[Freevo-devel] Help writing plugin

[Ryan Roth]

I've been working on a home automation plugin for freevo and I need a 
bit of help.  I have the code mostelty done, but I'm having trouble 
making submenus.  What I would like is a menu with a list of rooms, then 
a sub menu with items in those rooms, then a sub menu with options to 
control the devices in the room.  Here is my code so far, please keep in 
mind I'm new to python:

#**** local_confg.py ****
plugin.activate('automatedhouse')
HA_ITEMS = [ ("Living Room",(
              ("Corner Light",(
                      ("On","heyu on A1"),
                      ("Off","heyu off A1"),
                      ("Dim","command code goes here")
                      )),
              ("Ceiling Fan",(
                      ("On","command"),
                      ("Off","command")
                      )),
              ("TV",(
                      ("On","command"),
                      ("Off","command")
                      ))
                      )),
           ("Bedroom",(
              ("Ceiling Lights",(
                      ("On","command"),
                      ("Off","command"),
                      ("Dim","command")
                      )),
              ("Table Lamp",(
                      ("On","command"),
                      ("Off","command"),
                      ("Dim","command")
                      ))
                      )) ]
#**** automatedhome.py ****
import os
import sys
import menu
import config
from gui import ConfirmBox
from item import Item
from plugin import MainMenuPlugin
class HomeAutomationItem(Item):
     def __init__(self, parent):
             Item.__init__(self,parent)
             self.name = _( 'Home Automation' )
     def config(self):
             return [('HA_ITEMS',
              [ ("Living Room", "Corner Light","On,Off,Dim"),
                ("Bedroom", "Ceiling Lights","On,Off,Dim") ],
             "Home automation items")]
     def actions(self):
             items = [(self.createMenu, _('Home Automation'))]
             return items
     def createMenu(self, arg=None, menuw=None):
             ha_menu_items=[]
             for room in config.HA_ITEMS:
                     ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(room[0])]
                     for device in room[1]:
                             ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(device[0])]
                             for control in device[1]:
                                     
ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(control[0],lambda arg=None, menuw=None: 
os.system(control[1]))]
             ha_menu=menu.Menu("Home Automation", ha_menu_items)
             menuw.pushmenu(ha_menu)
             menuw.refresh()
class PluginInterface(MainMenuPlugin):
 def items(self, parent):
     return [ HomeAutomationItem(parent) ]
