################################################################################# # Sample platypush configuration file. # Edit it and copy it to /etc/platypush/config.yaml for system installation or to # ~/.config/platypush/config.yaml for user installation (recommended). ################################################################################# # -- # include directive example # -- # # You can split your configuration over multiple files # and use the include directive to import them in your configuration. # Relative paths are also supported, and computed using the config.yaml # installation directory as base folder. Symlinks are also supported. # # Using multiple files is encouraged in the case of large configurations # that can easily end up in a messy config.yaml file, as they help you # keep your configuration more organized. include: - include/logging.yaml - include/media.yaml - include/sensors.yaml # platypush logs on stdout by default. You can use the logging section to specify # an alternative file or change the logging level. logging: filename: ~/.local/log/platypush/platypush.log level: INFO # The device_id is used by many components of platypush and it should uniquely # identify a device in your network. If nothing is specified then the hostname # will be used. device_id: myname ## -- ## Plugin configuration examples ## -- # # Plugins configuration is very straightforward. Each plugin is mapped to # a plugin class. The methods of the class with @action annotation will # be exported as runnable actions, while the __init__ parameters are # configuration attributes that you can initialize in your config.yaml. # Plugin classes are documented at https://docs.platypush.tech/en/latest/plugins.html # # In this example we'll configure the light.hue plugin, see # https://docs.platypush.tech/en/latest/platypush/plugins/light.hue.html # for reference. You can easily install the required dependencies for the plugin through # pip install 'platypush[hue]' light.hue: # IP address or hostname of the Hue bridge bridge: 192.168.1.10 # Groups that will be handled by default if nothing is specified on the request groups: - Living Room # Example configuration of music.mpd plugin, see # https://docs.platypush.tech/en/latest/platypush/plugins/music.mpd.html # You can easily install the dependencies through pip install 'platypush[mpd]' music.mpd: host: localhost port: 6600 # Example configuration of media.chromecast plugin, see # https://docs.platypush.tech/en/latest/platypush/plugins/media.chromecast.html # You can easily install the dependencies through pip install 'platypush[chromecast]' media.chromecast: chromecast: Living Room TV # Plugins with empty configuration can also be explicitly enabled by specifying # enabled=True or disabled=False (it's a good practice if you want the # corresponding web panel to be enabled, if available) camera: enabled: True # Support for last.fm scrobbling. Install dependencies with 'pip install "platypush[lastfm]" lastfm: api_key: your_api_key api_secret: your_api_secret username: your_username password: your_password # Support for calendars - in this case Google and Facebook calendars # Installing the dependencies: pip install 'platypush[ical,google]' calendar: calendars: - type: platypush.plugins.google.calendar.GoogleCalendarPlugin - type: platypush.plugins.calendar.ical.CalendarIcalPlugin url: https://www.facebook.com/events/ical/upcoming/?uid=your_user_id&key=your_key ## -- ## Backends configuration examples ## -- # # Backends are basically threads that run in the background and listen for something # to happen and either trigger events or provide additional services on top of platypush. # Just like plugins, backends are classes whose configuration matches one-to-one the # supported parameters on the __init__ methods. You can check the documentation for the # available backends here: https://docs.platypush.tech/en/latest/backends.html. # Moreover, most of the backends will generate events that you can react to through custom # event hooks. Check here for the events documentation: # https://docs.platypush.tech/en/latest/events.html # # You may usually want to enable the HTTP backend, as it provides many useful features on # top of platypush. Among those: # # - Expose the /execute endpoint, that allows you to send requests to platypush through a # JSON-RPC interface. # - Web panel, one of the key additiona features of platypush. Many plugins will expose web # panel tabs for e.g. accessing and controlling lights, music, media and sensors. # - Dashboard: platypush can be configured to show a custom dashboard on your screens with # e.g. music platypush and weather info, news, upcoming calendar events and photo carousel. # - Streaming support - the HTTP backend makes it possible to stream local media to other # devices - e.g. Chromecasts and external browsers. # # To install the HTTP backend dependencies simply run 'pip install "platypush[http]"' backend.http: # Listening port port: 8008 # Through resource_dirs you can specify external folders whose content can be accessed on # the web server through a custom URL. In the case below we have a Dropbox folder containing # our pictures and we mount it to the '/carousel' endpoint. resource_dirs: carousel: ~/Dropbox/Photos/carousel # Dashboard configuration. The dashboard is a collection of widgets and it's organized in # multiple rows. Each rows can be split in 12 columns. Therefore 'columns: 12' will make # a widget span over the whole row, while 'columns: 6' will make a widget take half the # horizontal space of a column. dashboard: widgets: - widget: calendar columns: 6 - widget: music columns: 3 - widget: date-time-weather columns: 3 - widget: image-carousel columns: 6 images_path: ~/Dropbox/Photos/carousel refresh_seconds: 15 - widget: rss-news # Requires backend.http.poll to be enabled with some # RSS sources and write them to sqlite db columns: 6 limit: 25 db: "sqlite:////home/user/.local/share/platypush/feeds/rss.db" # The HTTP poll backend is a versatile backend that can monitor for HTTP-based resources and # trigger events whenever new entries are available. In the example below we show how to use # the backend to listen for changes on a set of RSS feeds. New content will be stored by default # on a SQLite database under ~/.local/share/platypush/feeds/rss.db. # Install the required dependencies through 'pip install "platypush[rss,db]"' backend.http.poll: requests: - # HTTP poll type (RSS) type: platypush.backend.http.request.rss.RssUpdates # Remote URL url: http://www.theguardian.com/rss/world # Custom title title: The Guardian - World News # How often we should check for changes poll_seconds: 600 # Maximum number of new entries to be processed max_entries: 10 - type: platypush.backend.http.request.rss.RssUpdates url: http://www.physorg.com/rss-feed title: Phys.org poll_seconds: 600 max_entries: 10 - type: platypush.backend.http.request.rss.RssUpdates url: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techcrunch title: Tech Crunch poll_seconds: 600 max_entries: 10 - type: platypush.backend.http.request.rss.RssUpdates url: http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml title: The New York Times poll_seconds: 300 max_entries: 10 # MQTT backend. Installed required dependencies through 'pip install "platypush[mqtt]"' backend.mqtt: # Remote MQTT server IP or hostname host: mqtt-server # By default the backend will listen for messages on the platypush_bus_mq/device_id # topic, but you can change the prefix using the topic attribute topic: my_platypush_bus # Raw TCP socket backend.

Install required dependencies through 'pip install "platypush[http]"' backend.websocket: port: 8765 ## -- ## Assistant configuration examples ## -- # # Both Google Assistant and Alexa voice assistant interfaces are supported by platypush. # You can easily make your custom voice assistant with a RaspberryPi and a USB microphone, # or on your laptop. Note however that the Alexa integration is still experimental # (mostly because of glitches and bugs on the avs package provided by Amazon), while the # Google Assistant support should be more robust. The recommended way of triggering a # hotword ('OK Google', 'Alexa' or any custom hotword you like) is through the snowboy # backend (install it through 'pip install "platypush[hotword]"'). You can download custom # voice model files (.umdl) from https://snowboy.kitt.ai. backend.assistant.snowboy: # Microphone audio gain audio_gain: 1.1 models: # "Computer" hotword model computer: # UMDL file path voice_model_file: ~/.local/share/snowboy/models/computer.umdl # Plugin to use (Google Assistant) assistant_plugin: assistant.google.pushtotalk # Language assistant (Italian) assistant_language: it-IT # Sound to play when the hotword is detected detect_sound: ~/.local/share/sounds/hotword.wav # Model sensitivity sensitivity: 0.4 # "OK Google" hotword model ok_google: voice_model_file: ~/.local/share/snowboy/models/OK Google.pmdl assistant_plugin: assistant.google.pushtotalk assistant_language: en-US detect_sound: ~/.local/share/sounds/sci-fi/PremiumBeat_0013_cursor_selection_16.wav sensitivity: 0.4 # "Alexa" voice model alexa: voice_model_file: ~/.local/share/snowboy/models/Alexa.pmdl assistant_plugin: assistant.echo assistant_language: en-US detect_sound: ~/.local/share/sounds/sci-fi/PremiumBeat_0013_cursor_selection_16.wav sensitivity: 0.5 # Install Alexa dependencies with 'pip install "platypush[alexa]"' assistant.echo: audio_player: mplayer # Install Google Assistant dependencies with 'pip install "platypush[google-assistant]"' assistant.google.pushtotalk: language: en-US ## -- ## Procedure examples ## -- # # Procedures are lists of actions that can be executed synchronously (default) or in parallel # (procedure.async. prefix). Basic flow control operators (if/else/for) are also available. # You can also access Python variables and evaluate Python expressions by using the ${} expressions. # The 'context' special variable is a name->value dictionary containing the items returned from # previous actions - for example if an action returned '{"status": "ok", "temperature":21.5}' then # the following actions can access those variables through ${status} and ${temperature} respectively, # and you can also add things like '- if ${temperature > 20.0}' or '- for ${temp in temperature_values}'. # Alternatively, you can access those variable also through ${context.get('status')} or ${context.get('temperature')}. # Other special variables that you can use in your procedures: # # - output: Will contain the parsed output of the previous action # - errors: Will contain the errors of the previous action # - event: If the procedure is executed within an event hook, it contains the event that triggered the hook # # An example procedure that can be called when you arrive home. You can run this procedure by sending a JSON # message like this on whichever backend you like (HTTP, websocket, TCP, Redis, MQTT, Node-RED, Pushbullet...) # {"type":"request", "action":"procedure.at_home"} # You can for instance install Tasker+AutoLocation on your mobile and send this message whenever you enter # your home area. procedure.at_home: # Set the db variable HOME to 1 - action: variable.set args: HOME: 1 # Check the luminosity level from a connected LTR559 sensor - action: gpio.sensor.ltr559.get_data # If it's below a certain threshold turn on the lights - if ${int(light or 0) < 110}: - action: light.hue.on # Say a welcome home message. Install dependencies through 'pip install "platypush[google-tts]"' - action: tts.google.say args: text: Welcome home # Start the music - action: music.mpd.play # Procedure that will be execute when you're outside of home procedure.outside_home: # Unset the db variable HOME - action: variable.unset args: name: HOME # Stop the music - action: music.mpd.stop # Turn off the lights - action: light.hue.off # Start the camera streaming. Install the Pi Camera dependencies through # 'pip install "platypush[picamera]"' - action: camera.pi.start_streaming args: listen_port: 2222 # Procedures can also take optional arguments. The example below show a # generic procedure to send a request to another platypush host over MQTT # given target, action and args procedure.send_request(target, action, args): - action: mqtt.send_message args: topic: my_platypush_bus/${target} host: mqtt-server port: 1883 msg: type: request target: ${target} action: ${action} args: "${context.get('args', {}}" ## -- ## Event hook examples ## -- # # Event hooks are procedures that are run when a certain condition is met. # Check the documentation of the backends to see which events they can trigger. # An event hook consists of two parts: an 'if' field that specifies on which # event the hook will be triggered (type and attributes content), and a 'then' # field that uses the same syntax as procedures to specify a list of actions to # execute when the event is matched. # # The example below plays the music on mpd/mopidy when your voice assistant # triggers a speech recognized event with "play the music" content. event.hook.PlayMusicAssistantCommand: if: type: platypush.message.event.assistant.SpeechRecognizedEvent # Note that basic regexes are supported, so the hook will be triggered # both if you say "play the music" and "play music" phrase: "play (the)? music" then: - action: music.mpd.play # This will turn on the lights when you say "turn on the lights" event.hook.TurnOnLightsCommand: if: type: platypush.message.event.assistant.SpeechRecognizedEvent phrase: "turn on (the)? lights?" then: - action: light.hue.on # This will play a song by a specified artist event.hook.SearchSongVoiceCommand: if: type: platypush.message.event.assistant.SpeechRecognizedEvent # Note that you can use the ${} operator in event matching to # extract part of the matched string into context variables that # can be accessed in your event hook. phrase: "play ${title} by ${artist}" then: - action: music.mpd.clear - action: music.mpd.search args: filter: - artist - ${artist} - any - ${title} # Play the first search result - action: music.mpd.play args: resource: ${output[0]['file']} # This event will scrobble newly listened tracks on mpd/mopidy to last.fm event.hook.ScrobbleNewTrack: if: type: platypush.message.event.music.NewPlayingTrackEvent then: - action: lastfm.scrobble args: artist: ${track['artist']} title: ${track['title']} - action: lastfm.update_now_playing args: artist: ${track['artist']} title: ${track['title']} ## -- ## Cron examples ## -- # # Cronjobs allow you to execute procedures at periodic intervals. # Standard UNIX cron syntax is supported, plus an optional 6th indicator # at the end of the expression to run jobs with second granularity. # The example below executes a script at intervals of 1 minute. cron.TestCron: cron_expression: '* * * * *' actions: - action: shell.exec args: cmd: ~/bin/myscript.sh
