Python: Asynchronous client for Elgato Key Lights

Asynchronous Python client for Elgato Key Lights.

About

This package allows you to control and monitor Elgato Key Light devices programmatically. It is mainly created to allow third-party programs to automate the behavior of an Elgato Key Light device.

Installation

pip install elgato

Usage

import asyncio

from elgato import Elgato, State, Info


async def main():
    """Show example on controlling your Elgato Key Light device."""
    async with Elgato("elgato-key-light.local") as elgato:
        info: Info = await elgato.info()
        print(info)

        state: State = await elgato.state()
        print(state)

        # Toggle the Key Light
        await elgato.light(on=(not state.on))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Changelog & Releases

This repository keeps a change log using GitHub's releases functionality. The format of the log is based on Keep a Changelog.

• MAJOR: Incompatible or major changes.
• MINOR: Backwards-compatible new features and enhancements.
• PATCH: Backwards-compatible bugfixes and package updates.

Contributing

This is an active open-source project. We are always open to people who want to use the code or contribute to it.

We've set up a separate document for our contribution guidelines.

Thank you for being involved! :heart_eyes:

Setting up development environment

In case you'd like to contribute, a Makefile has been included to ensure a quick start.

make venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
make dev

Now you can start developing, run make without arguments to get an overview of all make goals that are available (including description):
