pyzk

pyzk is an unofficial library of zksoftware the fingerprint attendance machine.

Installation

replace original pyzk, if it was installed

pip install -U git+https://github.com/kurenai-ryu/pyzk.git

or using pipenv:

pipenv install git+https://gith.com/kurenai-ryu/pyzk#egg=pyzk

or clone and execute:

python setup.py install

or in your project, append the path of this project

import sys
import os
sys.path.insert(1,os.path.abspath("./pyzk"))
from zk import ZK, const

Documentation

Api Usage

Just create a ZK object and you will be ready to call api.

• Basic Usage

from zk import ZK, const

conn = None
zk = ZK('192.168.1.201', port=4370, timeout=5, password=0, force_udp=False, ommit_ping=False)
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 as 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()

• Get and Set Time

from datetime import datetime

zktime = conn.get_time()
print zktime

newtime = datetime.today()
conn.set_time(newtime)

• Ger Firmware Version and extra information

conn.get_firmware_version()
conn.get_serialnumber()
conn.get_platform()
conn.get_device_name()
conn.get_face_version()
conn.get_fp_version()
conn.get_extend_fmt()
conn.get_user_extend_fmt()
conn.get_face_fun_on()
conn.get_compat_old_firmware()
conn.get_network_params()
conn.get_mac()
conn.get_pin_width()

• Get Device use and free Space

conn.read_sizes()
print(conn)
#also:
conn.users
conn.fingers
conn.records
conn.users_cap
conn.fingers_cap
conn.records_cap

• User Operation

# Create user
conn.set_user(uid=1, name='Fanani M. Ihsan', privilege=const.USER_ADMIN, password='12345678', group_id='', user_id='123', card=0)
# Get all users (will return list of User object)
users = conn.get_users()
# Delete User
conn.delete_user(uid=1)

there is also an enroll_user() (but it doesn't work with some tcp ZK8 devices)

• Fingerprints

# Get  a single Fingerprint (will return a Finger object)
template = conn.get_user_template(uid=1, temp_id=0) #temp_id is the finger to read 0~9
# Get all fingers from DB (will return a list of Finger objects)
fingers = conn.get_templates()

# to restore a finger, we need to assemble with the corresponding user
# pass a User object and a list of finger (max 10) to save

conn.save_user_template(user, [fing1 ,fing2])

• Attendance Record

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

• Test voice

conn.test_voice(index=10) # beep or chirp

• Device Maintenance

# shutdown connected device
conn.power_off()
# restart connected device
conn.restart()
# clear buffer
conn.free_data()

• Live Capture!

# live capture! (timeout at 10s)
for attendance in conn.live_capture():
    if attendance is None:
        # implement here timeout logic
        pass
    else:
        print (attendance) # Attendance object
    #
    #if you need to break gracefully just set
    #   conn.end_live_capture = True
    #
    # On interactive mode,
    # use Ctrl+C to break gracefully
    # this way it restores timeout
    # and disables live capture

Backup/Restore (Users and fingers only!!!) (WARNING! destructive test! do it at your own risk!)

usage: ./test_backup_restore.py [-h] [-a ADDRESS] [-p PORT] [-T TIMEOUT]
                              [-P PASSWORD] [-f] [-v] [-r]
                              [filename]

ZK Basic Backup/Restore Tool

positional arguments:
  filename              backup filename (default [serialnumber].bak)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS
                        ZK device Address [192.168.1.201]
  -p PORT, --port PORT  ZK device port [4370]
  -T TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        Default [10] seconds (0: disable timeout)

  -v, --verbose         Print debug information
  -r, --restore         Restore from backup
  -c, --clear-attendance
                        On Restore, also clears the attendance [default keep
                        attendance]

to restore on a different device, make sure to specify the filename. on restoring, it asks for the serial number of the destination device (to make sure it was correct, as it deletes all data) WARNING. there is no way to restore attendance data, you can keep it or clear it, but once cleared, there is no way to restore it.
