attiny-controller

This daemon communicates to the ATtiny microcontroller attached to
Cacophony Project Raspberry Pi based devices. It is responsible for
controller the device on/off window.

DBUS API

attiny-controller exposes a simple API on the system DBUS. It listens
on org.cacophony.ATtiny and exposes objects its interface at
/org/cacophony/ATtiny. The following methods are available:

• IsPresent() -> bool: returns true if an ATtiny was detected.
• StayOnFor(minutes): sets a number of minutes the device should
  stay on for (overiding any configured on/off window).

Here’s an example of how to call the IsPresent API from the command line:

dbus-send \
    --system \
    --type=method_call \
    --print-reply \
    --dest=org.cacophony.ATtiny \
    /org/cacophony/ATtiny \
    org.cacophony.ATtiny.IsPresent
