🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install gecko-iot-client

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from gecko_iot_client import GeckoIotClient
from gecko_iot_client.transporters.mqtt import MqttTransporter

async def main():
    # Create MQTT transporter with your AWS IoT endpoint
    transporter = MqttTransporter(
        endpoint="wss://your-endpoint.iot.region.amazonaws.com/mqtt",
        device_id="your-device-id"
    )
    
    # Initialize client
    client = GeckoIotClient(idd="your-device-id", transporter=transporter)
    
    async with client:
        # Get all temperature control zones
        temp_zones = client.get_zones_by_type(ZoneType.TEMPERATURE_CONTROL_ZONE)
        
        for zone in temp_zones:
            print(f"Zone {zone.name}: {zone.temperature}°C (target: {zone.target_temperature}°C)")
        
        # Control lighting
        lighting_zones = client.get_zones_by_type(ZoneType.LIGHTING_ZONE)
        if lighting_zones:
            light = lighting_zones[0]
            await light.activate()  # Turn on
            await light.set_color(255, 0, 0)  # Set to red

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

🏗️ Architecture

Zone Types

The client supports three main zone types:

• 🌡️ Temperature Control Zones: Heater and temperature management
• 💡 Lighting Zones: LED lighting control with color support
• 🌊 Flow Zones: Pump and circulation control

Event System

def on_temperature_change(zone, old_temp, new_temp):
    print(f"Temperature changed from {old_temp}°C to {new_temp}°C")

client.register_zone_callbacks(lambda zone_name: on_temperature_change)

🏷️ Versioning Strategy

This project follows Semantic Versioning (SemVer) combined with PEP 440 for Python compatibility.

Version Format

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE]

• MAJOR: Breaking changes (incompatible API changes)
• MINOR: New features (backward-compatible functionality)
• PATCH: Bug fixes (backward-compatible fixes)

Git Tag Format

All releases use the v prefix in git tags:

# Release versions
v1.0.0          # Major release
v1.1.0          # Minor release  
v1.1.1          # Patch release

# Pre-release versions
v1.0.0-alpha.1  # Alpha release
v1.0.0-beta.1   # Beta release
v1.0.0-rc.1     # Release candidate

Release Lifecycle

Stage	Git Tag Example	PyPI Version	Purpose
Alpha	v0.1.0-alpha.1	0.1.0a1	Early development, internal testing
Beta	v0.1.0-beta.1	0.1.0b1	Feature complete, external testing
Release Candidate	v0.1.0-rc.1	0.1.0rc1	Final validation before release
Stable Release	v0.1.0	0.1.0	Production ready
Patch Release	v0.1.1	0.1.1	Bug fixes only
Minor Release	v0.2.0	0.2.0	New features, backward compatible
Major Release	v1.0.0	1.0.0	Breaking changes

Current Development Phase

🚧 Alpha Stage - The project is currently in alpha development:

• API Stability: ⚠️ APIs may change without notice
• Production Use: ❌ Not recommended until v1.0.0
• Testing: ✅ Suitable for development and testing
• Feedback: 🎯 Highly appreciated via GitHub Issues

Version Detection

Versions are automatically determined from git tags using setuptools-scm:

import gecko_iot_client
print(gecko_iot_client.__version__)  # e.g., "0.1.0a2.post1"

Version Components:

• 0.1.0a2 - Alpha version 2 of release 0.1.0
• .post1 - 1 commit after the tagged release
• +dirty - Local uncommitted changes (development builds)

Release Process

1. Development happens on the develop branch
2. Tagging creates releases: git tag v0.1.0-alpha.3 && git push origin v0.1.0-alpha.3
3. GitHub Actions automatically builds and publishes to PyPI
4. Documentation is automatically updated and deployed
