Interfaces

Web user interface

TaliaBee provides an easy-to-use, mobile-friendly web user interface.

Please see the GUI documentation for common usages.

Application programming interface

TaliaBee provides an API for developers. The developers can monitor and control TaliaBee's I/O through API using their favorite programming languages. Therefore, you don't need to know a specific programming language to use TaliaBee. You can communicate through API even without writing any code.

Using curl to set the relay output #14

curl -s "http://127.0.0.1/api/ro/14/set"

Please see the API documentation for common usages.

Python interface

TaliaBee provides a Python interface for Pythonistas too. Python TaliaBeeIO Module can be used to monitor and to control the I/O pins of the TaliaBee box through API.

>>> from taliabeeio import TaliaBeeIO
>>> io = TaliaBeeIO()
>>>
>>> # read from the analog input 3
>>> print(io.ai3)
0
>>> # write to the analog output 4
>>> io.ao4 = 250
>>>
>>> # set the relay output 13
>>> io.ro13 = True
>>>
>>> # read the temperature
>>> print(io.temperature)
37.125

Please see Python TaliaBeeIO Module project page for common usages.
