📋 Command Workflows

Satellite Registration Process

Server enters registration mode (60-second window)
Satellite sends registration command with MAC/room/alias
Server validates and creates registration file
Server assigns satellite ID and responds
Registration mode automatically expires

Satellite Connection Process

Satellite sends hello command with credentials
Server validates against registration files
Server assigns audio stream ports
Connection established with session ID
Heartbeat monitoring begins

Wakeword Detection Workflow

Satellite detects wakeword and pauses detection
Wakeword command sent with confidence/volume data
Server arbitrates between multiple satellites
Highest volume satellite selected for conversation
Recording session begins with conversation ID

🛠️ Usage Examples

Server Setup

from trixy_core.application import create_application_container
from trixy_core.config import DeploymentMode

app = create_application_container(DeploymentMode.SERVER)
network_manager = app.get_network_manager()

# Start server with default ports
network_manager.start_server(
    command_port=2101,
    audio_ports={
        'input': 2102,
        'output': 2103, 
        'music': 2104
    }
)

# Enter registration mode
server = network_manager.server_handler
server.enter_registration_mode(timeout_seconds=60)

Client Setup

app = create_application_container(DeploymentMode.CLIENT)
network_manager = app.get_network_manager()

# Configure satellite identity
network_manager.configure_satellite(
    room_id="kitchen",
    alias="main_device",
    mac_address="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"
)

# Connect to server
success = network_manager.connect_to_server("192.168.1.100", 2101)

Sending Commands

from trixy_core.network.cmd import create_wakeword_detection

# Create and send wakeword detection
cmd = create_wakeword_detection(
    wakeword_id="trixy",
    satellite_id="sat_kitchen_001", 
    speaker_id="user123",
    confidence=0.85,
    volume=0.7
)

network_manager.send_command(cmd)

🔒 Security & Validation

Message Security

MD5 checksum validation for all messages
Optional encryption support (Fernet symmetric)
MAC address validation for satellite authentication
Session ID tracking for connection security

Input Validation

Comprehensive command validation with custom exceptions
MAC address format verification
Confidence/volume range validation (0.0-1.0)
Port range validation for network configuration

Error Handling

Custom exception hierarchy for different error types
Graceful degradation on connection loss

Comprehensive logging with pprint() pattern

📊 Monitoring & Debugging

Status Information

# Network manager status
status = network_manager.get_status()
print(f"Active connections: {status['active_connections']}")
print(f"Server running: {status['server_running']}")

# Connection details
connections = server.get_all_connections()
for conn_id, info in connections.items():
    print(f"Connection {conn_id}: {info['bytes_received']} bytes")
