pyhifiberry

Python library to interface with Hifiberry OS API (audiocontrol2). There are two APIs available:

• REST
• socketio

This package is targeting mainly the needs for a hifiberry integration for Home assistant.

Usage example of the socketio API

Runs for 100 secs and prints artist name if metadata events occure.

import asyncio
from pyhifiberry.audiocontrol2sio import Audiocontrol2SIO

def metadata_callback(metadata):
    print(metadata['artist'])

async def main():
    api = await Audiocontrol2SIO.connect(<HIFIBERRY_IP>, <HIFIBERRY_PORT>)
    api.metadata.add_callback(metadata_callback)
    await asyncio.sleep(100)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())
