**secop-ophyd** integrates SECoP-enabled hardware into the
`Bluesky <https://blueskyproject.io/>`_ experiment orchestration framework.

It acts as a bridge between SECoP nodes and Bluesky's
`ophyd-async <https://blueskyproject.io/ophyd-async/main/index.html>`_ device
layer: connecting to a SECNode via TCP, reading its descriptive data, and
automatically generating ophyd device objects for all exposed modules and
parameters.  The resulting devices can be used in
`Bluesky plans <https://blueskyproject.io/bluesky/main/tutorial.html#the-run-engine-and-plans>`_
just like any other ophyd device, giving SECoP hardware seamless access to the
full Bluesky ecosystem alongside EPICS, Tango, and other control-system
backends.

Communication with the SECNode is handled internally by
`Frappy <https://github.com/SampleEnvironment/frappy>`_.
