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

Supported device communication protocols:

• JSON_SINGLE
• JSON_PROTOCOL

Note: Firmware update is currently not available for JSON_PROTOCOL

Prerequisite

• Python 3

Installation

pip3 install wolk-connect

Installing from source

Clone this repository from the command line using:

git clone 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-deviceTemplate.json.
This template 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
# Select formatting protocol: JSON_SINGLE (default) or JSON_PROTOCOL
# defaults to secure connection to Demo instance - comment out host, port and ca_cert
wolk_device = wolk.WolkConnect(
    device,
    protocol=wolk.Protocol.JSON_SINGLE
    host="api-demo.wolkabout.com",
    port=8883,
    ca_cert="path/to/ca.crt"
)

wolk_device.connect()

Adding 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.
