It abstracts the OAuth authentication flow and REST API calls, allowing developers to query device status, read temperatures, adjust heating programs, and manage circuits, burners, and compressors through a unified Python interface.\n\nThe library supports multiple heating device types (gas boilers, heat pumps, hybrid systems, pellet and oil boilers, fuel cells) and handles device-specific feature availability by raising exceptions for unsupported operations. It depends on authlib for OAuth, requests for HTTP communication, and deprecated for backward-compatibility warnings. Breaking changes across major versions (1.x, 2.x, 2.8.x, 2.27.x) reflect API redesigns and device model separation; users upgrading should review the changelog.","worth_installing":"Yes. PyViCare is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is the official Python client for Viessmann devices. Install it if you need programmatic access to a Viessmann heating system; the main gotcha is the prerequisite OAuth setup with the Viessmann Developer Portal, which is documented but requires manual registration."},"id":"pyvicare","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyvicare","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyvicare.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyvicare/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PyViCare","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Library to communicate with the Viessmann ViCare API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":84587,"position":13985,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.61.0"}
