What it is and what it does
Intellifire4Py is a Python library for controlling Intellifire smart fireplaces programmatically. It uses async HTTP communication via aiohttp to send commands to and receive state from Intellifire devices on your network. The package wraps device interactions behind a client interface, letting you interact with fireplaces from Python code or home automation systems.
The library depends on aiohttp for network I/O, pydantic for data validation, aenum for enumeration support, and rich for console output. It targets modern Python (3.13+) and is actively maintained. The codebase includes test coverage and documentation on ReadTheDocs and GitHub Pages, though the description excerpt notes some sections are still marked TODO.
Use it for
- Integrate Intellifire fireplaces into a home automation system that controls multiple devices from a single interface
- Build a mobile or web app that lets users control their fireplace remotely over the network
- Automate fireplace operation based on time of day, room temperature, or other sensor inputs
- Monitor fireplace state and log usage patterns for energy tracking or diagnostics
