It wraps the same API that Vallox's own web interface uses, allowing you to set operating profiles (Home, Away, Auto, Fireplace, Extra), adjust fan speeds and target temperatures, fetch real-time metrics like air temperatures and humidity, and retrieve historical logs stored on the device. The package requires Python 3.9.0+ and depends on websockets, construct, and aiohttp for async HTTP and binary protocol handling.\n\nThe library is designed for LAN-connected units running firmware 2.0.0 or newer. It has been tested on Vallox 145 MV and 270 MV models but claims compatibility with a broad range of Vallox, Airflow, and Helios ventilation units. Most metrics are read-only, but you can set profile-specific fan speeds, target temperatures, and timer values; unsettable addresses can be manually marked as settable if needed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own a compatible Vallox ventilation unit and need programmatic control. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and provides a complete async interface to the device's WebSocket API. The LGPL 3 copyleft license is a constraint only if you plan to distribute proprietary derivatives. No known security vulnerabilities. Verify your unit model is supported before committing."},"id":"vallox-websocket-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vallox-websocket-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vallox-websocket-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/vallox-websocket-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"vallox-websocket-api","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Vallox WebSocket API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73654,"position":14954,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.1.0"}
