Unofficial API for Whirlpool's 6th Sense appliances
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you own Whirlpool or Maytag 6th Sense appliances and need programmatic control or home automation integration. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. However, be aware that it is unofficial, carries inherent risk of appliance malfunction, and requires Python 3.14 or later—a constraint that may limit compatibility with some environments.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.14 or later; appliance must be registered with Whirlpool's cloud service and accessible via the official app.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and three async-focused runtime dependencies.
- Active maintenance with a recent commit on 2026-08-14 and a release 15 days prior.

What it is and what it does
Whirlpool Sixth Sense is an unofficial Python client for interacting with Whirlpool and Maytag smart appliances that use the 6th Sense platform. It communicates with Whirlpool's cloud API to list registered appliances and send control commands—such as adjusting AC settings or monitoring appliance state—without going through the official mobile app. The package uses aiohttp, websockets, and async-timeout to handle asynchronous network communication.
The library is designed for home automation integrations (notably used by Home Assistant's Whirlpool integration) and provides both a Python API and a command-line interface for account management and device control. It carries an explicit disclaimer that use is at the user's own risk and that developers assume no liability for appliance damage or malfunction caused by the library.
Use it for
- Integrate Whirlpool or Maytag smart appliances into a Home Assistant or other home automation platform.
- Build custom scripts to monitor appliance status or trigger actions based on external events.
- List and query all registered Whirlpool appliances associated with a user account.
- Control AC temperature and other appliance settings programmatically without the official app.
- Develop third-party dashboards or mobile apps that interact with Whirlpool devices.
