Inmarsat FieldEdge Utilities

Inmarsat FieldEdge project supports Internet of Things (IoT) using satellite communications technology.

This library available on PyPI provides:

• A common logger format and wrapping file facility.
• A repeating timer utility (thread) that can be started, stopped, restarted, and interval changed.
• A simplified mqtt client that automatically connects (by default to a local fieldedge-broker).
• Helper functions for managing files and path on different OS.
• An interface for the FieldEdge hostpipe service for sending host commands from a Docker container, with request/result captured in a logfile.
• Helper functions ip_interfaces for finding and validating IP interfaces and addresses/subnets.
• A defined set of common protocols used for packet analysis and satellite data traffic optimisation.
• Helpers for tag assignment of class definitions to expose properties for MQTT transport between microservices, converting between PEP and JSON style.
• Helpers for managing serial ports on a host system.
• Utilities for converting **timestamp**s between unix and ISO 8601
