lametric-py 1.1.0

No project description provided

lametric-py

Async Python client for LaMetric devices and the LaMetric cloud API.

The package wraps the documented local device API, notification models, and the LaMetric Streaming Protocol (LMSP) used by LaMetric SKY devices.

Features

• Async local device client for display, audio, Bluetooth, apps, notifications, and streaming
• Async cloud client for account and device lookup
• Typed dataclass models for API payloads and responses
• Notification builders for text, goal, and chart frames
• LMSP helpers for starting a stream and sending RGB888 UDP frames

Requirements

• Python 3.14+
• A LaMetric device on the local network for device API features
• A LaMetric developer token for cloud API features

Installation

This repository is currently set up as a source install.

git clone <repository-url>
cd lametric-py
uv sync --dev

If you prefer pip:

pip install -e .

Quick Start

Local Device Client

import asyncio

from lametric import LaMetricDevice


async def main() -> None:
	async with LaMetricDevice(host="192.168.1.42", api_key="device-api-key") as device:
		state = await device.state
		print(state.name)


asyncio.run(main())

Send a Notification

import asyncio

from lametric import (
	BuiltinSound,
	LaMetricDevice,
	Notification,
	NotificationData,
	NotificationPriority,
	NotificationSound,
	SimpleFrame,
)


async def main() -> None:
	notification = Notification(
		priority=NotificationPriority.INFO,
		model=NotificationData(
			frames=[SimpleFrame(text="Deploy finished")],
			sound=BuiltinSound(id=NotificationSound.POSITIVE1),
		),
	)

	async with LaMetricDevice(host="192.168.1.42", api_key="device-api-key") as device:
		notification_id = await device.send_notification(notification)
		print(notification_id)


asyncio.run(main())

Query the Cloud API

import asyncio

from lametric import LaMetricCloud


async def main() -> None:
	async with LaMetricCloud(token="developer-token") as cloud:
		user = await cloud.current_user
		devices = await cloud.devices
		print(user.email, len(devices))


asyncio.run(main())

Streaming Example

import asyncio

from lametric import (
	CanvasFillType,
	CanvasPostProcess,
	CanvasPostProcessType,
	CanvasRenderMode,
	LaMetricDevice,
	StreamConfig,
)


async def main() -> None:
	config = StreamConfig(
		fill_type=CanvasFillType.SCALE,
		render_mode=CanvasRenderMode.PIXEL,
		post_process=CanvasPostProcess(type=CanvasPostProcessType.NONE),
	)

	async with LaMetricDevice(host="192.168.1.42", api_key="device-api-key") as device:
		session_id = await device.start_stream(config)
		if session_id is None:
			return

		stream_state = await device.stream_state
		frame = bytes(
			[255, 0, 0]
			* (stream_state.canvas.pixel.size.width * stream_state.canvas.pixel.size.height)
		)
		await device.send_stream_data(session_id, frame)
		await device.stop_stream()


asyncio.run(main())

Public API

The package re-exports its public surface from lametric.

• Clients: LaMetricDevice, LaMetricCloud
• Exceptions: LaMetricApiError, LaMetricConnectionError, LaMetricAuthenticationError, LaMetricUnsupportedError
• Models: apps, notifications, state payloads, stream config/state types
• Enums: notification, screensaver, display, and streaming constants

Documentation

• docs/usage.md for the local device and cloud clients
• docs/streaming.md for LMSP details and the packet format used by send_stream_data
• docs/development.md for local development, linting, typing, and tests

Development

Useful commands:

uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format .
uv run mypy .
uv run pytest

The CI workflow runs Ruff, mypy, pytest, coverage export, and semantic-release.
