pyeconet
Interface to the unofficial EcoNet API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you own Rheem EcoNet equipment and need programmatic async control or monitoring. The low install friction, permissive license, and active codebase make it straightforward to adopt. However, be aware that the maintainer no longer actively uses the package and is seeking new ownership, and the unofficial API carries inherent risk of breaking changes from Rheem without warning.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.8 or later.
- Unofficial API—Rheem could change or block access without warning.
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (aiohttp, paho-mqtt).

What it is and what it does
pyeconet is an async Python client for the unofficial Rheem EcoNet cloud API, allowing you to query and control Rheem water heaters and thermostats remotely. It wraps the EcoNet API behind a Python interface that uses aiohttp for async HTTP calls and paho-mqtt for potential MQTT integration.
The package is built around an EcoNetApiInterface class that handles login, device discovery by type, and equipment state queries. It depends on aiohttp and paho-mqtt as runtime dependencies. The maintainer has stepped back from active use and is seeking new ownership, so while the code is actively maintained on GitHub, the unofficial nature of the API means Rheem could change or revoke access at any time without notice.
Use it for
- Integrate Rheem water heaters or thermostats into a home automation system via async Python code.
- Query current state and settings of Rheem equipment from a local application or service.
- Build monitoring or alerting logic around Rheem device status and energy usage.
- Control water heater operation modes or thermostat setpoints programmatically.
