Info display for showing relevant information and controlling things lying around.
For you, this code is useless without plenty of customizations. It's offered here only for reference and inspiration.
Install redis and sql database (don't use sqlite, you'll hit problems with locking).
Create virtualenv:
virtualenv prod source prod/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt
Load fixtures for transitions:
python manage.py loaddata control_milight/fixtures/LightAutomation.json
Test everything with Django server:
python manage.py migrate python manage.py runserver
For production, configure uwsgi:
uwsgi --virtualenv /path/to/virtualenv --socket /path/to/django.socket --buffer-size=32768 --workers=5 --master --module wsgi_django uwsgi --virtualenv /path/to/virtualenv --http-socket /path/to/web.socket --gevent 100 --http-websockets --workers=2 --master --module wsgi_websocket
For production, remember to run "manage.py collectstatic". Also, running "manage.py compress --force" caches compressed css and javascript files.
And nginx (or any other web server that supports websockets):
location /static {
root /path/to/static/files;
}
location / {
include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/path/to/django.socket;
}
location /ws/ {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_pass http://unix:/path/to/web.socket:;
}
There is three ways to control lights:
- Using buttons and sliders on the UI. These either use per-source controls (when off button is pressed on the computer UI, there can be different action compared to door UI)
- With scheduled programs
- With automatic triggers (magnet switches and PIRs)
For manual controls, brightness is decided with following logic:
- Morning/evening white lights: 0% if no other group is on with brightness >0%. Otherwise min(brightest group, 10)
- Automatic brightness buttons: same logic as with automatic triggers
- Other buttons: manually configured
Scheduled programs:
- Either morning (brightness up) or evening (brightness down) programs. Brightness down programs do not turn lights on, or adjust brightness up.
- Any manual operation will pause scheduled programs for that group
Automatic triggers brightness, color and timing:
- Timer is 10 minutes during days and two minutes during nights.
- Color is white during days and red during nights (except if any group is on with white).
- Brightness: if any other group is on, use brightness from brightest group. If not, use brightness from scheduled programs. If none is running, 0% for nights and 100% for days.
