inet-control 0.1.0

Async Python library for Busch-Jaeger iNet Radio devices

Busch-Radio iNet Python Library

Control and monitor Busch-Jaeger iNet Radios from Python, including live state updates. The radios use a custom UDP-Protocol for communication, which this library implements. Tested on Busch-Radio iNet 8216 v01 on Firmware Version 02.06 01.

Quickstart

1. Install dependencies

pip install .

2. Discover radios on your network

inet-control discover

Sample output:

Discovering radios... (waiting for responses)
Name: RADIO-LIVINGROOM
IP: 192.168.1.100
Power: ON
Volume: 6
Playing mode: STATION
Station: 1 Example FM
Available: True

3. Control a radio from Python

import asyncio
from inet_control.manager import RadioManager

async def main():
	manager = RadioManager()
	await manager.start()
	# Discover radios (optional, for listing)
	await manager.discover()

	# Connect to a specific radio by IP
    # This waits for the initial state connectivity check
    radio = await manager.get("192.168.1.100")

    # Turn it on
    await radio.turn_on()

	# Set volume to 6
	await radio.set_volume(6)
	await radio.wait_for_update(timeout=2)

	print(f"Radio {radio.name} is now ON, volume {radio.volume}")
	await manager.stop()

asyncio.run(main())
