• Basic Usage

from zk import ZK, const

conn = None
zk = ZK('192.168.1.10', port=4370, timeout=5)
try:
    print 'Connecting to device ...'
    conn = zk.connect()
    print 'Disabling device ...'
    conn.disable_device()
    print 'Firmware Version: : {}'.format(conn.get_firmware_version())
    # print '--- Get User ---'
    users = conn.get_users()
    for user in users:
        privilege = 'User'
        if user.privilege == const.USER_ADMIN:
            privilege = 'Admin'

        print '- UID #{}'.format(user.uid)
        print '  Name       : {}'.format(user.name)
        print '  Privilege  : {}'.format(privilege)
        print '  Password   : {}'.format(user.password)
        print '  Group ID   : {}'.format(user.group_id)
        print '  User  ID   : {}'.format(user.user_id)

    print "Voice Test ..."
    conn.test_voice()
    print 'Enabling device ...'
    conn.enable_device()
except Exception, e:
    print "Process terminate : {}".format(e)
finally:
    if conn:
        conn.disconnect()

• Connect/Disconnect

conn = zk.connect()
conn.disconnect()

• Disable/Enable Connected Device

conn.disable_device()
conn.enable_device()

• Ger Firmware Version

conn.get_firmware_version()

• User Operation

# Create user
conn.set_user(uid=1, name='Fanani M. Ihsan', privilege=const.USER_ADMIN, password='12345678', group_id='', user_id='123')
# Get all users (will return list of User object)
users = conn.get_users()
# Delete User
conn.delete_user(uid=1)

• Attendance Record

# Get attendances (will return list of Attendance object)
attendances = conn.get_attendance()
