Adding a Console Menu

You can add a console menu to your application using the FrameworkMenu class. You can use the console menu to add a console interface with the following commands to your application when it is run in interactive mode:

Command	Description
`stat`	Display application statistics.
`help`	Display the available commands.
`extend <id>`	Extend enrollment for assembly id.
`eval <stmnts>`	Evaluate the Python statements specified by stmnts.
`cancel`	Cancel any pending enrollment.
`open <id>`	Open enrollment for assembly id.
`service`	Send Service and DRUM messages. Service messages are used for discovery in managed networks, and DRUM messages are used for discovery in ISI networks.
`create <id>`	Create enrollment for assembly id.
`list`	List name and index for all device datapoints.
`factory`	Reset ISI configuration to the factory default.
`leave <id>`	Leave the enrollment for assembly id.
`wink`	Simulate the receipt of a Wink message.
`exit`	Exit the application.
`is_connected <id>`	Evaluate if assembly id is connected.

To add a console menu to an IzoT Python application, create an instance of the FrameworkMenu() class, passing in the framework parameter, and then invoke the execute() method when a keyboard input is detected. The execute() method returns True if an Exit command is detected.

Example

# Add a default menu
framework_menu = FrameworkMenu(framework)
 :
  
# Run the application
try:
    done = False
    while not done:
        app.service(0.100)    # Allow the IzoT stack time to service its events
 
    if kbhit(0.0):            # Test for user input
        done = framework_menu.execute()
 
finally:
    app.stop()                # Stop the IzoT application
