# NeoHubAPI
This is a simple python wrapper around Heatmiser's Neohub API.
This is a simple python wrapper around Heatmiser's Neohub API. Up-to-date
documentation for the API can be obtained from the [Heatmiser Developer
Portal](https://dev.heatmiser.com). You will need to sign up for a free account.
It's primary purpose is to be used via Home Assistant integration but
it can also be used as a standalone library.
The primary purpose of this module is to help with [Home
Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io) integration but it can also be used as
a standalone library for other projects.
## Connection methods
The API provides two connection methods. The so-called "legacy" method is by way of an unencrypted connection to port 4242 of the Neohub. The newer method uses an encrypted websocket on port 4243, but only works on a second generation hub (look for the sticker on the back).
To use the websocket connection, you need to obtain a token from the Heatmiser Neo app. Go to `Settings > API > +` in the app and create one.
On newer hubs, the legacy connection may be disabled by default. If you want to use it, go to `Settings > API` in the app, and enable it from there.
