lacrosse-view
Client for retrieving data from the La Crosse View cloud
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you own La Crosse View-connected sensors and need programmatic access to their data. The library is stable and has low install friction, but be aware that the maintainer has stepped back from active development and will only apply fixes required by Home Assistant. If the cloud API changes or you encounter issues specific to your device setup, support will be limited.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid La Crosse View account with connected sensors; Python 3.6 or later.
- Low friction install with three runtime dependencies (aiohttp, pydantic, aiozoneinfo).
- Maintenance is active but the maintainer has explicitly stated the project is no longer being updated beyond general Home Assistant compatibility fixes, and they no longer own a device for testing.

asyncio.run(get_data())- Whether the La Crosse View cloud API remains stable and accessible for authentication and sensor queries.
- Current compatibility status with La Crosse View's backend after the maintainer's shift away from active development.
- Whether all sensor types and data fields are reliably returned across different device configurations.
What it is and what it does
lacrosse_view is an async Python client for querying the La Crosse View cloud service, which aggregates data from La Crosse View-connected environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, and similar readings). It handles authentication, location and sensor discovery, and time-windowed data retrieval with timezone support. The library wraps the cloud API and returns sensor readings as structured objects with values and Unix timestamps.
It is designed for integration with Home Assistant and similar home automation platforms, or for standalone scripts that need to pull sensor readings programmatically. The package uses aiohttp for async HTTP requests and pydantic for data validation, making it suitable for event-driven or concurrent applications.
Use it for
- Integrate La Crosse View sensors into Home Assistant for centralized home automation monitoring.
- Build a script to log sensor readings to a database or time-series store on a schedule.
- Query historical sensor data within a time window for analysis or reporting.
- Retrieve current readings from multiple sensors across different locations in a single account.
- Automate alerts or actions based on sensor thresholds (temperature, humidity) via a custom application.
