Features Connection

Connection

Manage the daemon connection lifecycle — subscribe to events, unsubscribe, and disconnect cleanly.

Actions

connection.subscribe

Subscribe to one or more event patterns. The daemon pushes events matching the subscribed patterns to the client in real-time.

Parameter	Type	Description
events	string[]	Event patterns to subscribe to (supports wildcards)

Event pattern examples:

• screencast.* — all screencast events
• update.* — update-related events
• notification.* — notification events
• rule.* — rule engine events
• agent.* — agent messaging events

deskbrid subscribe '["screencast.*", "notification.*"]'

{"type": "connection.subscribe", "events": ["screencast.*", "notification.*"]}

The daemon will push events as they occur:

{"type": "event", "event": "screencast.started", "data": {"output_path": "/tmp/rec.mp4"}}

connection.unsubscribe

Unsubscribe from one or more event patterns.

Parameter	Type	Description
events	string[]	Event patterns to unsubscribe from

{"type": "connection.unsubscribe", "events": ["screencast.*"]}

connection.disconnect

Disconnect from the daemon cleanly.

deskbrid disconnect

{"type": "connection.disconnect"}

No response is sent — the connection is closed immediately.

Python Example

from deskbrid import Deskbrid
client = Deskbrid()

# Subscribe to events
client.connection_subscribe(events=["screencast.*", "update.*"])

# Later, unsubscribe
client.connection_unsubscribe(events=["screencast.*"])

# Disconnect
client.connection_disconnect()

Current Status
