Grow-IoT

Installing Grow-IoT

You need to install Meteor first (if you haven't already).

Then:

git clone https://github.com/CommonGarden/Grow-IoT
cd Grow-IoT
meteor npm install
meteor

And that's it! Visit http://localhost:3000 with your browser of choice; you should now have the application running.

Connecting devices (or virtual things)

Create a new device (click the '+' button) and take note of the device uuid and token. Then run (in a seperate terminal):

node tests/test-grow-hub.js

Paste in the uuid and token and presto! You've connected your first thing to Grow-IoT.

You can find then component for this device in imports/examples/GrowHub.jsx.

See Grow.js for more info on connecting devices such as the Raspberry Pi.

You can interact with the Grow-IoT api using the Distributed Data Protocol. There are DDP Clients available in many different programming languages, see http://meteorpedia.com/read/DDP_Clients for a list.

We are also slowly adding support for connecting devices over the CoAP protocol. See the experimental server in imports/api/coap.js.

Adding custom devices components

To do so:

Make a new CustomComponent.jsx file in `imports/things/'
Open imports/things/index.js.
import CustomComponent from './CustomComponent'
Lastly, add CustomComponent to the exported components object.

What's included

In the repo you'll find the following directories and files:

File/Folder	Provides
`.meteor`	Meteor stuff, well documented in other places.
`.sandstorm`	Sandstorm.io stuff (can)
`client`	Imports things and starts the React app.
`imports`	API, UI, and thing examples live here
`public`	Fonts and other static, public assets live here.
`tests`	Unit and Thread conformance tests
`server`	Imports the server code.
`tests`	Hmmm....

We have a few different repos for alternative (perhaps non-Meteor) stacks:

Our wiki also contains a growing assortment of useful info, including:
