Electrolux / AEG connected appliances integration anyone?

Amazing progress. Would love to jump in, could you create github repo with some starting info? We could cook something up

Hi,
i’m using openhab, not home assistant and am currently trying to developp a binding for my electrolux washing machine.
However, for the sake of sharing knowledge, here is some information about what i found so far by reverse engineering the android mobile app:

The logic :

Authenticate to obtain a token
Register a “device” (vitual in our case) to be able to subscribe to IBM MQTT
Read MQTT messages

Here are some (linux) command to illustrate the proof of concept :

Some variables:

username='<your_electrolux/aeg_account_email>'
user_pwd='<your password>'
user_agent="okhttp/4.9.1"
country_isocode="FR"
# You can change the country code to any of one supported by the app

# Electrolux ID
brand_id="E6EB88D2-BD0E-4C8A-8DB9-766C22FDB641"
# AEG id is : A426680A-45DC-4582-9555-519BE6B57CDF

# "My care" app ID
app_id="CC51E7D3-02B0-4846-818C-857BF095FDFA"

# A 36 characters random device ID
device_id=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '[:alpha:]' | fold -w ${1:-36} | head -n 1)

Let’s do it:

Disclaimer : i was too lazy to get the server’s certificate so i used “–insecure” for testing purpose

Get the session token (ibm client-id, authorization, and api key used in the requests are hard-coded into the app):

session_token=$(curl --insecure -s -X POST -A $user_agent "https://api.emea.ecp.electrolux.com/authentication/authenticate"  -H "x-ibm-client-id: 2a94cd2e-4248-4113-ace9-93540b43b18f" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz" -H "x-api-key: 2a94cd2e-4248-4113-ace9-93540b43b18f" -d '
{
    "brand": "Electrolux",
    "country": "'"$country_isocode"'",
    "deviceId": "'"$device_id"'",
    "fields": {},
    "password": "'"$user_pwd"'",
    "username": "'"$username"'"
}' | jq -r '.data.sessionKey')

Note: (i cannot test, but you maybe need to replace “Electrolux” by “AEG” if you are rich and own one of those )

Register the virtual device to create an access to the MQTT topic

curl --insecure -s -X POST -A $user_agent "https://api.emea.ecp.electrolux.com/livesubscribe/livestream/register" -H "x-ibm-client-id: 2a94cd2e-4248-4113-ace9-93540b43b18f" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "session_token: $session_token" -H "x-api-key: 2a94cd2e-4248-4113-ace9-93540b43b18f"

Use the data in the previous response to subscribe to the MQTT topic :

mosquitto_sub -h 4r8kqw.messaging.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com -p 8883 --cafile ./ibm_cert.crt -i "<ClientID from last curl call>" -u "use-token-auth" -P "<DeviceToken from last curl call>" -t 'iot-2/cmd/live_stream/fmt/json'

And here is the ibm_cert.crt cert file content :

Have fun.

Hi.
After some research, i’ve written some Python code… Please, check this: https://github.com/tomeko12/pyelectroluxconnect
With this module (available also via PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/pyelectroluxconnect), You can:

get list appliances paired with Electrolux account
get appliance profile with translations
get last appliance state from a cloud
send command to appliance
register/unregister client with Electrolux MQTT cloud based broker

Maybe, this will help somebody to write HA integration.

Cinamon · February 24, 2022, 7:54pm

@tomeko12
Thx for your work, but when i use your work i get an error.
when i use:

import pyelectroluxconnect
ses = pyelectroluxconnect.Session(username, password)   
ses.login()

(i have set my username and password)

i get the error:

Ciao All,

I just implement the Home Assistant Integration using the @tomeko12 's python Library.
You can find here: https://github.com/mauro-midolo/homeassistant_electrolux_status

It works correctly with my Electrolux Dryer.

tomeko12 · February 25, 2022, 3:26pm

What is Your appliance’s "appliance_type", or "pnc" and "elc" values from appliances resoponse? Must be request/response display enabled:
ses = pyelectroluxconnect.Session(username, password, raw = True)

Cinamon · February 25, 2022, 4:07pm

i dont get an appliances response because at ses.login() or appllist = ses.getAppliances() i get the same error.

When i print(ses)
status":"OK","code":"ECP0000","message":"success","data":[{"configuration_id":"944066697_00_00","configuration_description":{"brand":"Electrolux","pnc":"944066697","elc":"00","serial_number_from":0,"serial_number_to":99999999,"cpv":"00","schema_version":"0.5.a","version":"1.0019","state":"production","author_id":"toppaste-postman-v2","timestamp":1619442978994},"configuration_file":{"944066697_00_00.zip":{"content_type":"application/zip","revpos":11,"digest":"md5-dba62e812b7152ff5420a1a6f786823e","length":0,"stub":false}}}]}

tomeko12 · February 25, 2022, 5:22pm

Package updated. @Cinamon, You can check…

Cupra1979 · February 27, 2022, 4:00pm

Ciao Mauro,

I can get the connection status thanks to your integration, but I can’t read any other detail…just the “connected” or “disconnected” status.

Maybe I did something wrong?

MauroM · February 28, 2022, 6:12pm

Ciao @Cupra1979 ,

It’s correct, I only implemented status right now.
I’m working in order to integrate “TimeToEnd” property.

moskovskiy82 · March 3, 2022, 7:41am

Mauro, just two words “Thank You”

ErnestSt · March 4, 2022, 10:07pm

Thank you. Though I am unable to make integration work, after login I get error, I’ve made issue on github.

Gustav_J · March 5, 2022, 7:22am

Thank you @MauroM .

I was successfully able to install the integration and can get the status of my Dishwasher from Electrolux and Washer-Dryer from AEG. Maybe the sensor can be changed from seconds to minutes by default? Also, connected should maybe be changed to “On”?

SmilinStanSStanman · March 6, 2022, 10:55am

Hi @MauroM !!

I have installed the integration and it is working with my dishwasher AEG FSE74718P

I know this integration is just starting now, but it would be interesting to know if you think in the future it might be possible to have more attributes by retrieving other information from the Electrolux app (when it needs dishwasher rinse aid, salt, or a cleaning and machine care cycle). That would be very interesting.

Thank you!

correct_horse · March 9, 2022, 1:04pm

Hi. I’m trying to make this work for the APAC region (country code AU), but it looks like this is only implemented for EMEA.
I’ve tried to download the certificate for the APAC url with no success - any help would be appreciated!

tomeko12 · March 9, 2022, 9:15pm

Hi. I have added option in pyelectoluxconnect library to change default EMEA server to other (i think, https://api.apac.ecp.electrolux.com in Your case)

correct_horse · March 10, 2022, 12:03pm

Hi @tomeko12
Thanks for adding this to the library. I tested it with:

import pyelectroluxconnect
ses = pyelectroluxconnect.Session("myemailaddress", "mypassword", tokenFileName = ".electrolux-token", country = "AU", language = None, deviceId = "CustomeDeviceId", raw = False, verifySsl = True, regionServer= "https://api.apac.ecp.electrolux.com")
ses.login()

And the output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ed/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyelectroluxconnect/Session.py", line 139, in _createToken
    self._requestHttp(
  File "/home/ed/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyelectroluxconnect/Session.py", line 594, in _requestHttp
    raise ResponseError(response.status_code, response.text)
pyelectroluxconnect.Session.ResponseError: Invalid response, status code: 401 - Data: { "httpCode":"401", "httpMessage":"Unauthorized", "moreInformation":"Invalid client id or secret." }

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/ed/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyelectroluxconnect/Session.py", line 625, in login
    self._createToken()
  File "/home/ed/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyelectroluxconnect/Session.py", line 144, in _createToken
    and json.loads(ex.text)["code"] == "AER0802"):
KeyError: 'code'

Not sure what I may be doing wrong, I’m new to Python. Appreciate any guidance!

tomeko12 · March 10, 2022, 3:44pm

Hi @correct_horse . Probably, there’s are differences with communication beetwen mobile app and Electrolux infrastructure on other regions. I have only EMEA account, mobile app and appliace, so I can’t check what’s a problem with other regions.

tomeko12 · March 10, 2022, 7:54pm

@correct_horse , please update pyelectroluxconnect, and try:

import pyelectroluxconnect
ses = pyelectroluxconnect.Session("myemailaddress", "mypassword", tokenFileName = ".electrolux-token", country = "AU", language = None, deviceId = "CustomeDeviceId", raw = False, verifySsl = True, region="apac")
ses.login()

correct_horse · March 10, 2022, 9:21pm

@tomeko12 - works like a charm with my Electrolux Fridge. Thanks a lot!

For reference, I’m pasting the transcript of the session:

>>> import pyelectroluxconnect
>>> ses = pyelectroluxconnect.Session("myemailaddress", "mypassword", tokenFileName = ".electrolux-token", country = "AU", language = None, deviceId = "CustomeDeviceId", raw = False, verifySsl = True, region="apac")
>>> ses.login()
>>> appllist = ses.getAppliances()
>>> print(appllist)
{'04XXXX66-443EXXXXXX13': {'alias': 'My Fridge', 'pnc': '92XXXXXX4', 'elc': '05', 'sn': '048XXXX6', 'mac': '443EXXXXXX13', 'cpv': '00', 'brand': 'Electrolux', 'group': 'Refrigeration', 'model': 'EHE6799SA'}}

Once again thanks a lot. Hoping @MauroM can add this to his Home Assistant Integration
