ikea-smartlight

python framework for controlling the Ikea smart lights (tradfri)

update

as of gateway version 1.1.15 the usage of securityid is prohibated, you need to register a api user and you will get a pre shared key from the gateway. follow the steps below and all should be well

coap-client -m post -u "Client_identity" -k "SECURITY_CODE" -e '{"9090":"IDENTITY"}' "coaps://IP_ADDRESS:5684/15011/9063"
# SECURITY_CODE = the security code under the gateway
# IDENTITY      = your api user

when this is done create a file called tradfri.cfg and add

[tradfri]
hubip = x.x.x.x
apiuser = username
apikey = pre shared key

getting the apple HomeKit code for your gateway. first ensure you have the pre shared key.

coap-client -m get -u "IDENTITY" -k "PRE SHARED KEY" "coaps://IP_ADDRESS:5684/15011/15012" 2> /dev/null
# Apple HomeKit code looks like: { ... 9083: XXX-XX-XXX, ...}
# XXX-XX-XXX is your HomeKit code

requirements

at this moment there is no coap libs with dTLS, the ikea smart lights are using dTLS with coap for security. the only option is to build a new libcoap with dTLS included. libcoap requires cunit, a2x, doxygen and dot you need to install these requirements first.

sudo apt-get install automake libtool
git clone --depth 1 --recursive -b dtls https://github.com/home-assistant/libcoap.git
cd libcoap
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-documentation --disable-shared --without-debug CFLAGS="-D COAP_DEBUG_FD=stderr"
make
sudo make install

the framework also requires tqdm for showing progressbars, you could strip it from the sourcecode or install the module for python: pip install pip --upgrade && pip install tqdm.

libcoap usage

# getting tradfri pre shared key
coap-client -m post -u "Client_identity" -k "<key>" -e '{"9090":"IDENTITY"}' "coaps://<hub>:5684/15011/9063"
# getting tradfri information
./coap-client -m get -u "IDENTITY" -k "<psk>" "coaps://<hup>:5684/15001"
# getting tradfri lightbulb status
./coap-client -m get -u "IDENTITY" -k "<psk>" "coaps://<hup>:5684/15001/65537"

# turn on tradfri lightbulb
./coap-client -m put -u "IDENTITY" -k "<psk>" -e '{ "3311" : [{ "5850" : 1 }] }' "coaps://<hup>:5684/15001/65537"
# turn off tradfri lightbulb
./coap-client -m put -u "IDENTITY" -k "<psk>" -e '{ "3311" : [{ "5850" : 0 }] }' "coaps://<hup>:5684/15001/65537"
