string property

string: str

Returns the value of the tag

tag property

tag: str

Returns the value of the tag without its parameters or prefix

parameters property

parameters: list[str]

Returns the parameters of the tag

with_parameter

with_parameter(parameter: str | int) -> Self

pyown.items.automation.AutomationEvents

Bases: Enum

This enum is used internally to register the callbacks to the correct event.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
STOP		The event for when the automation stops.
UP		The event for when the automation goes up.

client property writable

client: BaseClient

Returns the client used to communicate with the server.

create_normal_message

create_normal_message(what: What | str) -> NormalMessage

Creates a normal message for the item. Args: what: The action to perform. Returns: A normal message.

create_status_message

create_status_message() -> StatusRequest

) -> DimensionWriting

Creates a dimension message for the item. Args: dimension: the dimension value to set. *args: the values to set.

Returns:

create_dimension_request_message

create_dimension_request_message(
    dimension: Dimension,
) -> DimensionRequest

Creates a dimension request message for the item. Args: dimension: the dimension value to request.

Returns:

send_normal_message async

send_normal_message(what: What | str) -> None

Sends a normal message to the server and check the response.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
what	What | str	The action to perform.	required

Raises:

Type	Description
ResponseError	If the server does not acknowledge the message.

send_status_request async

send_status_request() -> AsyncIterator[NormalMessage]

Sends a status request and receive multiple responses from the server.

Raises:

Type	Description
ResponseError	If the server responds with an invalid message.

Returns:

Type	Description
AsyncIterator[NormalMessage]	The responses from the server.

send_dimension_request async

send_dimension_request(
    dimension: Dimension | str,
) -> AsyncIterator[DimensionResponse]

Sends a dimension request and receive multiple responses from the server.

Raises:

Type	Description
ResponseError	If the server responds with an invalid message.

Returns:

Type	Description
AsyncIterator[DimensionResponse]	The responses from the server.

send_dimension_writing async

send_dimension_writing(
    dimension: Dimension | str, *args: Value
) -> None

Sends a dimension writing message to the server and check the response.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
dimension	Dimension | str	the dimension value to set.	required
*args	Value	the values to set.	()

Raises:

Type	Description
ResponseError	If the server does not acknowledge the message.

stop async

stop()

Sends a stop command to the automation.

up async

up()

Sends an up command to the automation.

down async

down()

Sends a down command to the automation.

get_status async

get_status() -> AsyncIterator[tuple[Where, WhatAutomation]]

Requests the status of the automation.

Raises:

Type	Description
AttributeError	If the automation is not a light point.

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
WhatAutomation	AsyncIterator[tuple[Where, WhatAutomation]]	The status of the automation.

on_status_change classmethod

on_status_change(
    callback: Callable[
        [Self, WhatAutomation], Coroutine[None, None, None]
    ]
)

Registers a callback to be called when the status of the automation changes.

If the shutter is already down and a command is sent to go down, the gateway will sometimes return the stop event and before the down event. So, make sure to handle this case in your code.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
callback	Callable[[Self, WhatAutomation], Coroutine[None, None, None]]	The callback to call. It will receive as arguments the item and the status.	required

call_callbacks async classmethod

call_callbacks(
    item: Self, message: BaseMessage
) -> list[Task]

Calls the registered callbacks for the event. Used internally by the client to dispatch the events to the correct callbacks.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
item	BaseItem	The item that triggered the event.	required
message	BaseMessage	The message that triggered the event.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
list[Task]	list[Task]: A list of tasks scheduled to run the callbacks.
