Connect to SpaceX Starlink

Starlink Python

A Python library for loading data from a SpaceX Starlink satellite.

The goal is to be a simple interface for Starlink. It builds upon the work done on starlink-grpc-toolsto connect to Starlink from Python (and I'm also using it to understand gRPC, which I've never used before this).

I'm writing this in order to create a Home Assistant component for Starlink. I'll update the README when I have that started.

I currently have the first iteration of Starlink satellites and am developing with this. Feel free to create an issue if you have a second iteration and want to help add support for this.

Example

The goal is to write an interface that is friendly for users and that abstracts the connection details. For example:

from spacex.starlink import StarlinkDish

def is_my_dish_obstructed() -> bool:
    # Using a context manager automatically connects
    with StarlinkDish() as dish:
        return dish.status.obstructed
