# API Definition
## General Usage
To initialise:\
`at3 = AirTouch3("192.168.1.1")`
To read status from unit, return true if succesful, otherwise false:\
`at3.UpdateStatus();`
## Air Touch Object

`at3.id`\
`at3.comms_status`\
`at3.comms_error`\
`at3.groups`\
`at3.ac_units`\
`at3.sensors`\
`at3.update_status()`\
`at3.print_status()`
## Group Functions (aka Zones in most other systems)
`at3.toggle_group(group_id)`\
`at3.toggle_position_group(group_id, direction)`
## Group Objects
`at3.groups[group_id].number`\
`at3.groups[group_id].name`\
`at3.groups[group_id].is_on`\
`at3.groups[group_id].mode`\
`at3.groups[group_id].open_percent`\
`at3.groups[group_id].temperature`\
`at3.groups[group_id].tempeature_sp`\
`at3.groups[group_id].toggle()`\
`at3.groups[group_id].position_dec()`\
`at3.groups[group_id].position_inc()`
## AC Unit Functions
`at3.toogle_ac_unit(unit_id)`\
`at3.toggle_temperature_ac_unit(unit_id, direction:AT3Command)`
`at3.set_fan_speed_ac_unit(unit_id, speed:AT3AcFanSpeed)`
`at3.set_mode_ac_unit(unit_id, mode:AT3AcMode)`
## AC Unit Objects
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].number`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].is_on`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].has_error`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].mode`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].brand`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].fan_speed`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].temperature`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].temperature_sp`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].toggle()`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].temperature_inc()`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].temperature_dec()`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].set_fan_speed(speed:AT3AcFanSpeed)`\
`at3.acUnits[unit_id].set_mode(mode:AT3AcMode)`
## AC Sensor Objects
`at3.sensors[sensor_name].name`\
`at3.sensors[sensor_name].temperature`\
`at3.sensors[sensor_name].low_battery`
## Simple Example
```
from airtouch3 import AT3CommsStatus
from airtouch3 import AT3Command
from airtouch3.airtouch3 import AT3AcFanSpeed
at3 = AirTouch3('192.168.1.72')
at3.update_status()
if at3.comms_status != AT3CommsStatus.OK:
print("Connection failed "+at3.comms_error)
exit()
at3.print_status()
print(f"Fan Speed for AC0 {at3.set_fan_speed_ac_unit(1, AT3AcFanSpeed.HIGH)}")
exit()
# Toggle a zone on/off
#print(f"Toogle Group 7 {at3.groups[7].toggle()}")
print(f"Toogle Group 7 {at3.toggle_group(7)}")
at3.print_status()
g = at3.groups[7]
print(f"Group {g.name}: {g.is_on}; Mode is {g.mode}; {g.open_percent}%; "
f"Temp: {g.temperature}degC Target: {g.temperature_sp}degC")
# Increase a group position
#print(f"Increase zone 0: {at3.toggle_position_group(0, AT3Command.INCREMENT)}")
print(f"Increase zone 0: {at3.groups[0].position_inc()}")
g = at3.groups[0]
print(f"Group {g.name}: {g.is_on}; Mode is {g.mode}; {g.open_percent}%; "
f"Temp: {g.temperature}degC Target: {g.temperature_sp}degC")
# Decrease a group position
print(f"Decrease zone 6: {at3.toggle_position_group(6, AT3Command.DECREMENT)}")
#print(f"Decrease zone 6: {at3.groups[6].position_dec()}")
g = at3.groups[6]
print(f"Group {g.name}: {g.is_on}; Mode is {g.mode}; {g.open_percent}%; "
f"Temp: {g.temperature}degC Target: {g.temperature_sp}degC")
# Toogle AC Unit 1 on/off
#print(f"Toogle AC Unit 1 {at3.toggle_ac_unit(1)}")
print(f"Toogle AC Unit 1 {at3.ac_units[1].toggle()}")
# Toogle AC Unit 1 Temp Setpoint Up
#print(f"Toogle AC Unit 1 {at3.toggle_temperature_ac_unit(1, AT3Command.INCREMENT)}")
print(f"Toogle AC Unit 1 {at3.ac_units[1].temperature_inc()}")
# Toogle AC Unit 0 Temp Setpoint Down
#print(f"Toogle AC Unit 0 {at3.toggle_temperature_ac_unit(0, AT3Command.DECREMENT)}")
print(f"Toogle AC Unit 0 {at3.ac_units[0].temperature_dec()}")
```
# Warning
This was code developed by testing with my Airtouch 3 system. I noted during development, if the unit received unexpected data, it would stop all communication (which includes to your mobile app) for a couple of minutes. There should be no issues with your Airtouch 3 system continuing to work with your mobile app while using this API, buts that your risk if you try it and you have problems.
