aioqsw

What it is and what it does

aioqsw is an async Python library for communicating with QNAP QSW network switches. It wraps device control using aiohttp to enable non-blocking management of QNAP switches from Python applications, particularly useful in home automation and network management contexts.

The library is actively maintained and targets Python >= 3.14. It ships as a pure-Python wheel with a single runtime dependency on aiohttp, making installation straightforward. The project is in beta status and has a small but active user base.

Use it for:

• Automate QNAP switch configuration and port management in home lab or network environments.
• Monitor switch status and statistics asynchronously within larger home automation systems.
• Build custom control interfaces for QNAP network infrastructure.
• Integrate switch control into Python-based network orchestration workflows.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Async Python library for controlling QNAP QSW network switches using aiohttp.

Yes, if you own a QNAP QSW device and need programmatic async control from Python. The library is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive Apache-2.0 license. The Python >= 3.14 requirement is current but may exclude older production environments; verify device compatibility before adopting.

Install

aioqsw on PyPI

pip install aioqsw

uv add aioqsw

poetry add aioqsw

Installing aioqsw

Before you install

Active maintenance with recent commits; low install friction as a pure-Python wheel. Requires Python >= 3.14, which may limit adoption on older environments.

License in practice

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install aioqsw

import aioqsw
# See examples folder in repository for usage patterns

Requires Python >= 3.14 and network access to a QNAP QSW device.

Verify before relying

• Whether the library supports all QNAP QSW device models or only specific generations.
• Network connectivity requirements and authentication methods for device communication.
• Whether examples in the repository cover the primary use cases.
