Get credentials

Update:

@shenxn: https://github.com/shenxn/ha-dyson/issues/5#issuecomment-791887983

I’ve added 2FA support to libdyson (https://github.com/shenxn/libdyson). Download or clone the repo, then run python3 get_devices.py to get credentials. You may also need to install some dependencies using pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

Not an actual issue, but wanted to make this available for other people

I’ve managed to get credentials in two ways:

1. Using libpurecool

Use this fork of libpurecool (fix_auth branch): https://github.com/bfayers/libpurecool/tree/fix_auth python3 -m pip install https://github.com/bfayers/libpurecool/archive/fix_auth.zip

1. Create a new file called whatever.py
2. Paste this in:

    #!/usr/bin/python3
    from libpurecool.dyson import DysonAccount
    
    dyson_account = DysonAccount("email","password","lang")
    logged = dyson_account.login()
    
    if not logged:
        print('Unable to login to Dyson account')
        exit(1)
    devices = dyson_account.devices()
    for device in devices:
        print(device.serial);
        print(device.name);
        print(device.credentials);
        print(" ");

1. Open your DysonLink app and stare at the welcome screen 😃
2. python3 whatever.py
3. Cross your fingers 🤞 and hope it works.

⚠️ Don’t try to loging in too fast/spam the script or you’ll get IP blocked by Dyson I’ve also noticed that I’m getting immediately denied login if I’m going through a VPN

2. Using an Android phone

You can probably do this with an iOS device, but I haven’t tested (https://stackoverflow.com/a/8512455)

1. Download the Packet Capture app from Google Playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.greyshirts.sslcapture&hl=en&gl=US)
2. Open Dyson Link and leave it running in the background
3. Run the Packet Capture app, allow it to create a VPN if you’re prompted
4. Hit the play button with the 1 and choose the Dyson Link app
5. Switch to the Dyson Link app, it will probably do a quick refresh of the welcome page
6. Switch back to Packet Capture and stop capturing
7. Look through the captured packets for something like this:

I’ll work on the new 2FA over the weekend. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
