This is a multipurpose script designed to be used for regular check-ins, such as sleep protocols or activity reminders. The script sends notifications and plays sounds to prompt for user responses. If the user does not respond within a set time, it logs the missed responses and stops after a certain number of missed check-ins.
- Periodic notifications and sound prompts
- Customizable messages and sounds
- Tracks user responses and stops after consecutive missed check-ins
- Python 3.x
- Required Python packages:
playsound,plyer
Install the required packages using:
pip install playsound plyer- Ensure all sound files (
startup.mp3,ping.mp3,error.mp3,end.mp3) are in the same directory as the script. - Run the script using:
python pingMe.pyTo customize the text messages, update the corresponding print statements in the ping function. Here are the key messages and where to find them:
-
Initial Message:
print("Custom start message! Do something.")
Change this message to your desired start message.
-
Ping Message:
print("Custom ping message!")
Change this message to your desired ping message.
-
No Reply Message:
print("Custom no reply message.")
Change this message to your desired no reply message.
-
Stop Message:
print("Custom stop message.")
Change this message to your desired stop message.
-
Deactivation Message:
print("Custom end message.")
Change this message to your desired end message.
Replace the sound files with your own sounds and ensure they are named:
startup.mp3: Initial soundping.mp3: Ping sounderror.mp3: Error soundend.mp3: End sound
Update the paths in the play_sound function if your sound files are located elsewhere:
def play_sound(file):
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
file_path = os.path.join(script_dir, file)
if os.path.isfile(file_path):
try:
playsound(file_path)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error playing sound {file}: {e}")
else:
print(f"Sound file {file} not found at {file_path}")Here's a modified example of the script with custom messages:
import os
import time
import threading
from playsound import playsound
from plyer import notification
def play_sound(file):
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
file_path = os.path.join(script_dir, file)
if os.path.isfile(file_path):
try:
playsound(file_path)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error playing sound {file}: {e}")
else:
print(f"Sound file {file} not found at {file_path}")
def ping():
missed_pings = 0
print("Custom start message! Do something.")
play_sound('startup.mp3')
while True:
time.sleep(15)
print("Custom ping message!")
play_sound('ping.mp3')
notification.notify(
title='Ping Notification',
message='Custom ping message!',
timeout=10
)
reply_received = threading.Event()
def get_reply():
reply = input("Reply (yes/y/1 for yes, no/n/0 for no): ").strip().lower()
reply_received.set()
return reply
reply_thread = threading.Thread(target=get_reply)
reply_thread.start()
reply_thread.join(30)
if reply_received.is_set():
reply = get_reply()
if reply in ["yes", "y", "1"]:
missed_pings = 0
elif reply in ["no", "n", "0"]:
missed_pings = 1
else:
print("Invalid input, stopping pings due to unrecognized response")
play_sound('error.mp3')
break
else:
print("Custom no reply message.")
missed_pings = 1
if missed_pings >= 2:
print("Custom stop message.")
break
print("Custom end message.")
play_sound('end.mp3')
return 0
