Examples

This section contains a few extra examples.

Simple example

The following example shows the definition of a rectangle device, getting its width and height from other devices:

.. literalinclude:: ../examples/rectangle.py

A rectangle device is configured using 2 device properties, e.g.:

• WidthAttribute: geometry/point/a/x
• HeightAttribute: geometry/point/b/y

The remote attributes are expected to push either change or periodic events.

A rectangle device exposes 3 float attributes:

• Width
• Height
• Area

Those attributes will be updated as soon as a corresponding event is received. They also pushes events, allowing other high-level devices to react to their changes.

Real-world example
