Server (Daemon) reference

The server (RPC server or daemon as we sometimes refer to it) is the component that opens up a connection to the COM port and sends the correct AT command to the board. You can control it with some arguments

When you use our installer it installs this as a service. If you run the code without installing (or you turn the service off for some reason) you can run it as relaykeysd.py or relaykeysd.exe

--noserial

Run the daemon and dont try and connect to hardware. If you are on linux/MacOS you can fake a serial port following these tips. If you are on Windows just fix a COM port in the config file or use the --dev option - just choose a non-existent COM port

--dev

Force the daemon to use a COM port rather than auto detecting one.

e.g.

python relaykeysd.py --noserial --dev=COM7

For more info see here

--debug

Sets a more verbose debugging output on the console.

--pidfile=file

Give a pidfile for the daemon to crate - or link to one.

Default: pidfile

--logfile=logfile

File to use as a log file for the debugging messages.

Default: logfile

--config=configfile

File to use as a config file. For more info see here

Default: relaykeys.cfg

--ble_mode=True|False

Use the daemon in wireless (ble_mode) or wired mode.

Default: false
