It provides async methods to send commands and refresh device state, plus a UDP discovery service to locate controllers. Synchronous property reads return cached data without network I/O, while async methods perform actual device communication and raise ConnectionError or ControllerCommandError on failure.\n\nThe library is designed for home automation integrations and is actively used by Home Assistant's iZone integration. It depends on aiohttp for HTTP I/O and ifaddr for network discovery, and requires Python 3.14 or later. The main entry points are Controller and Zone for device control, and DiscoveryService for finding controllers on the network.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own an iZone air conditioning system and need to integrate it with Python-based home automation or custom tooling. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. The GPL-3.0-or-later copyleft license is a consideration only if you plan to distribute derivative code. Requires Python 3.14 or later and aiohttp>=3.14.1."},"id":"python-izone","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-izone","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-izone.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-izone/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":"GPL-3.0-or-later","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"python-izone","python_support":"capped_below_current","summary":"A python interface to the iZone airconditioner controller"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":79718,"position":14338,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.10"}
