Runbullet ========= Execute any command or custom complex logic on your devices, wherever they are, using your PushBullet account. Installation ------------ ```shell pip install runbullet ``` Configuration ------------- Copy /etc/runbullet/config.example.yaml to /etc/runbullet/config.yaml (system-wise settings) or ~/.config/runbullet/config.yaml (user-wise settings). Edit the file to include: * Your PushBullet access token (create one [here](https://www.pushbullet.com/#settings/account)); * The name of the (virtual) PushBullet device used to listen for events (create one [here](https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices)). Each target device is identified by a unique device_id in the messages sent over your account. The device_id is the hostname by default, unless changed in config.yaml. Testing ------- `runbullet` installs `pusher`, a command-line tool to send PushBullet messages to the connected devices in the format used by runbullet. Some examples: ```shell echo '{"cmd":"scp /home/user/photos/*.jpg backup_host:/mnt/hd/photos"}' | pusher --target laptop --action shell.exec echo '{}' | pusher --target raspberrypi --action music.mpd.play ``` The logic to execute is specified by the `--action` option, whose format is `package_name.method_name` (with method_name part of the package main class). Writing your plugins -------------------- Writing your own `runbullet` plugin, that would execute your own custom logic whenever a bullet with your plugin name is received, is a very simple task. 1. Create your plugin directory under `runbullet/plugins` (e.g. `light/batsignal`). 2. In the case above, `runbullet.plugins.light.batsignal` will be your package name. 3. Create an `__init__.py` under `runbullet/plugins/light/batsignal`. 4. If your module is `light/batsignal`, then its main class should be named `LightBatsignalPlugin`. 5. The configuration for your module will be read from a section named `light.batsignal` from your `config.yaml`, the attributes are accessible in your class in `self.config`. The `__init__.py` will look like this: ```python import batman from .. import LightPlugin class LightBatsignalPlugin(LightPlugin): def _init(self): self.batsignal = batman.Batsignal(self.config['intensity']) def on(self): self.batsignal.on() def off(self): self.batsignal.off() def toggle(self): self.batsignal.toggle() def status(self): return [self.batsignal.status().stdout, self.batsignal.status().stderr] ``` 6. It's a good practice to define a `status` method in your plugin, which returns a 2-items list like `[output, error]`. 7. Rebuild and reinstall `runbullet` if required and relaunch it. 8. Test your new plugin by sending some bullets to it: ```shell echo '{}' | pusher --target your_pc --action light.batsignal.on ```
