Some more detailed info on the configuration files

As of Version 1.5 the old conf format will still be valid but will be moved out of the docs since it's deprecated now for some time.

etc/smarthome.yaml

Upon installation you will need to create this file and specify your location.

# smarthome.yaml
# look e.g. at http://www.mapcoordinates.net/de
lat: '52.52'
lon: '13.40'
elev: 36
tz: Europe/Berlin

etc/plugin.yaml

Upon installation you will need to create this file and configure the plugins and their attributes. An example is shown below

# plugin.yaml
knx:
    class_name: KNX
    class_path: plugins.knx
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 6720

# send_time = 600 # update date/time every 600 seconds, default none
# time_ga = 1/1/1 # default none
# date_ga = 1/1/2 # default none
ow:
    class_name: OneWire
    class_path: plugins.onewire

visu:
    class_name: WebSocket
    class_path: plugins.visu_websocket

smartvisu:
    class_name: SmartVisu
    class_path: plugins.visu_smartvisu
    smartvisu_dir: /var/www/html/smartVISU

cli:
    class_name: CLI
    class_path: plugins.cli
    ip: 0.0.0.0
    update: 'True'

sql:
    class_name: SQL
    class_path: plugins.sqlite

etc/logic.yaml

In the logic.conf you specify your logics and when they will be run. An example is shown below

# etc/logic.yaml
AtSunset:
    filename: sunset.py
    crontab: sunset

items/

This directory contains one or more item configuration files. The filename does not matter, except it has to end with '.yaml'.

# items/global.yaml
global:
    sun:
        type: bool
        attribute: foo

logics/

This directory contains your logic files. Simple or sophisitcated python scripts. You could address your smarthome item by sh.item.path. If you want to read an item call sh.item.path() or to set an item sh.item.path(Value).

# logics/sunset.py
if sh.global.sun():       # if sh.global.sun() == True:
    sh.gloabl.sun(False)  # set it to False
