python-fsapi

Python implementation of the Frontier Silicon API for digital radios and streaming devices.

• This project was started in order to embed Frontier Silicon devices in Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io/)
• Inspired by:
  • https://github.com/flammy/fsapi/
  • https://github.com/tiwilliam/fsapi
  • https://github.com/zhelev/python-fsapi

The current fork has been developed to run on QPython, to allow scripted control of digital radios from an Android phone. The @zhelev version was dependent on lxml, which does not work on QPython as it relies on native libraries that have not been ported to Android. This fork uses the standard xml.etree library, which is packaged with QPython.

Type checking annotations have been added for use with mypy, to make the code more robust and to make it easier to avoid errors in the porting process from lxml to etree.

Required python libs:

• requests (install on QPython using pip3)
