Module: telldus

class telldus.DeviceManager

The devicemanager holds and manages all the devices in the server

addDevice(**kwargs)

Call this function to register a new device to the device manager.

Note

The localId() function in the device must return a unique id for the transport type returned by typeString()

Note

Calls to this method are threadsafe.

device(deviceId)

Retrieves a device.

Returns:
the device specified by deviceId or None of no device was found
finishedLoading(**kwargs)

Finished loading all devices of this type. If there are any unconfirmed, these should be deleted

Note

Calls to this method are threadsafe.

removeDevice(**kwargs)

Removes a device.

Warning

This function may only be called by the module supplying the device since removing of a device may be transport specific.

Note

Calls to this method are threadsafe.

retrieveDevices(deviceType=None)

Retrieve a list of devices.

Args:
deviceType:If this parameter is set only devices with this type is returned
Returns:
Returns a list of devices
class telldus.IDeviceChange

Bases: base.Plugin.IInterface

Implement this IInterface to recieve notifications on device changes

deviceAdded()

This method is called when a device is added

deviceConfirmed()

This method is called when a device is confirmed on the network, not only loaded from storage (not applicable to all device types)

deviceRemoved()

This method is called when a device is removed

sensorValueUpdated(valueType, value, scale)

This method is called when a new sensor value is received from a sensor

stateChanged(state, statevalue)

Called when the state of a device changed

_command(action, value, success, failure, **kwargs)

Reimplement this method to execute an action to this device.

battery()

Returns the current battery value

command(action, value=None, origin=None, success=None, failure=None, callbackArgs=[], ignore=None)

This method executes a method with the device. This method must not be subclassed. Please subclass _command() instead.

param action:description
return:return description

Here below is the results of the Device.methods() docstring.

isDevice()

Return True if this is a device.

isSensor()

Return True if this is a sensor.

localId()

This method must be reimplemented in the subclass. Return a unique id for this device type.

static methodStrToInt(method)

Convenience method to convert method string to constants.

Example: “turnon” => Device.TURNON

methods()

Return the methods this supports. This is an or-ed in of device method flags.

Example: return Device.TURNON | Device.TURNOFF

sensorValue(valueType, scale)

Returns a sensor value of a the specified valueType and scale. Returns None is no such value exists

sensorValues()

Returns a list of all sensor values this device has received.

state()

Returns a tuple of the device state and state value

Example: state, stateValue = device.state()

typeString()

Must be reimplemented by subclass. Return the type (transport) of this device. All devices from a plugin must have the same type.

class telldus.Sensor

Bases: telldus.Device.Device

A convenience class for sensors.

isDevice()

Return True if this is a device.

isSensor()

Return True if this is a sensor.
