Python library to provide a realiable communication link with LightWaveRF lights and switches.
Either clone this resposition and run python setup.py install
, or install from pip using pip install lightwave
.
This library makes use of the public API provided by lightwave that can be found here: https://api.lightwaverf.com/lighting_power.html
The library supports the following functions:
turn_on_light(device_id, name)
turn_on_switch(device_id, name)
turn_on_with_brightness(device_id, name, brightness)
turn_off(device_id, name)
Where:
- device_id takes the form R#D# where R# is the room number and D# is the device number.
- name is the text that will be displayed on the hub.
- brightness is a value from 0 (off) to 255 (full on).
Initialise a link to the hub by passing in the IP address required. Then call a method on the object to modify the device. The first time a switch is turned on or off the device will attempt to pair to the hub. This should then show a message on your WiFi Link asking you to pair the device. You have 12 seconds to push the button on the WiFi Link to accept this.
