, etc.), initialize it, subscribe to coil update events, and then read or write individual parameters called coils through a connection object.\n\nThe library handles the low-level protocol details\u2014packet construction, Modbus framing, UDP relay through NibeGW\u2014so you work with named coils like 'bt50-room-temp-s1-40033' rather than raw registers. It depends on construct for binary parsing, async_modbus for Modbus protocol, tenacity for retry logic, and async_timeout for timeout management. The code is production-stable, actively maintained, and carries no known vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own a supported Nibe heatpump and need programmatic control or monitoring. The library is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, installs cleanly, and supports modern Python versions (3.9\u20133.14). The copyleft license (LGPL 3) is standard for open-source projects and poses no barrier to personal or commercial use as long as you comply with derivative-work obligations. The main prerequisite is having the appropriate hardware gateway or Modbus interface; without it, the library cannot communicate with your heatpump."},"id":"nibe","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nibe","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nibe.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/nibe/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"nibe","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Nibe heatpump communication library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75843,"position":14675,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.24.0"}
