This repository hosts all the code used to interface the hardware devices to the IoT frameworks.

The code in the hardware folder contains the implementation of framework-agnostic handler classes. These classes are then used in the hass (for Home Assistant) and wt (for WebThings) to implement device that can communicate with the respective frameworks.

• Create a new virtual environment: virtualenv venv
• Activate it: source venv/bin/activate
• Install the dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Each framework folder contains a config.py file that contains recurring configuration options.

• Create/edit the configuration file
• Make sure the hub is reachable and the framework is on
• Make sure your MQTT broker is on and reachable
• Connect your hardware devices
• Start the integration: python $DEVICE.py

Each framework folder contains a siisthing.py file. This file implements the SIISThing class, which is used by every device. It contains the data structures shared by every device handler, such as an MQTT client. To implement a new device, follow these steps:

1. Create a new hardware handler in the hardware/ folder
2. Create a new device handler in the relevant framework folder, inheriting from the SIISThing class and containing an instance of your hardware handler

Because the hardware iterfacing is decorrelated from the framework interfacing, adding support for a new framework only requires writing a class that uses this framework's API and contains an instance of the hardware handler.
