Control your Sisyphus Kinetic Art Table
from Python 3.6 with asyncio
!
This initial release is mainly targeting the functionality needed for basic integrations with home automation systems such as Home Assistant:
- Status queries (playing/paused/current playlist/current/track/brightness/speed)
- Play controls (play/pause/shuffle/loop/set playlist/set track)
- Table controls (movement speed, LED brightness)
To find the IP addresses of all tables on your local network. This is a very naive search; it assumes your subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0
:
from sisyphus_control import Table ip_addrs = await Table.find_table_ips()
Once you know the IP address, connect to the table:
async with await Table.connect(ip_addr) as Table: # Do stuff here
Register for state change notifications:
table.add_listener(my_listener)
In addition to a bunch of properties for querying the current state of the table, Table
has several methods that
allow simple control:
await table.set_brightness(1.0) # Set maximum LED brightness await table.set_speed(0.5) # Set half speed await table.play() # Resume playing (if not already playing)
Playlist
and Track
objects represent playlists and tracks, respectively. The following code will start playing
the Default Playlist, beginning at the track named "Hep" (note that neither playlists nor tracks are required to be
uniquely named):
default_playlist = table.get_playlists_named("Default Playlist")[0] hep_track = default_playlist.get_tracks_named("Hep")[0] await hep_track.play()
The following features would be reasonable to include; I'll happily accept pull requests:
- Playlist editing
- Upload tracks to table
- Track thumbnail rendering
- Table administration (wifi settings, etc.)
- Interactions with Sisyphus cloud
