# aiopulse — Asynchronous library to control Rollease Acmeda Automate roller blinds via a version 1 Pulse Hub.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 73.7K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Aiopulse is an async Python library that communicates with Rollease Acmeda Automate roller blinds through a version 1 Pulse Hub over your local network. It uses a proprietary binary protocol to send commands—open, close, stop, or move to a specific position—and retrieve blind status. The library is built on asyncio, making it suitable for integration into async applications like home automation systems or smart home frameworks.

The package provides discovery to find hubs on your network, connection management, and command methods for individual blinds. It depends only on psutil and requires Python 3.12 or newer. A separate package exists for version 2 Pulse Hubs, so ensure you have the correct hub version before installing.

Use it for:

- Integrate roller blind control into a home automation system running on asyncio
- Build a web dashboard to remotely open, close, or position blinds via a local API
- Automate blind schedules based on time of day or sensor input in a smart home setup
- Discover and list all connected blinds and hubs on your network for inventory or debugging
- Control blinds programmatically in response to events like sunrise or sunset

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Asynchronous Python library for controlling Rollease Acmeda Automate roller blinds over a local network via a version 1 Pulse Hub using a proprietary binary protocol.

Yes, if you own Rollease Acmeda Automate roller blinds with a version 1 Pulse Hub and need async Python control. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. The main constraint is Python version (3.12 or newer) and the requirement that your hub be on the same local network. Not applicable if you have version 2 Pulse Hubs or a different blind system.

## Install

pip install aiopulse
uv add aiopulse
poetry add aiopulse

## Installing aiopulse

Before you install: Low install friction with a single runtime dependency (psutil). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit on 2026-08-04 and latest release 10 days ago. Repository is not archived and shows ongoing development.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache License 2.0 (permissive). You may use, modify, and distribute the package freely provided you include the license and document any changes. No restrictions on commercial use.

Quickstart:

pip install aiopulse

import asyncio
from aiopulse import Hub

async def main():
    hub = Hub('your-hub-ip')
    await hub.connect()
    await hub.discover()
    await hub.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())

Requires Python 3.12 or newer. Pulse Hub must be on the same local network and accessible via IP address.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package works with Pulse Hub firmware versions beyond the initial release
- Performance characteristics when controlling many blinds simultaneously
- Timeout and retry behavior for network failures or unresponsive hubs
- Specific IP address format or hostname resolution requirements for hub connection
