Example

device_id = 02839203

unit_measure = 1

time_zone = 37

device1 = lacrosse(device_id,unit_measure,time_zone)

Get Observations

device1.getObservation(n)

Where n is the number of observations from the most recent one

Returned Dictionary

The API returns an array of dict where each row is a measure and the dict has the following variables:

• linkquality: It's the RF signal strength of the device to the hub
• lowbattery: 0 or 1. It's a signal
• ambient_temp: it is the temperature measure by the device in the unit specified
• humidity: Percentage of the relative humidity
• utctime: Time in UTC
• device_type: returns the model
• timestamp: returns the time of the observation on the specified timezone
• probe_temp: if a probe is connected, returns the temperature measured

Example of Usage

from pylacrossapi import lacrosse

device_id = 02839203
unit_measure = 1
time_zone = 37
device1 = lacrosse(device_id,unit_measure,time_zone)

obs=device1.getObservation(3)
#Returns the last three observation

print obs[1]["ambient_temp"]
#Prints the second observation Temperature`

pylacrossapi's Issues

Support for Python 3?

Hello @concongo !

I am very interested in using your module in Python 3. In fact, I already got it working with very minimal changes! I am hoping I could convince you to make those changes, and promote them to PyPi.

Line 1 and 2:
from urllib import request
from urllib import parse

Line 63:
data = parse.urlencode(params)

Line 66:
req = request.Request(self.__url_base + '?' + data, None, headers)

Line 68:
req = request.Request(self.__url_base, None, headers)

Line 70:
page = request.urlopen(req).read()

If you don't have the time to make these changes would you be willing to let me make a pull request and attempt to get the changes published to PyPi?

Thank you so much for your time!

Edit: I have made a pull request here - #2

Upload most recent changes to PyPi?

Hello concongo,

Thanks for your responsiveness with my pull requests!

I am hoping to use this module with a project that requires it to be available to pip at the time my code is loaded into the platform.

I see you merged my pull request to get rid of the limit on Python < 3.5, but I don't believe those changes have been uploaded to PyPi so pip is able to install without issue.

Do you have any availability to package the latest changes and upload them to pip to remove the limitation?

Thanks again for your support!
