Eurydike 0.1.8

Eurydike is a simple event detection. Reacts to above-threshold, below-thershold, and outside value-band.

Εὐρυδίκη/Eurydike [wiki] is a simple event detection. Reacts to above-threshold, below-threshold, and outside value-band.

Pelops Overview

Eurydike is part of the collection of mqtt based microservices pelops. An overview on the microservice architecture and examples can be found at (http://gitlab.com/pelops/pelops).

For Users

Installation Core-Functionality

Prerequisites for the core functionality are:

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt pyyaml pelops

Install via pip:

sudo pip3 install eurydike

To update to the latest version add --upgrade as prefix to the pip3 line above.

Install via gitlab (might need additional packages):

git clone [e-mail]:pelops/eurydike.git
cd eurydike
sudo python3 setup.py install

This will install the following shell scripts: * eurydike

The script cli arguments are: * ‘-c’/’–config’ - config file (mandatory) * ‘-v’ - verbose output (optional) * ‘–version’ - show the version number and exit

YAML-Config

A yaml [1] file must contain four root blocks: * mqtt - mqtt-address, mqtt-port, and path to credentials file credentials-file (a file consisting of two entries: mqtt-user, mqtt-password) * logger - which log level and which file to be used * eventdetectors - parameters for the controller and the embedded pid

mqtt:
    mqtt-address: localhost
    mqtt-port: 1883
    credentials-file: ~/credentials.yaml
    log-level: INFO

logger:
    log-level: DEBUG  # DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
    log-file: test_eurydike.log

For Developers

Getting Started

The project consists of two main modules:

• eventdetectionmanager - manages all configured event detectors

• abstracteventdetector - base class for all event detectors

Todos

• … ?

Misc

The code is written for python3 (and tested with python 3.5 on an Raspberry Pi Zero with Raspbian Stretch).

Merge requests / bug reports are always welcome.

[1]

Currently, pyyaml is yaml 1.1 compliant. In pyyaml On/Off and Yes/No are automatically converted to True/False. This is an unwanted behavior and deprecated in yaml 1.2. In copreus this autoconversion is removed. Thus, On/Off and Yes/No are read from the yaml file as strings (see module baseclasses.myconfigtools).
