PyHelvarnet

Im doing this project to improve my python skills, so, I will try to keep the library working on each commit.

Though, that does not mean I will make it backwards compatible with previous versions.

---

This is a library that allows communication with Helvar™ compatible products

I tested it a bit on a real device, and is done following the Helvar™ documentation on the protocol.

You can just add the pyhelvarnet.py file to your program folder and use it like this:

---

import pyhelvarnet
# Create the object configuring the IP and port of the Helvar™ device
dalirouter = pyhelvarnet.HelvarNetClient("192.168.0.200", 50000)

# Print the result of the query (subnet, device)
print(dalirouter.QueryDeviceIsDisabled(1,1))

# Recall on group 10, block 1, scene 6 with 5 seconds of fade
dalirouter.RecallSceneOnGroup(10,1,6,500)

---

There's three kind of methods on the class:

1. Query methods: Allows us to get information from the device
2. Control methods: Allows us to control the device outputs (Dali, DMX, etc.)
3. Configuration methods: Allows us to change some basic configuration, like the time or location.

---

Queries return values with the response of the device.

Control commands does not return anything the same as configuration commands.
