Control temi using Python scripts over MQTT.

pytemi

Control temi using Python scripts over MQTT.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• Connect app installed on temi
• MQTT broker. Free brokers for testing:
  • Eclipse
  • Mosquitto
  • HiveMQ

Setup

Clone this repository and install all dependencies with pip:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

For Linux users, there's a script that will create a Python virtual environment (assuming it's installed) and install all dependencies:

./setup.sh

Usage

Make sure the robot is connected to an MQTT broker via the Connect app.

Edit the sample.py script and adjust the parameters appropriately, then run:

python3 sample.py

Sample Script

Notice:

• Please change MQTT_HOST to your own server to make the connection stable.
• Please change TEMI_SERIAL to your own numbers. You can find it behind the robot Temi.

import pytemi as temi
import time  

MQTT_HOST = "test.mosquitto.org"
MQTT_PORT = 1883
TEMI_SERIAL = "01234567890"

# connect to the MQTT broker
mqtt_client = temi.connect(MQTT_HOST, MQTT_PORT)

# create robot object
robot = temi.Robot(mqtt_client, TEMI_SERIAL)

# concern for the delay while using test server  
time.sleep(5)  

# command the robot to speak
robot.tts("Going to the Entrance")

# command the robot to go to a saved location
robot.goto("entrance")
