BLE library for the Apple Notification Center

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>_.

Installing from PyPI

.. note:: This library is not available on PyPI yet. Install documentation is included as a standard element. Stay tuned for PyPI availability!

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-ble_apple_notification_center/>_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-apple-notification-center

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-apple-notification-center

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ble-apple-notification-center

Usage Example

.. code::python

"""
This example solicits that apple devices that provide notifications connect to it, initiates
pairing, and prints existing notifications.
"""

import adafruit_ble
from adafruit_ble.advertising.standard import SolicitServicesAdvertisement
import adafruit_ble_apple_notification_center as ancs

radio = adafruit_ble.BLERadio()
a = SolicitServicesAdvertisement()
a.solicited_services.append(ancs.AppleNotificationCenterService)
radio.start_advertising(a)

print("Waiting for connection")

while not radio.connected:
    pass

print("Connected")

for connection in radio.connections:
    if ancs.AppleNotificationCenterService not in connection:
        continue

    if not connection.paired:
        connection.pair()
        print("Paired")

    ans = connection[ancs.AppleNotificationCenterService]
    # Wait for the notifications to load.
    while len(ans.active_notifications) == 0:
        pass
    for notification_id in ans.active_notifications:
        notification = ans.active_notifications[notification_id]
        print(notification.app_id, notification.title)
