Install Node.js (it has to be version 0.10.x) and redis, then:

Make sure Redis is running (this app uses database #1, see local.json):

Documentation

If you want to start exploring the (early) features of HouseMon, keep these
points in mind and check http://jeelabs.org/tag/housemon/ for the latest news:

  • the "logger" triggers on "incoming" events, as emitted by the "rf12demo" briq
  • the "Readings" page needs drivers and mappings from node ID to that driver
  • the "Status" page also needs mappings from node ID's to named locations
  • the "archiver" and "history" briqs use status changes, so get that going first
  • the "Graphs" page only works off history data so far, i.e. up to 48 hours back

There is some documentation in the docs/ folder, but things do change fast!
