adguardhome

What it is and what it does

This package provides an async Python interface to AdGuard Home, a network-wide DNS filtering and ad-blocking service. It lets you query the status of an AdGuard Home instance and control its protection settings programmatically—checking whether protection is enabled, toggling it on or off, and retrieving version information. The library is built on aiohttp for non-blocking network I/O, making it suitable for integration into automation frameworks and home-automation platforms.

The primary use case is enabling third-party applications to automate AdGuard Home behavior based on events or conditions—for example, automatically enabling parental controls when children arrive home, or disabling protection during maintenance windows. It abstracts away the HTTP API details, offering a clean async/await interface for developers building integrations.

Use it for:

• Automate parental controls in AdGuard Home based on time-of-day or presence detection events.
• Monitor AdGuard Home protection status and alert when DNS filtering is disabled.
• Integrate AdGuard Home control into home-automation platforms like Home Assistant.
• Programmatically toggle protection on or off based on network conditions or user actions.
• Query AdGuard Home version and status as part of a network health-check routine.

Quickstart

pip install adguardhome

from adguardhome import AdGuardHome
import asyncio

async def main():
    async with AdGuardHome("192.168.1.2") as adguard:
        version = await adguard.version()
        print("AdGuard version:", version)
        active = await adguard.protection_enabled()
        if not active:
            await adguard.enable_protection()

asyncio.run(main())

Requires Python 3.11 or later; AdGuard Home instance must be accessible at the provided network address.

Verify before relying

• Whether authentication (username/password or API key) is required to connect to AdGuard Home instances.
• Full scope of available API methods beyond version(), protection_enabled(), and enable_protection().
• Whether the client supports AdGuard Home's DNS filtering rules, blocklists, or custom filtering configuration.
