API of module sample

Test if module mqtt is loaded

sample is a loadlable module. Therefore there is no guarantiee that it is present in every system. Before you can use this module, you have to make sure ist is loaded. You can do it by calling a method of the main smarthome object. Do it like this:

self.classname = self.__class__.__name__

try:
    self.mod_sample = self._sh.get_module('sample')
except:
    self.mod_sample = None
    
if self.mod_sample == None:
    # Do what is necessary if you can't use the sample module
    # for your plugin. For example:
    self.logger.error('{}: Module ''sample'' not loaded - Abort loading of plugin {0}'.format(self.classname))
    return
