What is cosalette?

cosalette lets you build IoT-to-MQTT bridge daemons in Python with minimal boilerplate. You define devices (telemetry pollers or command handlers), register hardware adapters, and the framework handles MQTT wiring, structured logging, health reporting, error publishing, and graceful lifecycle management.

Key Features

• Declarative device registration — @app.command(), @app.device(), and @app.telemetry() decorators (guide)
• Hexagonal architecture — protocol-based ports with swappable adapters (concept)
• Structured JSON logging — per-device context, configurable levels (concept)
• Health & heartbeats — LWT crash detection, periodic JSON heartbeats, per-device availability (concept)
• Structured error publishing — domain errors published to MQTT with type mapping (concept)
• Pydantic settings — type-safe configuration from env vars and .env files (guide)
• CLI for free — --dry-run, --version, --log-level, --env-file via Typer (reference)
• Test-friendly — MockMqttClient, FakeClock, pytest fixtures included (guide)

Quick Example

import cosalette

app = cosalette.App(name="weather2mqtt", version="0.1.0")

@app.telemetry("sensor", interval=5.0)
async def sensor() -> dict[str, object]:
    return {"temperature": 21.5, "humidity": 55.0}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
