Zerynth Device Manager Client

Zerynth Device Manager can be used for orchestrating both MCU (micro-controller) and CPU (micro-processor) based devices. If you want to connect a MCU device like a RapsberryPI, a SBC (Single Board Computer) a PC and any Python application general, the ZDM Client Python Library is what you need.

id(pw)

Return the device id.

connect()

Connect your device to the ZDM. You must set device’s password first. It also enable your device to receive incoming messages.

set_password(pw)

Set the device password to pw. You can generate a password using the ZDM, creating a key for your device

publish_data(tag, payload)

Publish a message to the ZDM.

  • tag, is a label for the device’s data into your workspace. More than one device can publish message to the same tag
  • payload is the message payload, represented by a dictionary
