# A pure python client to connect to a pilight daemon
[](https://travis-ci.org/DavidLP/pilight)
[](https://coveralls.io/github/DavidLP/pilight?branch=master)
This client interfaces with the `pilight-daemon` to send and receive RF codes (https://www.pilight.org/).
Sending and receiving is implemented in an asychronous way. A callback function can be defined
that reacts on received data. Automatic acknowledge if the send data was transmitted by the pilight-daemon
is implemented.
All `pilight-send` commands can be used by this client (https://wiki.pilight.org/doku.php/psend).
The API is mentioned here: https://manual.pilight.org/en/api.
# Installation
The latest release is hosted on PyPi. Thus for installation type:
```
pip install pilight

Otherwise download the code and
```
python setup.py install
```
You can run the unit tests to check the installation
```

from pilight import pilight
pilight_connection = pilight.Client() # Connect to the pilight-daemon at localhost:5000
pilight_connection.send_code(data={"protocol": [ "kaku_switch" ], # https://manual.pilight.org/en/api
"id": 1,
"unit": 0,
"off": 1
})
```
