It's actively being tested on RaspberryPi devices and it has interesting applications when it comes to home automation and IoT, but it should be generic enough to solve most of the automation and information delivery issues in a distributed network. + +Architecture +------------ + +The base components are: + +* __Messages__: _requests_, _responses_ or _events_. The main difference between a request and an event is that the former specifies an explicit action to be executed through a _plugin_ (and the sender will usually wait for a _response_), while an event only notifies that something happened on a connected data source and can either be ignored or trigger some custom actions specified in the configuration. + +* The __Bus__: An internal queue where all the other components exchange messages. + +* __Backends__: Components that poll other data sources (a local queue, a remote websocket, a Kafka instance, or even a vocal assistant, a programmable button or a sensor) and post either requests or events on the bus when something happens on the data source. Some of them can have a full-duplex integration with the bus, i.e. post requests and events on the bus as they come and deliver responses from the bus back to the sender (examples: PushBullet, Apache Kafka, sockets), while some are pure data sources that will only post events on the bus (examples: sensors, buttons, vocal assistants). + +* __Plugins__: Configurable components which expose _actions_ that can be triggered by requests or events. Examples: smart lights, music controls, YouTube or torrentcast features, text-to-speech, generic shell commands, etc.). They would usually deliver output and errors as responses on the bus. + +* __Procedures__: Pre-configured lists of actions that can be triggered by requests or events. + +* Event __Hooks__: Pre-configured actions that will be executed when certain events are processed. They include: + * A _condition_, which can be fuzzly compared against an event. The matching logic will also return a _match score_ if the condition is met. The score is a function of the number of atomic matches (string tokens, scalars, key-values etc.) in the condition that are satisfied by a certain event. If multiple hooks are satisfied by a certain event, the algorithm will only run the ones with the highest score. + * One or more _actions_ to be executed in case of event match (e.g. "turn on the lights", "send a Messenger message to my s.o.", "turn on the heating", "play the radio" etc.) Installation ------------ @@ -21,26 +44,159 @@ cd platypush python setup.py install ``` +Check `all_requirements.txt` for any extra dependencies you may want to install depending on your configuration.

You can have your server running on a machine with a hard drive stuffed with mp3s, and access your collection from anywhere using a big family of compatible command line, graphical, web or mobile clients. [Mopidy](https://www.mopidy.com/) is an evolution of MPD that allows you to access music content from multiple sources through a wide set of plugins - e.g. Spotify, SoundCloud, Deezer, Pandora, TuneIn, Google Music. + +Platypush can be a client for your MPD/Mopidy music server, allowing you to search for music, control your queue and the playback upon requests or events. + +Configuration: + +```yaml +music.mpd: + host: localhost + port: 6600 +``` + +#### Video and media support + +Platypush comes with support for video media, including YouTube, local media and torrents (requires [torrentcast](https://www.npmjs.com/package/torrentcast)).
