Real-time home monitoring and automation.
More info at http://jeelabs.org/tag/housemon/.
Note: new developments take place on the
masterbranch of this repository,
but you most probably want a WORKING version, which is in the0.7.xbranch.
The corresponding files on Github are here. SeeREADME-0.8.mdfor the NEW code.
(Note: go to this page for detailed Raspberry Pi setup instructions)
Install Node.js (it has to be version 0.10.x) and redis, then:
$ git clone https://github.com/jcw/housemon.git
$ cd housemon
$ git checkout 0.7.x # <== this is ESSENTIAL
$ npm install
Make sure Redis is running (this app uses database #1, see local.json):
$ redis-server &
Then launch the app as a Node.js web server:
$ npm start
Now browse to http://localhost:3333/ (this can be changed in local.json).
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!
