iot-daemonize 0.1.0

A small framework for IOT xyz2mqtt daemons

iot-daemon

A daemon framework for handling different xyz2mqtt applications.

Usage

Using

import iot_daemonize
import iot_daemonize.configuration as configuration

it is possible to configure the framework.

The class configuration.Configuration uses command line arguments and a configuration file. The configuration file overrides the command line arguments.

A default configuration for MQTT services is provided as MqttDaemonConfiguration.

It can be used as follows:

config = configuration.MqttDaemonConfiguration(program ='example2mqtt', description ='Send data to MQTT broker')
# the following line will parse the command line arguments
config.parse_args()
# the following line will parse the configuration file provided as commmand line argument
config.parse_config(config.config)
# print the internal state of configuration values
print(config._config_values)

The framework services can be initialized based on the configuration:

# Initialize MQTT and multi-threading daemon
iot_daemonize.init(config, mqtt = True, daemonize = True)

# Add tasks to the daemon, must be declared as functions
iot_daemonize.daemon.add_task(task1)
iot_daemonize.daemon.add_task(task2)

# Run the framework, this will start the MQTT client and the daemon (for HTTP see below)
iot_daemonize.run()

To run an HTTP server, use the following code:

from bottle import run

def http_server(stop):
    run(server=iot_daemonize.http_server)

# Initialize HTTP and multi-threading daemon
iot_daemonize.init(config, http = True, daemonize = True)

# Add HTTP server task to the daemon
iot_daemonize.daemon.add_task(http_server)

# Run the framework, this will start the HTTP server and the daemon
iot_daemonize.run()
