hc-client is a python client to be used with home_automation. Together these two components manage a home heating system :

• manage one or more temperature sensors
• set rules for each sensor according to time period in the week
• power one or more heaters with a regulation rule (hysteresis or proportional-integral)

hc-client can :

• work wth a zigbee network
  • receive temperature values from an autonomous sensor
  • read temperature values at given frequency from an always-on sensor
  • start or stop a heater plugged on a zigbee
• work with a 1-wire sensor available locally

hc-client will take instruction from heat_control (the django app from home_automation) to read from sensors and update heaters status.

Launch : sudo python setup.py install

Software :

• Python 2.7 or above (including 3.x)
• requests (package python-requests or python3-requests)
• pytz (package python-tz or python3-tz)
• dateutil (package python-dateutil or python3-dateutil)
• serial (package python-serial or python3-serial)
• python-xbee 2.1 Note : python-xbee v2.1 raise an error for packet size and this always occur when using an autonomous sensor. Modifying file /xbee/base.py line 277 and remplacing "raise ValueError" by "print" is recommended for stability
• python-enocean (git master after Aug 10 2015 or version superior to 0.21 if available)
