Description: # SenseMe
        Python Library for Haiku SenseMe app controlled fans/lights
        
        This library is useful to control Haiku SenseMe fans with light kits. I would expect it will probably also work with their lights.
        
        It might also be useful for controlling DIY projects as the protocol is very simple and would be easy to clone. And, if you were to use their API the Android and iOS apps may work to control DIY devices. A suggested idea would be to add an Arduino or Raspberry Pi and a relay or two to your own fan and use this or the Haiku Home app to control them. I've read that doing this sort of thing [with a resistor is a dangerous idea, so don't do that.](https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1263401)
        
        Sniffing the packets and documenting the protocol were the work of [Bruce](http://bruce.pennypacker.org/tag/senseme-plugin/). Much of the code was based on his work on making [an Indigo plugin](https://github.com/bpennypacker/SenseME-Indigo-Plugin)
        
        See [Issues](issues) for known issues or if you want to contribute but don't know where to start. Some easy fixes are labeled.
        
        I am not affiliated with Haiku Home or Big Ass Fans. Their support rep said this project seemed cool in it's infancy, and they even answered a technical question regarding the protocol for me, so hopefully they still approve.
        
        # Future
        Some ideas for future related projects and features:
        
         1. Plex plugin (dim the fans when the movie starts and light up when it is paused or ends? Yes, please!)
        
         2. Alexa / Google Home plugins (see REST API below)
        
         3. Store information in a database (sqlite, or even json, would be fine) rather than discovering each time.
        
         4. Track usage and temperatures
        
         5. Other automation system plugins
        
         6. REST API backend with a CLI client (a basic direct to fan command line client was added in 0.1.3)
        
         7. React or other web based client for the above API
        
         8. Docker image for the above
        
         9. Use protocol to control other devices by attaching an Arduino or Pi
        
         10. Discover the rest of the protocol. (Run strings on the apps and some packet sniffing.)
        
         11. More examples
        
         12. ~~Command Line Client~~ Basic client added in 0.1.3, see [SenseMe CLI](#cli) below
         
         13. Unit Tests
        
        
        # Usage
            from senseme import discover
            # discover devices, returns list of SenseMe devices
            devices = discover()
            fan = devices[0]
            repr(fan)
        
        SenseMe(name='Living Room Fan', ip='192.168.1.50', model='FAN,HAIKU', series='HSERIES', mac='20:F8:5E:E3:AB:00')
        
        
            # Statically assign the fan? Probably not, but you would do it this way:
            from senseme import SenseMe
            fan = SenseMe('192.168.1.50', 'Living Room Fan', model='FAN')
            # or, this might be easier
            fan = SenseMe(name="Living Room Fan")
        
        Control the fan:
        
            # Turn the light off / on
            fan.light_powered_on = False
            fan.light_powered_on = True
            # or, if you just want to toggle it
            light_status = fan.light_toggle()
        
            # Increase light level by 2 levels
            fan.inc_brightness(2)
        
            # Get Light level
            print(fan.brightness)
        
            # Fan Speeds
            fan.fan_powered_on = True
            fan.fan_powered_on = False
            print(fan.speed)
        
            # whoosh mode
            fan.whoosh = True
        
            # want an increasing light effect? Do this.
            # But, really, probably don't, I don't think Haiku intended strobe effects.
            # I'm not responsible if you make a strobe light and break the fan or worse
            for intensity in range(1,16):
                fan.brightness = intensity
                time.sleep(1)
        
            # export details to json / xml / str(dict)
            fan.json
            fan.xml
            fan.dict  # nested dict
            fan.flat_dict  # flattened
        
            # Listen for broadcasts, useful for debugging,
            # wouldn't suggest using it for anything else
            fan.listen()
        
        # SenseMe CLI <a id="cli"></a>
        In version 0.1.3 a script was added to control HaikuHome SenseMe devices from a command line.
        
        Set the following environment variables:
        
            SENSEME_DEFAULT_FAN_IP
            SENSEME_DEFAULT_FAN_NAME
        
        Then run `senseme_cli` with one of the following options.
        
            fan x           - set speed to x (0-7)
            fan on|off      - fan on/off
            light x         - set light brightness to x
            light on|off    - light on/off
            whoosh [on|off] - whoosh mode on/off
        
        # Requirements
        Python 3.6 is required to use this library.
        SenseMe devices communicate on UDP port 31415 using broadcast and unicast traffic. Any firewall will have to allow this through.
