This client interfaces with the pilight-daemon to send and receive RF codes (https://www.pilight.org/).
Sending and receiving is implemented in an asychronous way. A callback function can be defined that reacts on received data. Automatic acknowledge if the send data was transmitted by the pilight-daemon is implemented.
All pilight-send commands can be used by this client (https://wiki.pilight.org/doku.php/psend).
The API is mentioned here: https://manual.pilight.org/en/api.
The latest release is hosted on PyPi. Thus for installation type:
pip install pilight
Otherwise download the code and
python setup.py install
