Open Ikea Tradfri

This is a Python class to communicate with the IKEA Tradfri (Trådfri) ZigBee-based Gateway.

This is an implementation based on analysis I found here:
https://bitsex.net/software/2017/coap-endpoints-on-ikea-tradfri/

A lot of work was also put in by Paulus Schoutsen (@balloob) who took the initial code concept into this class library.

In order to use the code, you first need to install libcoap (https://github.com/obgm/libcoap) as per the following instructions:

apt-get install libtool

git clone --recursive https://github.com/obgm/libcoap.git
cd libcoap
git checkout dtls
git submodule update --init --recursive
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-documentation --disable-shared
make
sudo make install

If you want to test this library stand-alone:

python3 -i -m openikeatradfri IP KEY

where:
IP is the IP-address to your gateway
KEY is written on the back of your IKEA Tradfri Gateway

Examples of commands in the prompt:

List all lights: lights
Set brighness of item 1 to 50 in lights list: lights[1].set_light_brightness(50)

Docker

There is a Docker script available to bootstrap a dev environment. Run ./script/dev_docker and you will build and launch a container that is ready to go. After launching, follow the above instructions to test the library stand-alone.
