# aiorinnai - Python interface for the Rinnai Control-R API
[](https://pypi.org/project/aiorinnai)
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0)
Python library for communicating with the [Rinnai Control-R Water Heaters and control devices](https://www.rinnai.us/tankless-water-heater/accessories/wifi) via the Rinnai Control-R cloud API.
***WARNING***
* This library only works if you have migrated to the Rinnai 2.0 app. This will require a firmware update to your Control-R module.
* [IOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rinnai-control-r-2-0/id1180734911?app=itunes&ign-mpt=uo%3D4)
* [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.controlr)
NOTE:
* This library is community supported, please submit changes and improvements.
* This is a very basic interface, not well thought out at this point, but works for the use cases that initially prompted spitting this out from.
## Supports
- starting/stop recirculation
- setting temperature
## Installation
```
pip install aiorinnai==0.3.0
```
## Examples
```python
import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from aiorinnai import async_get_api
async def main() -> None:
"""Run!"""
api = await async_get_api("<EMAIL>", "<PASSWORD>")
# Get user account information:
user_info = await api.user.get_info()
# Get device information
first_device_id = user_info["devices"]["items"][0]["id"]
device_info = await api.device.get_info(first_device_id)
#Start Recirculation
#Last variable is duration in minutes
start_recirculation = await api.device.start_recirculation(device_info['data']['getDevices'], 5)
#Stop Recirculation
stop_recirculation = await api.device.stop_recirculation(device_info['data']['getDevices'])
#Set Temperature
#Last variable is the temperature in increments of 5
set_temperature = await api.device.set_temperature(device_info['data']['getDevices'], 130)
asyncio.run(main())
```
By default, the library creates a new connection to Rinnai with each coroutine. If you are calling a large number of coroutines (or merely want to squeeze out every second of runtime savings possible), an aiohttp ClientSession can be used for connection pooling:
```python
import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from aiorinnai import async_get_api
async def main() -> None:
"""Create the aiohttp session and run the example."""
async with ClientSession() as websession:
api = await async_get_api("<EMAIL>", "<PASSWORD>", session=websession)
# Get user account information:
user_info = await api.user.get_info()
# Get device information
first_device_id = user_info["devices"]["items"][0]["id"]
device_info = await api.device.get_info(first_device_id)
#Start Recirculation
#Last variable is duration in minutes
start_recirculation = await api.device.start_recirculation(user_info["id"], first_device_id, 5)
print(start_recirculation)
#Stop Recirculation
stop_recirculation = await api.device.stop_recirculation(user_info["id"], first_device_id)
print(stop_recirculation)
#Set Temperature
#Last variable is the temperature in increments of 5
set_temperature = await api.device.set_temperature(user_info["id"], first_device_id, 130)
asyncio.run(main())
```
## Known Issues
* not all APIs supported
