A simple interface to DALI emergency lighting, using python-dali.
Generates plain text reports from the command line, or emails HTML formatted reports.
Can issue some basic emergency lighting control commands (Inhibit, Rest, Reset, Start Function Test, Start Duration Test and Stop Test) from the command line, targetted at a single device, a whole DALI bus or a whole site.
Currently assumes the DALI bus is connected via daliserver, but should be simple to adapt to other interfaces if necessary.
Configuration is in TOML. An abbreviated example:
[haymakers]
name = "Haymakers"
email-to = ["steve@assorted.org.uk"]
email-from = "Fire Safety <steve@assorted.org.uk>"
[haymakers.buses]
main.hostname = "icarus.haymakers.i.individualpubs.co.uk"
main.port = 55825
[[haymakers.gear]]
bus = "main"
address = 4
name = "Public bar entrance (exit sign)"
[[haymakers.gear]]
bus = "main"
address = 6
name = "Gents urinals"
[[haymakers.gear]]
bus = "main"
address = 9
name = "Cellar stairs"
First ensure poetry is installed, then clone this repository.
Run poetry install to install the various dependencies.
Check all sites with a verbose report:
poetry run emcon -v check
Inhibit emergency lighting on a whole bus at a site:
poetry run emcon inhibit haymakers/main
Start a duration test on a particular emergency unit:
poetry run emcon start-duration-test haymakers/main/4
Send reports by email:
poetry run emcon email
