WolkAbout Python Connector library for connecting devices to WolkAbout IoT Platform.

Supported device communication protocol(s):

• JsonSingleReferenceProtocol

Prerequisite

• Python 3

Installation

pip3 install wolk-connect

Installing from source

This repository must be cloned from the command line using:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Wolkabout/WolkConnect-Python.git

Install dependencies by invoking pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Install the package by running:

py setup.py install

Example Usage

Establishing connection with WolkAbout IoT platform

Create a device on WolkAbout IoT platform by importing simple-example-manifest.json.
This manifest fits wolk_example.py and demonstrates the sending of a temperature sensor reading.

import wolk

# Setup the device credentials which you received
# when the device was created on the platform
device = wolk.Device(
    key="device_key",
    password="some_password"
)

# Pass your device and server information
wolk_device = wolk.WolkConnect(
    device,
    host="api-demo.wolkabout.com",
    port=8883,
    ca_cert=".." + os.sep + ".." + os.sep + "wolk" + os.sep + "ca.crt"
)

wolk_device.connect()

Publishing sensor readings

wolk_device.add_sensor_reading("T", 26.93)

Data publish strategy

Stored sensor readings are pushed to WolkAbout IoT platform on demand by calling:

wolk_device.publish()

Disconnecting from the platform

wolk_device.disconnect()

Additional functionality

WolkConnect-Python library has integrated additional features which can perform full WolkAbout IoT platform potential. Read more about full feature set example HERE.
