Installation

Basic Installation

pip install circuitnotion

With GPIO Support

pip install circuitnotion[gpio]

Full Installation

pip install circuitnotion[gpio,sensors]

Quick Start

import asyncio
from circuitnotion import CN, SensorValue

# Initialize
CN.begin(
    host="your-server.com",
    port=443,
    path="/ws",
    api_key="your-api-key-here",
    microcontroller_name="RaspberryPi-01"
)

# Map a device (relay on GPIO 17)
CN.map_digital_device("GT-001", 17, "Living Room Light")

# Add a temperature sensor
def read_temp():
    # Your sensor reading code here
    return SensorValue(25.5, "°C")

CN.add_temperature_sensor("TEMP-001", "Living Room", 5.0, read_temp)

# Run
asyncio.run(CN.run())

Examples

    try:
        humidity = dht_device.humidity
        return SensorValue(humidity, "%")
    except RuntimeError:
        return SensorValue(0.0, "%")

async def main():
    CN.begin("server.com", 443, "/ws", "api-key", "Kitchen-Pi")
    
    # Add sensors (read every 5 seconds)
    CN.add_temperature_sensor("DHT22-T", "Kitchen", 5.0, read_temperature)
    CN.add_humidity_sensor("DHT22-H", "Kitchen", 5.0, read_humidity)

def read_temperature():
    with open(device_file, 'r') as f:
        lines = f.readlines()
        temp_pos = lines[1].find('t=')
        temp_c = float(lines[1][temp_pos+2:]) / 1000.0
    return SensorValue(temp_c, "°C")

async def main():
    CN.begin("server.com", 443, "/ws", "api-key", "Garage-Pi")

motion_detected = False

def pir_callback(channel):
    global motion_detected
    motion_detected = True

def read_motion():
    global motion_detected
    value = 1.0 if motion_detected else 0.0
    motion_detected = False
    return SensorValue(value, "boolean")

async def main():
    GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
    GPIO.setup(PIR_PIN, GPIO.IN)
    GPIO.add_event_detect(PIR_PIN, GPIO.RISING, callback=pir_callback)
