################################################################################ # Sample Platypush configuration file. # # Edit it and: # - Copy it to /etc/platypush/config.yaml for system installation. # - Copy it to ~/.config/platypush/config.yaml for user installation. # - Start the application with `-c `. # # Since the configuration file also includes the custom integrations, you can # create a Platypush custom installation, with all the extra dependencies # required by the configured integrations, using the `platydock` or `platyvenv` # commands and passing this file as an argument. These commands will build a # Docker image or a Python virtual environment respectively, with all the # required extra dependencies inferred from your configuration file. # # A `scripts` directory with an empty `__init__.py` script will also be created # under the same directory as the configuration file. This directory can be # used to add custom scripts containing procedures, hooks and crons if you want # a full Python interface to define your logic rather than a YAML file. # # Please refer to the `scripts` directory provided under this file's directory # for some examples that use the Python API. ################################################################################ ### ------------------ ### Include directives ### ------------------ ### # # You can split your configuration over multiple files and use the include # # directive to import other files into your configuration. # # # Files referenced via relative paths will be searched in the directory of # # the configuration file that references them. Symbolic links are also # # supported. # # include: # - logging.yaml # - media.yaml # - sensors.yaml ### ### ----------------- ### Working directory ### ----------------- ### # # Working directory of the application. This is where the main database will be # # stored by default (if the default SQLite configuration is used), and it's # # where the integrations will store their state. # # # Note that the working directory can also be specified at runtime using the # # -w/--workdir option. # # # # If not specified, then one of the following will be used: # # # # - $XDG_DATA_HOME/platypush if the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable is set. # # - /var/lib/platypush if the user is root. # # - $HOME/.local/share/platypush otherwise. # # workdir: ~/.local/share/platypush ### ### ----------------- ### Cache directory ### ----------------- ### # # Note that the cache directory can also be specified at runtime using the # # --cachedir option. # # # # If not specified, then one of the following will be used: # # # # - $XDG_CACHE_DIR/platypush if the XDG_CACHE_DIR environment variable is set. # # - /var/cache/platypush if the user is root. # # - $HOME/.cache/platypush otherwise. # # cachedir: ~/.cache/platypush ### ### ---------------------- ### Database configuration ### ---------------------- ### # # By default Platypush will use a SQLite database named `main.db` under the # # `workdir`. You can specify any other engine string here - the application has # # been tested against SQLite, Postgres and MariaDB/MySQL >= 8. # # # # NOTE: If you want to use a DBMS other than SQLite, then you will also need to # # ensure that a compatible Python driver is installed on the system where # # Platypush is running. For example, Postgres will require the Python pg8000, # # psycopg or another compatible driver. # # main.db: # engine: sqlite:///home/user/.local/share/platypush/main.db # # OR, if you want to use e.g. Postgres with the pg8000 driver: # engine: postgresql+pg8000://dbuser:dbpass@dbhost/dbname ### ### --------------------- ### Logging configuration ### --------------------- ### # # Platypush logs on stdout by default. You can use the logging section to # # specify an alternative file or change the logging level. # # # Note that a custom logging directory can also be specified at runtime using # # the -l/--logsdir option. # # logging: # filename: ~/.local/log/platypush/platypush.log # level: INFO ### ### ----------------------- ### device_id configuration ### ----------------------- ### # # 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. # # # Note that a custom device ID can also be specified at runtime using the # # -d/--device-id option. # # device_id: my_device ### ### ------------------- ### Redis configuration ### ------------------- ### # # Platypush needs a Redis instance for inter-process communication. # # # # By default, the application will try and connect to a Redis server listening # # on localhost:6379. # # # # Platypush can also start the service on the fly if instructed to do so # # through the `--start-redis` option. You can also specify a custom port # # through the `--redis-port` option. # # # # If you are running Platypush in a Docker image built through Platydock, then # # `--start-redis` is the default behaviour and you won't need any extra # # documentation here. # # redis: # host: localhost # port: 6379 # username: user # password: secret ### ### ------------------------ ### Web server configuration ### ------------------------ ### # Platypush comes with a versatile Web server that is used to: # # - Serve the main UI and the UIs for the plugins that provide one. # - Serve custom user-configured dashboards. # - Expose the `/execute` RPC endpoint to send synchronous requests. # - Expose the `/ws/events` and `/ws/requests` Websocket paths, which can be # respectively by other clients to subscribe to the application's events or # send asynchronous requests. # - Stream media files provided by other plugins, as well as camera and audio # feeds. # - Serve custom directories of static files that can be accessed by other # clients. # - Provide a versatile API for hooks - the user can easily create custom HTTP # hooks by creating a hook with their custom logic that reacts when a # `platypush.message.event.http.hook.WebhookEvent` is received. The `hook` # parameter of the event specifies which URL will be served by the hook. # # The Web server is enabled by default, but you can disable it simply by # commenting/removing the `backend.http` section. The default listen port is # 8008. # # After starting the application, you can access the UI at # http://localhost:8008, set up your username and password, and also create an # access or session token from the configuration panel. # # This token can be used to authenticate calls to the available APIs. # For example, to turn on the lights using the /execute endpoint: # # curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ # -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ # -d ' # { # "type": "request", # "action": "light.hue.on", # "args": { # "lights": ["Bedroom"] # } # }' http://localhost:8008/execute # # If you want to serve the Web server behind a reverse proxy, you can copy the # reference configuration available at # https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/src/branch/master/examples/nginx/nginx.sample.conf backend.http: # # Bind address (default: 0.0.0.0) # bind_address: 0.0.0.0 # # Listen port (default: 8008) port: 8008 # # resource_dirs can be used to specify directories on the host system that # # you want to expose through the Web server. For example, you may want to # # expose directories that contain photos or images if you want to make a # # carousel dashboard, or a directory containing some files that you want to # # share with someone (or other systems) using a simple Web server. # # # # In the following example, we're exposing a directory with photos on an # # external hard drive other the `/photos` URL. An image like e.g. # # `/mnt/hd/photos/IMG_1234.jpg` will be served over e.g. # # `http://localhost:8008/photos/IMG_1234.jpg` in this case. # resource_dirs: # photos: /mnt/hd/photos # # Number of WSGI workers. Default: (#cpus * 2) + 1 # num_workers: 4 ### ----------------------------- ### Plugin configuration examples ### ----------------------------- ### # # The configuration of a plugin matches one-to-one the parameters required by # # its constructor. # # # # Plugin classes are documented at https://docs.platypush.tech/en/latest/plugins.html # # # # For example, there is a `light.hue` plugin # # (https://docs.platypush.tech/platypush/plugins/light.hue.html) whose # # constructor takes the following parameters: `bridge`, `lights` (default # # target lights for the commands), `groups` (default target groups for the # # commands) and `poll_interval` (how often the plugin should poll for updates). # # # # This means that the `light.hue` plugin can be configured here as: # # light.hue: # # IP address or hostname of the Hue bridge # # NOTE: The first run will require you to register the application with # # your bridge - that's usually done by pressing a physical button on your # # bridge while the application is pairing. # bridge: 192.168.1.3 # # Groups that will be handled by default if nothing is specified on the request # groups: # - Living Room # # # How often we should poll for updates (default: 20 seconds) # poll_interval: 20 ### ### # # Example configuration of the MQTT plugin. # # This plugin allows you to subscribe to MQTT topics and trigger `platypush.message.event.mqtt.MQTTMessageEvent` # # events that you can hook on when new messages are received. # # You can also publish messages to MQTT topics through the `mqtt.publish` action. # # mqtt: # # Host and port of the MQTT broker # host: my-mqtt-broker # port: 1883 # # Topic to subscribe to. Messages received on these topics will trigger `MQTTMessageEvent` events. # topics: # - platypush/sensors # # # Extra listeners. You can use them to subscribe to multiple brokers at the same time. # listeners: # - host: another-mqtt-broker # port: 1883 # username: user # password: secret # topics: # - platypush/tests ### ### # # Example configuration of a voice assistant. # # Several voice assistant plugins and engines are available - Google # # Assistant, Alexa, DeepSpeech, Picovoice etc. # # # # The Google Assistant is probably the most straightforward to configure and # # the richest in terms of features provided out-of-the-box and speech # # detection quality, while others may require further tinkering, may perform # # worse than the Google model, and/or may run models on-device which could not # # be within reach for some machines. # # # # Check the documentation of the `assistant.google` plugin for instructions on # # how to get a credentials file that you can use with a custom assistant # # installation. # # # # Note however that the Google Assistant plugin leverages the # # `google-assistant-library`, which has been deprecated a while ago by Google # # and it's unlikely to receive updates (although it still works and I'd still # # expect it to work). # # assistant.google: # # Path to your credentials file (by default it will look either under # # ~/.config/google-oauthlib-tool/credentials.json or # # /credentials/google/assistant.json # # credentials_file: ~/credentials/assistant.json # # If specified, then this sound will be played when a conversation starts # # conversation_start_sound: ~/sounds/assistant-start.mp3 ### ### # # Example configuration of music.mpd plugin, a plugin to interact with MPD and # # Mopidy music server instances. 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 ### ### # # Plugins with empty configuration can also be explicitly enabled by specifying # # `enabled: true` or `disabled: false`. An integration with no items will be # # enabled with no configuration. # # clipboard: ### ### # # Enable the system plugin if you want your device to periodically report # # system statistics (CPU load, disk usage, memory usage etc.) # # # # When new data is gathered, an `EntityUpdateEvent` with `plugin='system'` will # # be triggered with the new data, and you can subscribe a hook to these events # # to run your custom logic. # # system: # # How often we should poll for new data # poll_interval: 60 ### ### # # Example configuration for the calendar plugin. In this case, we have # # registered a Google calendar that uses the `google.calendar` integration, and # # a Facebook plugin and a NextCloud (WebDAV) plugin exposed over iCal format. # # Installing the dependencies: pip install 'platypush[ical,google]' # calendar: # calendars: # - type: google.calendar # - type: calendar.ical # url: https://www.facebook.com/events/ical/upcoming/?uid=your_user_id&key=your_key # - type: calendar.ical # url: https://my.nextcloud.org/remote.php/dav/public-calendars/id?export ### ### # # Example configuration for the alarm plugin. It is possible to define alarms # # both statically, i.e. through configuration snippets under the `alarm` # # section, and dynamically, i.e. with an `alarm.add` request with the # # configuration of the desired alarm. # alarm: # alarms: # # The media plugin used to play the media. At least a supported media # # plugin (media.vlc, media.mpv, media.mplayer, media.gstreamer etc.) is # # required if you want to play a sound or other media with your alarms. # # Default: looks for the first available media plugin in the configuration. # # media_plugin: media.vlc # # # This alarm will run every morning on weekdays # morning_alarm: # # Notice the crontab-like syntax: every day at 8:00 AM, from Monday # # through Friday. # when: '0 8 * * 1-5' # # # Alternatively, if `when` contains a number, it will be interpreted as # # number of seconds after the alarm is loaded. In this case, this alarm # # will run one-shot one minute after the service starts. # # when: 60 # # # Otherwise, ISO-8601 timestamp strings are also supported for one-shot # # alarms. # # when: '2020-01-01T00:00:00' # # # The path or URL of a media file to play when the alarm starts. This is # # optional - the alarm can also be configured to play no sounds at all, # # or perhaps play the media directly within the context of the `actions` # # configuration. # media: ~/media/ringtones/alarm.mp3 # # # Overrides the media_plugin configuration. # # media_plugin: media.mpv # # # List of actions to be executed when the alarm starts. # actions: # - action: tts.say # args: # text: "Good morning, it's time to get up" # # - action: light.hue.on ### ### # # Torrent plugin configuration, with the default directory that should be used # # to store downloaded files. # # torrent: # download_dir: ~/Downloads ### ### # # List of RSS/Atom subscriptions. These feeds will be monitored for changes and # # a `platypush.message.event.rss.NewFeedEntryEvent` # # (https://docs.platypush.tech/platypush/events/rss.html#platypush.message.event.rss.NewFeedEntryEvent) # # will be triggered when one of these feeds has new entries - you can subscribe # # the event to run your custom logic. # # rss: # # How often we should check for updates (default: 5 minutes) # poll_seconds: 300 # # List of feeds to monitor # subscriptions: # - https://www.theguardian.com/rss/world # - https://phys.org/rss-feed/ # - https://news.ycombinator.com/rss # - https://www.technologyreview.com/stories.rss # - https://api.quantamagazine.org/feed/ ### ### # # The file monitor plugin can be used to track modifications to the # # filesystem - for example, when a file or a directory is modified, created # # or removed. # # file.monitor: # paths: # # Recursively monitor changes on the # # ~/my-images folder that include all the files # # matching a JPEG extension in case-insensitive # # mode, excluding those whose name starts with # # tmp_ and all the files contained in the # # __MACOSX folders # - path: ~/my-images # recursive: true # case_sensitive: false # regexes: # - '.*\\.jpe?g$' # ignore_patterns: # - '^tmp_.*' # ignore_directories: # - '__MACOSX' ### ### # # Example configuration of a weather plugin # # weather.openweathermap: # token: secret # lat: lat # long: long ### ### # # You can add IFTTT integrations to your routines quite easily. # # # # Register an API key for IFTTT, paste it here, and you can run an # # `ifttt.trigger_event` action to fire an event on IFTTT. # # # # You can also create IFTTT routines that call your Platypush instance, by # # using Web hooks (i.e. event hooks that subscribe to # # `platypush.message.event.http.hook.WebhookEvent` events), provided that the # # Web server is listening on a publicly accessible address. # # ifttt: # ifttt_key: SECRET ### ### # # The `http.webpage` integration comes with the mercury-parser JavaScript # # library.

It can forward those events to native Platypush events (see # # https://docs.platypush.tech/platypush/events/zigbee.mqtt.html) that you can # # build automation routines on. You can also use Platypush to control your # # Zigbee devices, either through the Web interface or programmatically through # # the available plugin actions. # # zigbee.mqtt: # # Host of the MQTT broker # host: my-mqtt-broker # # Listen port of the MQTT broker # port: 1883 # # Base topic, as specified in `/data/configuration.yaml` # topic_prefix: zigbee2mqtt ### ### # # Example configuration of the zwave.mqtt integration. # # This integration listens for the events pushed by ZWaveJS service to an MQTT # # broker. It can forward those events to native Platypush events (see # # https://docs.platypush.tech/platypush/events/zwave.html) that you can build # # automation routines on. # # You can also use Platypush to control your Z-Wave devices, either through the # # Web interface or programmatically through the available plugin actions. # # zwave.mqtt: # # Host of the MQTT broker # host: my-mqtt-broker # # Listen port of the MQTT broker # port: 1883 # # Gateway name, usually configured in the ZWaveJS-UI through `Settings -> # # MQTT -> Name` # name: zwavejs2mqtt # # The prefix of the published topics, usually configured in the ZWaveJS-UI # # through `Settings -> MQTT -> Prefix`. # topic_prefix: zwave ### ### -------------------- ### Camera configuration ### -------------------- ### # # There are several providers for the camera integration - you can choose # # between ffmpeg, gstreamer, PiCamera etc., and they all expose the same # # interface/configuration options. # # # # It is advised to use the ffmpeg integration, as it's the one that provides # # the highest degree of features and supported hardware. # # # # If the plugin is correctly configured, you can access your camera feed from # # the Platypush Web panel, programmatically start/stop recording sessions, take # # photos, get a feed stream URL etc. # # # The camera feed will be available at `/camera//video[.extension]`, # # for example `/camera/ffmpeg/video.mjpeg` for MJPEG (usually faster), or # # `camera/ffmpeg/video.mp4` for MP4. # # # You can also capture images by connecting to the # # `/camera//photo[.extension]`, for example `/camera/ffmpeg/photo.jpg`. # # camera.ffmpeg: # # Default video device to use # device: /dev/video0 # # Default resolution # resolution: # - 640 # - 480 # # The directory that will be used to store captured frames/images # frames_dir: ~/Camera/Photos # # Default image scaling factors (default: 1, no scaling) # scale_x: 1.5 # scale_y: 1.5 # # Default rotation of the image, in degrees (default: 0, no rotation) # rotate: 90 # # Grayscale mode (default: False): # grayscale: false # # Default frames per second (default: 16) # fps: 16 # # Whether to flip the image along the horizontal axis (default: False) # horizontal_flip: false # # Whether to flip the image along the horizontal axis (default: False) # vertical_flip: false ### ### ----------------- ### Sound integration ### ----------------- ### # # The sound plugin allows you to stream from an audio source connected to the # # machine, play audio files or synthetic audio waves or MIDI sounds. # # # After enabling the plugin, you can access the audio stream at # # `/sound/stream[.extension]` (e.g. `/sound/stream.mp3`) if you want to get a # # live recording of the captured sound from the configured audio # # `input_device`. # # sound: # enabled: true ### ### ----------------------------------- ### Some examples of media integrations ### ----------------------------------- ### # # Example configuration for the media.vlc plugin. You can replace `vlc` with # # `mpv`, `mplayer`, `omxplayer` or `gstreamer` if you want to use another # # player - the supported configuration option are the same across all these # # players. # # media.vlc: # # Volume level, between 0 and 100 # volume: 50 # # Where to store downloaded files # download_dir: ~/Downloads # # Play videos in fullscreen by default # fullscreen: True # # If youtube-dl or any compatible application is installed, play requested # # videos in this format by default. Default: `best`. # youtube_format: 'mp4[height<=?480]' # # Extra arguments to pass to the executable. --play-and-exit may be a good # # idea with VLC, so the player terminates upon stop instead of lingering in # # the background. # args: # - --play-and-exit # # List of directories to search for media files.

It requires you to enable the JSON API service # # from Kodi's settings. # # media.kodi: # host: localhost # http_port: 8080 # username: kodi # password: secret ### ### # # Example configuration for a Plex media server. This integration makes it # # possible to navigate and search media items from your Plex library in the # # media UI. # # media.plex: # server: localhost # username: plex # password: secret ### ### # # Jellyfin media server configuration. # # media.jellyfin: # server: https://media.example.com # api_key: secret ### ### --------------------- ### Sensors configuration ### --------------------- ### # # The serial plugin can be used to read sensor data from a device connected # # over serial/USB interface. # # # # It can be used, for example, to connect to an Arduino or ESP device over # # serial port, where the remote microcontroller periodically sends sensor data # # over the serial interface. # # # # The data can be sent on the wire either as raw string-encoded numbers (one # # per line), or (better) in JSON format. For example, you can program your # # microcontroller to periodically send JSON strings like these when you get new # # readings from your sensors: # # # # {"temperature": 25.0, "humidity": 20.0, "smoke": 0.01, "luminosity": 45} # # # # The JSON will be automatically unpacked by the application, and the relevant # # `platypush.message.event.sensor.SensorDataChangeEvent` events will be # # triggered when the data changes - you can subscribe to them in your custom # # hooks. # # serial: # # The path to the USB interface with e.g. an Arduino or ESP microcontroller # # connected. # # A way to get a deterministic path name on Linux, instead of # # `/dev/ttyUSB`, can be the following: # # # # - Get the vendor and product ID of your device via e.g. `lsusb`. For # # example, for an Arduino-compatible microcontroller: # # # # Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter # # # # - In the case above, `1a86` is the vendor ID and `7523` is the product # # ID. Create a new udev rule for it, so every time the device is # # connected it will also be symlinked to e.g. `/dev/arduino`: # # # # echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a86", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7523", SYMLINK+="arduino"' | \ # # sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/98-usb-serial.rules # device: /dev/ttyUSB0 # # How often the interface should be polled for updates, in seconds # poll_interval: 1 # # The tolerance argument can be used to tune when you want to be notified # # of data changes through `SensorDataChangeEvent` events. In the case # # below, if the microcontroller sends two consecutive temperature reads, # # one for 22.0 and one for 22.2, then only one `SensorDataChangeEvent` will # # be triggered (for the first read), since the absolute value of the # # difference between the two events is less than the configured tolerance. # # However, if the device sends two temperature reads, one for 22.0 and one # # for 22.7, then two `SensorDataChangeEvent` events will be triggered. # # The tolerance for all the metrics is set to a value close to zero by # # default - i.e. any read, unless it's exactly the same as the previous # # one, will trigger a new event. # tolerance: # temperature: 0.5 # humidity: 0.75 # luminosity: 5 # # # If a threshold is defined for a sensor, and the value of that sensor goes # # below/above that temperature between two reads, then a # # `SensorDataBelowThresholdEvent` or a `SensorDataAboveThresholdEvent` will # # be triggered respectively. # thresholds: # temperature: 25.0 ### ### # # Alternatively to the serial plugin, you can also use the arduino plugin if # # you want to specifically interface with Arduino. # # # # This plugin won't require you to write any logic for your microcontroller. # # However, it requires your microcontroller to be flash with the Firmata # # firmware, which allows programmatic external control. # # # # Note that the interface of this plugin is basically the same as the serial # # plugin, and any other plugin that extends `SensorPlugin` in general. # # Therefore, poll_interval, tolerance and thresholds are supported here too. # # arduino: # board: /dev/ttyUSB0 # # name -> PIN number mapping (similar for digital_pins). # # It allows you to pick a common name for your PINs that will be used in # # the forwarded events. # analog_pins: # temperature: 7 # # tolerance: # temperature: 0.5 # # thresholds: # temperature: 25.0 ### ### # # Another example: the LTR559 is a common sensor for proximity and luminosity # # that can be wired to a Raspberry Pi or similar devices over SPI or I2C # # interface. It exposes the same base interface as all other sensor plugins. # # sensor.ltr559: # poll_interval: 1.0 # tolerance: # light: 7.0 # proximity: 5.0 # # thresholds: # proximity: 10.0 ### ### -------------------------------- ### Some text-to-speech integrations ### -------------------------------- ### # # `tts` is the simplest TTS integration. It leverages the Google Translate open # # "say" endpoint to render text as audio speech. # # tts: # # The media plugin that should be used to play the audio response # # The default language of the voice # language: en-gb ### ### # # `tts.google` leverages Google's official text-to-speech API to render audio # # speech from text. # # # # Install its dependencies via 'pip install "platypush[google-tts]"'. # # # # Like all other Google integrations, it requires you to register an app on the # # Google developers console, create an API key, and follow the instruction # # logged on the next restart to give your app the required permissions to your # # account. # # tts.google: # # The default language of the voice # language: en-US # # The gender of the voice (MALE or FEMALE) # gender: FEMALE # # The path to the JSON file containing your Google API credentials # credentials_file: '~/.credentials/platypush/google/platypush-tts.json' ### ### # # This TTS integration leverages mimic3, an open-source TTS Web server # # developed by Mycroft (RIP). # # # # Follow the instructions at # # https://docs.platypush.tech/platypush/plugins/tts.mimic3.html to quickly # # bootstrap a mimic3 server. # # tts.mimic3: # # The base URL of the mimic3 server # server_url: http://127.0.0.1:59125 # # Path of the default voice that should be used # voice: 'en_US/vctk_low' ### ## ---------- ## Procedures ## ---------- # Procedures are lists of actions that are executed sequentially. # # This section shows how to define procedures directly in your YAML # configuration file(s). However, you can also put your procedures into Python # scripts inside of the `/scripts` directory if you want access to # a full-blown Python syntax. They will be automatically discovered at startup # and available to the application. # # You can also access Python variables and evaluate Python expressions by using # `${}` context expressions. # # The `context` special variable is a name->value dictionary containing the # items returned from previous actions. For example, if an action returned # `{"status": "ok", "temperature": 21.5}`, then the following actions can access # those variables through `${context["status"]}` or # `${context["temperature"]}`, or simply `${status}` and `${temperature}`, # respectively. # # You can also add statements like `- if ${temperature > 20.0}` or # `- for ${temp in temperature_values}` in your procedures. # # Besides the `context` variables, the following special variables are also # available to the `${}` constructs when running a procedure: # # - `output`: It contains the parsed output of the previous action. # - `errors`: It contains the errors of the previous action # - `event`: If the procedure is an event hook (or it 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 from the Platypush `execute` Web panel, or # # programmatically by sending a JSON request to your Web server (or to the # # `/ws/requests` Websocket route, or to the TCP backend) # # # # curl -XPOST \ # # -H "Authorization: Bearer $YOUR_TOKEN" \ # # -d '{"type": "request", "action": "procedure.at_home"}' # # # # A use-case can be the one where you have a Tasker automation running on your # # Android device that detects when your phone enters or exits a certain area, # # and sends the appropriate request to your Platypush server. # # procedure.at_home: # # Set the db variable AT_HOME to 1. # # Variables are flexible entities with a name and a value that will be # # stored on the database and persisted across sessions. # # You can access them in other procedures, scripts or hooks and run # # custom logic on the basis of their value. # - action: variable.set # args: # AT_HOME: 1 # # # Check the luminosity level from e.g. a connected LTR559 sensor. # # It could also be a Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, serial etc. sensor. # - action: sensor.ltr559.get_measurement # # # If it's below a certain threshold, turn on the lights. # # In this case, `light` is a parameter returned by the previous response, # # so we can directly access it here through the `${}` context operator. # # ${light} in this case is equivalent to ${context["light"]} or # # ${output["light"]}. # - if ${int(light or 0) < 110}: # - action: light.hue.on # # # Say a welcome home message # - action: tts.mimic3.say # args: # text: Welcome home # # # Start the music # - action: music.mpd.play ### ### # # Procedure that will be execute when you walk outside your home. # # procedure.outside_home: # # Unset the db variable AT_HOME # - action: variable.unset # args: # name: AT_HOME # # # Stop the music # - action: music.mpd.stop # # # Turn off the lights # - action: light.hue.off ### ### # # Procedures can also take optional arguments. The example below shows a # # generic procedure that broadcasts measurements from a sensor through an # MQTT broker. # # # A listener on this topic can react to an `MQTTMessageEvent` and, for # # example, store the event on a centralized storage. # # # # See the event hook section below for a sample hook that listens for messages # # sent by other clients using this procedure. # # procedure.send_sensor_data(name, value): # - action: mqtt.send_message # args: # topic: platypush/sensors # host: my-mqtt-broker # port: 1883 # msg: # name: ${name} # value: ${value} # source: ${Config.get("device_id")} ### ## ------------------- ## Event hook examples ## ------------------- # Event hooks are procedures that are run when a certain condition is met. # # Check the documentation of your configured backends and plugins to see which # events they can trigger, and check https://docs.platypush.tech/events.html # for the full list of available events with their schemas. # # Just like procedures, event hooks can be defined either using the YAML # syntax, or in Python snippets in your `scripts` folder. # # A YAML event hook consists of two parts: an `if` field that specifies on # which event the hook will be triggered (type and attribute values), and a # `then` field that uses the same syntax as procedures to specify a list of # actions to execute when the event is matched. ### # # This example is a hook that reacts when an `MQTTMessageEvent` is received on # # a topic named `platypush/sensor` (see `send_sensor_data` example from the # # procedures section). # # # # It will store the event on a centralized Postgres database. # # # # Note that, for this event to be triggered, the application must first # # subscribe to the `platypush/sensor` topic - e.g. by adding `platypush/sensor` # # to the active subscriptions in the `mqtt` configurations. # # event.hook.OnSensorDataReceived: # if: # type: platypush.message.event.mqtt.MQTTMessageEvent # topic: platypush/sensor # then: # - action: db.insert # args: # engine: postgresql+pg8000://dbuser:dbpass@dbhost/dbname # table: sensor_data # records: # - name: ${msg["name"]} # value: ${msg["value"]} # source: ${msg["source"]} ### ### # # 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 for `SpeechRecognizedEvent`, # # 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 ### ### # # The WebhookEvent is a special type of event. It allows you to dynamically # # register a Web hook that can be invoked by other clients, if the HTTP backend # # is active. # # # # In this case, we are registering a hook under `/hook/test-hook` that accepts # # POST requests, gets the body of the requests and logs it. # # # # NOTE: Since Web hooks are supposed to be called by external (and potentially # # untrusted) parties, they aren't designed to use the standard authentication # # mechanism used by all other routes. # # # # By default they don't have an authentication layer at all. You are however # # advised to create your custom passphrase and checks the request's headers or # # query string for it - preferably one passphrase per endpoint. # # event.hook.WebhookExample: # if: # type: platypush.message.event.http.hook.WebhookEvent # hook: test-hook # method: POST # then: # # Check the token/passphrase # - if ${args.get('headers', {}).get('X-Token') == 'SECRET': # - action: logger.info # args: # msg: ${data} ### ### ------------- ### 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 ###
