Python 3 helper service
Posted: Thursday 29 June 2017 17:00
Hi all,
I'm developing a helper service in Python 3.
It's to run all of the network and internet calls I use for Domoticz.
Originally these were handled directly by several Lua scripts, but I started getting more and more timeout errors - script running for more than 10 seconds.
My inspiration was Egregius' 'pass2php'.
Differences are - Python3 running continuously with a socket listener for Domoticz data, and almost no switching. That is left to Domoticz, as noted in Lost's post http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 13#p139710
Functionality integrated so far -
