Announcing beta for enabling raspberry pi direct-connected devices

[TAustin]

Here is an update:

Some important issues with the core SDK have been resolved that significantly improve the reliability of Raspberry-Pi-based device apps using the direct connection API - both during the onboarding process and with long-running device apps. A number of other fixes and improvements have been made to my package and I’m ready to declare this out of beta.

I can now support Pi Zero W and Raspberry Pi OS Lite environments in addition to Pi Models 3 & 4 with the full OS. There has also been limited testing with 64bit Raspberry Pi OS, although the Python API wrapper is currently limited to 32 bit OS.

If you’ve tried this package before and run into problems I’d encourage you to download the latest package and give it another shot.

I also now have a fully-functioning DSC security system integration application built upon this package using alarmserver. See this post for more information:

RE: Direct-connect version of alarmserver setup Hi all - I’ve posted here previously regarding this subject, so wanted to provide this update: I now have a github repository with all required files to implement alarmserver with direct-connected devices: https://github.com/toddaustin07/DC_alarmserver Read through the README first to decide whether or not this is something you want to try. No one else has tested this yet besides me, so please be patient if you have any issues. It’s working great for me, but we all know how that goes… If you have a problem, question or suggestion, please open an issue on github and I will promptly respond and work with you feverishly to get it resolved! You get a bonus alarm system GUI you can optionally use on your PI!: [screenshot3]
