I`ve got an X728 ups hat and is working right, using the .sh provided by geekworm. What I expect next is to write some code make the .sh to send an email when power is down or up, or when batteries are low (almost 3V) and is going to send the shutdown signal. I am a newby in python, so any help will be welcome. What I have clear:

    from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
    import email.mime.application
    import smtplib
    
    #replace the next three lines with your credentials
    from_email_addr = 'Sender_Email_ID@gmail.com'
    from_email_password = 'Password'
    to_email_addr = 'Receiver_Email_ID@gmail.com'
    
     #Create the Message
                msg = MIMEMultipart()
                msg[ 'Subject'] = 'POWER UP!!'#OR DOWN OR IS GOING TO SHUTDOWN. HOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS?
                msg['From'] = from_email_addr
                msg['To'] = to_email_addr

from x728.sh (what appears to be x728bat.py)

#X728 Battery voltage & precentage reading
#!/bin/bash

    sudo sed -e '/shutdown/ s/^#*/#/' -i /etc/rc.local

    echo '#!/usr/bin/env python
import struct
import smbus
import sys
import time


def readVoltage(bus):

     address = 0x36
     read = bus.read_word_data(address, 2)
     swapped = struct.unpack("<H", struct.pack(">H", read))[0]
     voltage = swapped * 1.25 /1000/16
     return voltage


def readCapacity(bus):

     address = 0x36
     read = bus.read_word_data(address, 4)
     swapped = struct.unpack("<H", struct.pack(">H", read))[0]
     capacity = swapped/256
     return capacity


bus = smbus.SMBus(1) # 0 = /dev/i2c-0 (port I2C0), 1 = /dev/i2c-1 (port I2C1)

while True:

 print "******************"
 print "Voltage:%5.2fV" % readVoltage(bus)

 print "Battery:%5i%%" % readCapacity(bus)

 if readCapacity(bus) == 100:

         print "Battery FULL"

 if readCapacity(bus) < 20:


         print "Battery LOW"
 print "******************"
 time.sleep(2)
' > /home/pi/x728bat.py
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/x728bat.py

So, if I write some code as

#X728 Battery voltage & precentage reading
#!/bin/bash

    sudo sed -e '/shutdown/ s/^#*/#/' -i /etc/rc.local

    echo '#!/usr/bin/env python

     address = 0x36
     read = bus.read_word_data(address, 2)
     swapped = struct.unpack("<H", struct.pack(">H", read))[0]
     voltage = swapped * 1.25 /1000/16
     return voltage


def readCapacity(bus):

     address = 0x36
     read = bus.read_word_data(address, 4)
     swapped = struct.unpack("<H", struct.pack(">H", read))[0]
     capacity = swapped/256
     return capacity


bus = smbus.SMBus(1) # 0 = /dev/i2c-0 (port I2C0), 1 = /dev/i2c-1 (port I2C1)

while True:

 print "******************"
 print "Voltage:%5.2fV" % readVoltage(bus)

 print "Battery:%5i%%" % readCapacity(bus)

 if readCapacity(bus) == 100:

         print "Battery FULL"

 if readCapacity(bus) < 20:

 if readCapacity(bus) < 22

                msg = MIMEMultipart()

                msg['To'] = to_email_addr

  • Have you had a look at the x728bat.py program to see how that reads the voltage and x728pld.py to see about the status? Program names taken from raspberrypiwiki.com/X728-Software

  • I edited after some changes in x728bat.py and x728pld.py, but it is not working yet....

  • I would not expect that to send a message - you are only creating the message details in the two samples you have posted. You need to be logging in to the server and sending the mail realpython.com/python-send-email or pythonforbeginners.com/code-snippets-source-code/… have examples that are a lot simpler than mime handling.

  • I will try... And tell how it went! Thanks!

    Apr 7, 2021 at 19:59
  • And I have to define 3 or more different Sendmails, power up, power down, battery low, etc. And add to the if conditions. Is it right??
