Zklib in ERPNext

Frappe Framework App Development
,

i am new to zklib and ERPNext. I am developing a finger authentication attendance app in ERPNext using zklib for ZKTeco device. I have created app and successful done every thing, i have installed zklib in frappe directory but when i call this funtion it says zk.connect can not be found in zklib.py Here is my code:

from __future__ import unicode_literals
import frappe
from frappe.model.document import Document
from frappe import _

import sys
import time
from zklib import zklib, zkconst

class Attendence(self):
     @frappe.whitelist()
     def call_Attendence(self):
          print("Function called")
          zk = zklib.ZKLib("192.168.100.201", 4370)
          ret = zk.connect()
          print("connection:", ret)
     pass
2

Shouldn’t zk be defined before using the connect function ?
Something like zk = zklib.ZKLib(machine_ip, int(port)) where machine_ip would be localhost address and port would be 8000, I guess.

thanks i forgot to add the line here,
zk = zklib.ZKLib(“192.168.100.201”, 4370)
i have already done this but it gives error

I can use the code outside frappe, and it work fine but inside frappe app it give errors about importing

You need to add zklib in your app’s requirements.txt

zk=zklib.ZKLib("127.0.0.1", 8000) ? What port is 4370 ?

Its working at 4370 out side frappe-bench app. if i run the code independently out side the frappe, it execute without any issue.

@hereabdulla i did and restart the frappe-bench but its not working :frowning:

I never tried zklib but I am using pyzk it is working inside Frappe will you try that

You need to run bench setup requirements if you are changing something in the requirements.txt

This solution is also Not working…! :frowning:

@hereabdulla i am facing same error at import, as used zklib…
from base import ZK
ImportError: No module named ‘base’

14

Which zk device model are you using.we used zkilb to connect iface450 model zkteco device

zk = zklib.ZKLib(“192.168.100.201”, 4370)
ret = zk.connect()

this always gives as false.

do we need to do any setting on device.

please give the steps to connect to the device

15

I tried only with pyzk only lets try with zklib and let you know

@renjukumar for connection, check the IP and port of device, you have to set the port manually.

17

@Sibghat y dont u try pyzk

18

@hereabdulla, @Zlash65 do i need to include every import within zklib, i tried zklib and pyzk and both give error inside their own libraries. may i share screen shots ?

While using pyzk library:
my Code:
`

       from zk import ZK, const
 @frappe.whitelist()
 def call_Attendence():
 conn = None
 zk = ZK('192.168.1.10', port=4370, timeout=5)
 try:
    conn = zk.connect()
    conn.disable_device()
        users = conn.get_users()
    for user in users:
        privilege = 'User'
        if user.privilege == const.USER_ADMIN:
            privilege = 'Admin'
        print('  Name       : {}'.format(user.name))
    
    conn.test_voice()
    conn.enable_device()
except Exception:
    print("Process terminate :")
finally:
    if conn:
        conn.disconnect()

And i get this Error:
i Use this command to run my function: frappe-bench$ bench execute “pathto function”: Response i get is here:

Hi, can you clarify where does the data land inside ERPNext? Will it work if I want to use the ZK check-in check-out information to calculate salary based on hours worked? Tried with zklib without success. Thanks.

Hi, were you able to fix this? Also are you looking for integration of one device or multiple devices across many locations like outlets in different areas of the city/country etc.
