pyenergenie | python interface to the Energenie line

pyenergenie is a Python library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Raspberry Pi applications. pyenergenie has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Energenie devices (both the green button devices, and the newer MiHome range) can be controlled and monitored by this Python library on a Raspberry Pi. With it you can turn sockets on and off, and monitor energy usage. There are two ways to control Energenie devices from a Raspberry Pi. One of their boards maps 4 GPIO's to transmit 4 standard messages. For that board, use this code from Ben Nuttall and Amy Mather: Ben and Amy's code. The second board, the ENER314-RT board, is a full radio that is programmable from the SPI interface of the Raspberry Pi. For that board, please use this code, which now supports all models of Raspberry Pi, and all devices from Energenie (including the old green button devices and the new MiHome monitor devices). The Energenie product line uses the HopeRF radio transciever, and the OpenThings protocol from Sentec. Energenie have built a RaspberryPi add-on board that interfaces to the HopeRF RFM69, and allows both control and monitoring of their products from a Raspberry Pi. Energenie have some (old) sample code written in C to control and monitor their devices, but this package is now considered to be far superior. Energenie have been very kind in supporting this work by loaning devices to help with the testing of this code. This python library uses a 'zero install' strategy, by embedding everything that is needed in once place. In theory, you can just press the DownloadZip button, unzip the code, and run it, and it will work. (None of that sudo apt-get install nonsense!). This code should work with both Python 2 and Python 3. It has been tested with both, but note that ongoing development occurs in Python 3 and the support for Python2 is disappearing gradually.
