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
