Features

• Supports custom automations and devices
• Asynchronous scheduling of tasks
• Configuration via YAML files
• Lightweight and portable

Installation

Micro Smart Hub is available as a Python package and can be installed using pip:

pip install microsmarthub

Running the Scheduler Application

To run the Micro Smart Hub scheduler, use the micro-smart-server command-line application. This application reads configuration files and manages the execution of scheduled tasks.

Usage

micro-smart-server [options]

Options

• -s, --schedule: Path to the schedule YAML file. Default is ./schedule.yaml.
• -d, --devices: Directories containing device modules. Default is the current directory.
• -a, --automations: Directories containing automation modules. Default is the current directory.
• -c, --config: Path to the configuration YAML file. Default is ./config.yaml.

Example

'''bash micro-smart-server -s ./schedule.yaml -d ./devices ./extra_devices -a ./automations ./extra_automations -c ./config.yaml '''

Developing with Micro Smart Hub

Extending with New Automations

To create a new automation, inherit from the Automation class and implement the run method:

from micro_smart_hub.registry import register_class
from micro_smart_hub.automation import Automation


@register_class
class MyAutomation(Automation):
    def run(self, action, parameters, devices):
        print(f"Running {action} with parameters {parameters} on devices {devices}")

Creating New Devices

To create a new device, inherit from the MicroDevice class and implement the required methods:

from micro_smart_hub.registry import register_class
from micro_smart_hub.device import MicroDevice
import requests


@register_class
class MyIoTSwitch(IoTSwitch):
    def __init__(self, definition=None):
        super().__init__(definition)
        self.device_id = self.definition.get("device_id", "default_id")

    def load_info(self):
        response = requests.get(f"http://{self.device_id}/info")
        self.info = response.json().get('device', {})

    def load_state(self):
        response = requests.get(f"http://{self.device_id}/state")
        self.status = response.json().get('status', {})

    @property
    def on(self):
        return self._on

    @on.setter
    def on(self, value):
        if value:
            requests.post(f"http://{self.device_id}/turn_on")
        else:
            requests.post(f"http://{self.device_id}/turn_off")
        self._on = value

    def off(self):
        self.on = False

Configuration

Configuration is done via YAML files. Define your schedule, devices, and automations in separate YAML files.

Schedule Example

FakeAutomation:
  schedule:
    monday:
      - time: 6       # Without minutes (6:00)
        action: on
      - time: 18.30   # With minutes
        action: off
  devices:
    - FakeSwitch

Irrigation:
  schedule:
    monday:
      - time: "6:05"    # With minutes but as a string
        action: on
      - time: 18      # Without minutes (18:00)
        action: off
  devices:
    - Irrigation_Pump

Device Configuration Example (config.yaml)

Define your devices and their parameters in a config.yaml file. Here is an example configuration:

Pump:
  class: SwitchBox
  parameters:
    url: 192.168.0.3

Garden Light:
  class: SwitchBox
  parameters:
    url: 192.168.0.197      

SmartIrrigation:
  class: Irrigation
  parameters:
    latitude: 12.24541322
    longitude: 32.32243421

# Pump: An instance of SwitchBox with a specific IP address.
# Garden Light: Another SwitchBox with a different IP.
# SmartIrrigation: An instance of Irrigation with specific geolocation parameters.
