The initial goal of this library was to be able to integrate the SimpleSolutions ConnAir gateway with Home Assistant <https://www.home-assistant.io>
. This gateway is sadly not sold anymore but there are other alternatives like the Intertechno Gateway or the ConnAir Emulator script <https://github.com/Phunkafizer/RaspyRFM/blob/master/connair.py>
that can be used on a Raspberry Pi equipped with a 433MHz radio like the RaspyRFM from Seegel Systeme <https://www.seegel-systeme.de/produkt/raspyrfm-ii/>
_.
You can find the related integration documentation here:
RaspyRFM Home Assistant component documentation <https://www.home-assistant.io/components/switch.raspyrfm/>
_
:code:pip install raspyrfm-client
For a basic example have a look at the example.py <https://github.com/markusressel/raspyrfm-client/blob/master/example_simple.py>
_ file.
If you need more info have a look at the documentation <http://raspyrfm-client.readthedocs.io/>
_ which should help.
Import required modules ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: python
from raspyrfm_client import RaspyRFMClient from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.controlunit.actions import Action from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.controlunit.controlunit_constants import ControlUnitModel from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.gateway.manufacturer.gateway_constants import GatewayModel from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.manufacturer_constants import Manufacturer
Create the :code:RaspyRFMClient
object
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Get a client instance by calling:
.. code-block:: python
rfm_client = RaspyRFMClient()
Create a :code:Gateway
instance
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can let the library search automatically for gateways available in LAN using:
.. code-block:: python
gateways = rfm_client.search()
This will return a list of Gateways that can later be used to send signals to.
To get a quick overview of what gateway manufacturers and models are supported call:
.. code-block:: python
rfm_client.list_supported_gateways()
Create a gateway instance with the specified :code:IP
and :code:Port
of your Gateway by using:
.. code-block:: python
gateway = rfm_client.get_gateway(Manufacturer.SEEGEL_SYSTEME, GatewayModel.RASPYRFM, "192.168.2.10", 9876)
or
.. code-block:: python
gateway = rfm_client.get_gateway(Manufacturer.SEEGEL_SYSTEME, GatewayModel.RASPYRFM, "192.168.2.10") # defaults to 49880 or the gateway implementations default
Get a :code:ControlUnit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ControlUnits are the devices that receive the RC signals sent using the gateway, f.ex. a power outlet.
To get a quick overview of what ControlUnits manufacturers and models are supported call:
.. code-block:: python
rfm_client.list_supported_controlunits()
which will give you an indented list of supported manufacturers and their supported models similar to this:
.. code-block:: text
Elro RC3500-A IP44 DE AB440S AB440D 200W AB440D 300W AB440ID AB440IS AB440L AB440SC AB440WD BAT RC AAA1000-A IP44 Outdoor Brennenstuhl RCS 1000 N Comfort RCS 1044 N Comfort Intertek Model 1919361 [...]
To generate codes for a device you first have to get an instance of its implementation like this:
.. code-block:: python
brennenstuhl_rcs1000 = rfm_client.get_controlunit(manufacturer_constants.BRENNENSTUHL, manufacturer_constants.RCS_1000_N_COMFORT)
The parameters of the :code:get_controlunit()
method always need to be an enum value of the specified type.
You can get an enum constant by its name though using:
.. code-block:: python
manufacturer = Manufacturer("Intertechno") model = ControlUnitModel("IT-1500")
:code:ControlUnit
channel configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Before you can generate codes with your shiny new gateway and :code:ControlUnit
implementations you have to specify a channel configuration for your :code:ControlUnit
. These configurations can be very different for every device. The best way to know the correct way of specifying the channel configuration for a specific device is to look at the source code (yes I know...) or by trial and error (even worse). A good :code:ControlUnit
implementation should tell you how the configuration should look like when specifying it in a wrong way.
However all configurations are a keyed dictionary. So in general there are two ways of passing the channel configuration argument. One (inline):
.. code-block:: python
device.set_channel_config(value1=1, value2=2)
Two (as a dictionary):
.. code-block:: python
device.set_channel_config(**{
'value1': 1,
'value2': 2
})
Note that the keys always need to be a :code:string
.
The second one is the recommended one as it will often result in a much more readable source code.
For our Brennenstuhl device it would look like this:
.. code-block:: python
brennenstuhl_rcs1000.set_channel_config(**{
'1': True,
'2': True,
'3': True,
'4': True,
'5': True,
'CH': 'A'
})
Generate action codes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now that you have a properly set up :code:ControlUnit
you can generate codes for it's supported actions by using an :code:Action
enum constant that you imported previously.
To get a list of supported actions for a :code:ControlUnit
call:
.. code-block:: python
brennenstuhl_rcs1000.get_supported_actions()
and generate a code for one of them using your :code:Gateway
instance:
.. code-block:: python
code = gateway.generate_code(brennenstuhl_rcs1000, Action.ON)
Send the code to the :code:RaspyRFM
module
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To send a code for your device of choice you can combine the objects in this call:
.. code-block:: python
rfm_client.send(gateway, brennenstuhl_rcs1000, Action.ON)
This will generate a code specific to the passed in gateway implementation and send it to it's host address immediately after.
The :code:raspyrfm-client
library is designed so you can implement custom devices in a (hopefully) very easy way.
All :code:ControlUnit
implementations are located in the :code:/device_implementations/controlunit/manufacturer/
module and implement the base class :code:Device
that can be found in :code:/device_implementations/controlunit/base.py
.
ControlUnit
To create a new :code:ControlUnit
implementation for a new manufacturer and model create a new subdirectory for your manufacturer and a python file for your model:
.. code-block::
───raspyrfm_client
│ │ client.py
│ │
│ └───device
│ │ actions.py
│ │ base.py
│ │
│ └───manufacturer
│ │ manufacturer_constants.py
│ │
│ ├───intertek
│ │ Model1919361.py
│ │
│ ├───rev
│ │ Ritter.py
│ │ Telecontrol.py
│ │
│ ├───universal
│ │ HX2262Compatible.py
│ │
│ └───yourmanufacturer
│ yourmodel.py
──────────────────────────────────────────
ControlUnit
Now the basic implementation of your :code:ControlUnit
should looks like this:
.. code-block:: python
from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.controlunit.actions import Action
from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.controlunit.base import ControlUnit
class YourModel(ControlUnit):
def __init__(self):
from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.manufacturer_constants import Manufacturer
from raspyrfm_client.device_implementations.controlunit.controlunit_constants import ControlUnitModel
super().__init__(Manufacturer.YourManufacturer, ControlUnitModel.YourModel)
def get_channel_config_args(self):
return {}
def get_pulse_data(self, action: Action):
return [[0, 0], [0, 0]], 0, 0
def get_supported_actions(self) -> [str]:
return [Action.ON]
Most importantly you have to call the :code:super().__init__
method like shown. This will ensure that your implementation is found by the :code:RaspyRFMClient
and you can get an instance of your device using :code:rfm_client.get_controlunit()
as shown before.
If your manufacturer does not exist yet create a new enum constant in the :code:manufacturer_constants.py
file and use its value in your :code:__init__
.
Do the same thing for your model name in the :code:controlunit_constants.py
file.
You also have to implement all abstract methods from the :code:Device
class. Have a look at it's documentation to get a sense of what those methods are all about.
After you have implemented all methods you are good to go!
Just call :code:rfm_client.reload_implementation_classes()
and :code:rfm_client.list_supported_controlunits()
to check if your implementation is listed.
If everything looks good you can use your implementation like any other one.
To prevent the RaspyRFM client from importing your half baked or base class implementation just include a class field like this:
.. code-block:: python
class YourModel(ControlUnit): DISABLED = True
