python-MotionMount 2.2.0

Control your MotionMount Signature TVM7675 Pro using Python

Introduction

This Python module allows control of the TVM 7675 Pro (SIGNATURE) series of MotionMount's from Vogel's Products.

Getting Started

This module can be installed using the following command: pip install python-MotionMount

In your Python code you can then use the module as follows:

import asyncio
import motionmount

ip = "MMF8A55F.local." # Can also be "169.254.13.16" or similar
port = 23 # The best way to get the port number is using zeroconf, but it's likely '23'

async def main():
    mm = MotionMount(ip, port)

    try:
        await mm.connect()
        await mm.go_to_preset(1)

        print(f"Extension: {mm.extension}")

        name = await mm.get_name()
        print(f"The name is: \"{name}\"")

        await mm.go_to_position(50, -50)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Something bad happened: {e}")
    finally:
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        await mm.disconnect()


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

To get the IP address of the MotionMount you can use pyzeroconf or you can use a manual tool like dns-sd in the macOS Terminal or a GUI tool like Discovery (macOS) or Bonjour Browser (Windows)

A simple example using pyzeroconf is included in the examples folder.

If you want to run the examples from a clone of the repository you can use a command similar to: PYTHONPATH=./src/motionmount python examples/simple.py
