DucoPy: A Python library and CLI for full control over DucoBox ventilation units with a Connectivity Board. Retrieve system info, manage configurations, control nodes, and monitor logs easily from your Python environment or command line.

DucoPy

DucoPy is a Python library and CLI tool that allows for full control of a DucoBox ventilation unit equipped with a DucoBox Connectivity Board. Using DucoPy, you can retrieve information, control settings, and monitor logs of your DucoBox system directly from your Python environment or command line.

Features

• Retrieve API information from the DucoBox system
• Get details about available modules, nodes, actions, and logs
• Interact with specific nodes and configure them
• Control actions available on the DucoBox unit
• Output information in a structured or JSON format

Installation

The easiest way to install DucoPy is through pip:

pip install ducopy

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install manually:

git clone https://github.com/sikerdebaard/ducopy.git
cd ducopy
pip install .

Additional Requirements

This project uses Typer for the CLI, Loguru for logging, Rich for pretty-printing, and Pydantic for data validation. These will be installed automatically with the above command.

Using the DucoPy Facade in Python

The DucoPy Python class provides a simple interface for interacting with the DucoBox API. Below is an example of how to use it:

Example

from ducopy.ducopy import DucoPy
from pydantic import HttpUrl

# Initialize the DucoPy client with the base URL of your DucoBox
base_url = "https://your-ducobox-ip"  # Replace with the actual IP
ducopy = DucoPy(base_url=base_url)

# Retrieve API information
api_info = ducopy.get_api_info()
print(api_info)

# Get nodes
nodes = ducopy.get_nodes()
print(nodes.model_dump(mode='json'))

# Retrieve information for a specific node
node_id = 1
node_info = ducopy.get_node_info(node_id=node_id)
print(node_info.model_dump(mode='json'))

# Close the DucoPy client connection when done
ducopy.close()

Available Methods

Here is a list of the main methods available in the DucoPy facade:

• get_api_info() -> dict: Retrieve general API information.
• get_info(module: str | None = None, submodule: str | None = None, parameter: str | None = None) -> dict: Retrieve information about modules and parameters.
• get_nodes() -> NodesResponse: Retrieve a list of all nodes in the DucoBox system.
• get_node_info(node_id: int) -> NodeInfo: Get details about a specific node by its ID.
• get_config_node(node_id: int) -> ConfigNodeResponse: Get configuration settings for a specific node.
• get_action(action: str | None = None) -> dict: Retrieve information about a specific action.
• get_actions_node(node_id: int, action: str | None = None) -> ActionsResponse: Retrieve available actions for a specific node.
• get_logs() -> dict: Retrieve the system logs from the DucoBox.

All methods return a dictionary or a Pydantic model instance. Use .model_dump(mode='json') on Pydantic models to get JSON-serializable output if needed.

Using the CLI Client

DucoPy also provides a command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with your DucoBox system.

CLI Commands

After installing DucoPy, you can access the CLI using the ducopy command:

ducopy --help

This will display a list of available commands.

Example Commands

1. Retrieve API information

   ducopy get-api-info --base-url https://your-ducobox-ip
   

2. Get details about nodes

   ducopy get-nodes --base-url https://your-ducobox-ip
   

3. Get information for a specific node

   ducopy get-node-info --base-url https://your-ducobox-ip --node-id 1
   

4. Get actions available for a node

   ducopy get-actions-node --base-url https://your-ducobox-ip --node-id 1
   

5. Retrieve system logs

   ducopy get-logs --base-url https://your-ducobox-ip
   

Output Formatting

All commands support an optional --output-format argument to specify the output format (pretty or json):

ducopy get-nodes --base-url https://your-ducobox-ip --output-format json

• pretty (default): Formats the output in a structured, readable style.
• json: Outputs raw JSON data, which can be useful for further processing or debugging.

Logging Level

To set the logging level, use the --logging-level option, which accepts values like DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL.

ducopy --logging-level DEBUG get-nodes --base-url https://your-ducobox-ip
