• retrieve sensor data from garden devices

Getting started

There are two ways of installing this client. The first one using pip:

% pip install --user bioto-client

The second option is useful when developing the client. Git clone the project and use make for installation. This will setup a virtual python environment managed via poetry.

% make install
% poetry shell

Find a garden

Gardens can be found by name, the command to do this is:

% bioto-client search-garden {name}

Subscribe to a garden

To gain access to the data of this garden you need to subscribe to this garden using its ID:

% bioto-client subscribe-garden {garden_id}

This will create a subscription request which only the mainter(s) can approve. To check the state of your subscription see:

% bioto-client subscriptions

Read device data

Reading a device is done by device ID, these can be found via the garden command. Note that a garden might contain multiple devices.

To get the latest hourly readings for the last 24h issue the following command:

% bioto-client device {device_id}

To get these readings for a sepecific date apply a date option. The following formats are allowed: [%Y-%m-%d | %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S | %H:%M:%S]:

% bioto-client device {device_id} --date={date}

And to limit or increase the number of hours returned add the hours option:

% bioto-client device {device_id} --hours={hours_limit}

Improve the client

If you want to improve the client or add something which you think is missing to the project you can either open an issue or develop the feature yourself and open a pull request with your changes.

To get started clone this project and create a branch. Now fix the bug or create the feature you want and write some tests for it to prove it works. This can be done by executing:

% make check

Note This will run both tests and linters, use make test when you're in red - green - refactor mode

When the checks are all passing, please open a PR
