PyAlertMe

PyAlertMe is a set of classes which, when used in conjunction with a Digi XBee (ZigBee) module, can be used to simulate an AlertMe (Lowes Iris, Hive, British Gas Safe and Secure) Hub, SmartPlug or Sensor.

Use

Hub

# Setup Serial
XBEE_PORT = '/dev/tty.usbserial-DN018OI6'
XBEE_BAUD = 9600
ser = serial.Serial(XBEE_PORT, XBEE_BAUD)

# Define Callback (Optional)
def callback(type, node_id, field, value):
    if type == 'Attribute':
        print("Attribute Update\n\tNode ID: " + node_id + "  Field: " + field + "  Value: " + str(value))
    elif type == 'Node':
        print("Node Update\n\tNode ID: " + node_id + "  Field: " + field + "  Value: " + str(value))

# Create Hub Object
hub_obj = Hub(callback)
hub_obj.start(ser)

The hub supports the following devices:

• SmartPlug
• Power Clamp
• Button Device
• PIR Device
• Door/Window sensor
• Alarm Detector
• Keyfob Device
• Beacon
• Lamp

SmartPlug

# Setup Serial
XBEE_PORT = '/dev/tty.usbserial-DN018OI6'
XBEE_BAUD = 9600
ser = serial.Serial(XBEE_PORT, XBEE_BAUD)

# Create SmartPlug Object
device_obj = SmartPlug()
device_obj.start(ser)

XBee Setup

Configure XBee as follows: XBee Modem XB24-ZB, ZIGBEE Coordinator API, Version 21A7 (or better). Alternatively use you can use scripts/setup-xbee.py to configure the Xbee.
