class DockInfo - current information about the dock
The DockInfo class gives current information about the DL-7450.
- class dock.DockInfo
Construct a DockInfo object.
- dock_id() str
Obtain the unique identifier of this dock. This identifier could be used for registering the dock as an IoT device with a service provider. For example:
from dock import DockInfo info = DockInfo() dock_id = info.dock_id()
- monitors() list[Monitor]
Obtain the current monitors connected to the DL-7450. The return value is a list of
monitor.Monitor. There is an entry per output, the entry containing an invalid monitor if there is no monitor connected to that output. For example:from dock import DockInfo from splashscreen import Splashscreen screen = Splashscreen() info = DockInfo() monitors = info.monitors() for output, monitor in enumerate(monitors): if monitor.valid(): screen.add_text_box(f"Output {output}: {monitor.name()}") else: screen.add_text_box(f"Output {output}: no monitor")
- host_status() int
Determine whether a host laptop or PC is connected to the DL-7450. Returns an integer which can be any of the values below.

- HOST_CONNECTION_SUSPENDED
A host is connected to the dock, but the connection has been suspended by the dock.
These values are read-only attributes, and can be accessed via either the class directly, or an object of the class.
