What it is and what it does
pysmartthings is an async-first Python client library for the SmartThings API, designed to let you query and manage SmartThings devices and automations from Python code. It wraps HTTP calls to SmartThings' REST endpoints using aiohttp for non-blocking I/O, making it suitable for integration into async applications, home automation frameworks, and event-driven systems.
The package depends on aiohttp for HTTP transport, mashumaro and orjson for efficient data serialization, and yarl for URL handling. It targets modern Python (3.13+) and is actively maintained with a stable API surface. You would use it when you need programmatic access to SmartThings data in an async context—for example, polling device state, triggering automations, or building a bridge between SmartThings and another system.
Use it for
- Fetch current state of SmartThings devices (lights, locks, thermostats) in an async application
- Build a home automation dashboard that queries SmartThings for real-time device status
- Integrate SmartThings with another home automation platform or custom orchestration system
- Monitor device events and trigger external actions based on SmartThings state changes
- Develop a bot or service that controls SmartThings devices via API calls
