getting/setting domoticz variables from Python Framework

[pipiche]

I understood that inside the python framework, we must not have any blocking code.
In such I expect that we cannot use GET and POST http command to retreive or set some Domoticz Variables.

Is there any way to get those ?

For instance I'm interested to have the
- Other Variables access ( like Timers and Reset Motion )
- Is Domoticz enable Hardware Creation ? As if it is not then when we will Create devices we will get errors ..


Thanks for hints and recommendations

As a workaround, here is a solution I wanted to share , which allow to read all Domoticz preferences.
This is written in a class so you can instance and object as described in the '__main__' part

I didn't test if updating one of this value will trigger annything on the Domoticz side ( like AcceptNewHardware)

Thanks to @Dnpwwo for opening the idea of including some sqllite code in the plugin.

Code: Select all

import sqlite3
#import Domoticz
import os.path

DOMOTICZ_DB = "domoticz.db"

class DomoticzDictionnary:

    def __init__(self, startupfolder):
        self.preferences = {}
        dbConn = None
        database = startupfolder + DOMOTICZ_DB

        # Check if we have access to the database, if not Error and return
        if not os.path.isfile( database ) :
            return
        dbConn = sqlite3.connect(database)
        for Key, nValue, sValue in dbConn.execute("SELECT Key, nValue, sValue FROM Preferences"):
            if not sValue:
                self.preferences[str(Key)] = str(nValue)
            else:
                self.preferences[str(Key)] = str(sValue)
        dbConn.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':

    domoDico = DomoticzDictionnary( "/var/lib/domoticz/")
    for key, value in  domoDico.preferences.items():
        print( "%s = %s" %(key,value))
