# pyfibaro — Simple API to access fibaro home center from any Python 3 script. Designed for Home Assistant (but not only)

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 73.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

pyfibaro is a lightweight Python wrapper around the Fibaro home automation hub REST API. It abstracts authentication, device enumeration, and action execution into a simple client interface, allowing you to query device state and trigger actions (like turning devices on/off) from Python code.

The library was originally built for Home Assistant integration but works as a standalone tool for any project needing to control Fibaro-compatible hubs. It depends only on requests and supports Python 3.11 and later, making it straightforward to add to existing automation scripts or integrations.

Use it for:

- Query device status and metadata from a Fibaro hub in a home automation script or daemon.
- Trigger device actions (turnOn, turnOff, etc.) programmatically from Python without manual API calls.
- Integrate Fibaro hub control into a larger Home Assistant or custom automation platform.
- Monitor and log device state changes by polling the hub at intervals.
- Build custom automation rules that respond to external events by controlling Fibaro devices.

## Worth the install?

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

Provides a Python client library to interact with Fibaro home automation hubs (Home Center 2/3, Yubii Home, Zooz Z-Box) via their REST API, enabling device control and status queries.

Yes, if you own a Fibaro hub and need Python integration. The library is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs cleanly, and uses a permissive license. The single dependency (requests) is stable and widely trusted. Start with the provided examples to verify your hub is reachable and your credentials work.

## Install

pip install pyfibaro
uv add pyfibaro
poetry add pyfibaro

## Installing pyfibaro

Before you install: Low friction installation with a single dependency (requests). Actively maintained as of 2026-04-01 with recent releases; supports modern Python versions (3.11–3.13).

License in practice: MIT license permits use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions; suitable for both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart:

pip install pyfibaro

from pyfibaro import FibaroClient

client = FibaroClient("http://192.168.1.2/api/")
client.set_authentication("username", "password")
client.connect()
devices = client.read_devices()

Requires a Fibaro hub (Home Center 2/3, Yubii Home, or Zooz Z-Box) accessible on the network with a configured user account.

Verify before relying:

- Actual test coverage and test suite maturity beyond the existence of a test script.
- Whether Zooz Z-Box Hub support is production-ready given it is noted as untested.
- API completeness relative to the full Fibaro REST API surface.
