Usage

django-homegate is a helper app providing a management command to push the new records to Homegate using the API implementation of python-homegate (https://github.com/arteria/python-homegate). If you install from PyPi, this package will be installed as dependency.

To connect you real estate model, register your model in the settings and implement a model manager method that returns all records (real estate objects) to push to Homegate. In addition, a get_idx_record() and published_idx_record() method must be implemented on your real estate model to get access to the data to push to Homegate and to update the status of the record. There is an example provided in django_homegate/models.py.

To register the model do not forget to set the app label in your real estate model, eg. '<real-estate>', and in your settings.py add HOMEGATE_REAL_ESTATE_MODEL = '<your-app>.models.<real-estate-class>'.

The manager method name is ready_to_push(), so

>>> objs = RealEstate.objects.ready_to_push()

will return a QuerySet containing all real estate objects to publish to Homegate. There is an example provided in django_homegate/models.py as well.

In settings.py add HOMEGATE_AGENCY_ID = '<your-agency-id>', HOMEGATE_HOST = '<homegate-host>', HOMEGATE_USERNAME = '<your-username>' and HOMEGATE_PASSWORD = '<your-password>'.
