Hacefrio

Hacefrio is an API and monitoring interface for a prototype Smart Air Conditioner.

In its current form, it is a rather minimal Ruby application that provides just enough functionality to actually be used, but contributions are welcome.

Running the App

In order to run Hacefrio, so far as external, non-ruby dependencies, you will need both a redis instance for data storage and an SMTP account for sending email. Both of these are configured via environment variables, so it should be relatively easy to deploy to a PaaS in the same line as Heroku.

Here are all of the values that you can configure via the environment:

• REDIS_URL is a URL-style definition for the connection to your redis
• SECRET is a key that is used to munge session data
• HOST is the canonical hostname for your app
• NOBI_SECRET is a key that is used to help generate the secure email links
• NOBI_EXPIRE is the number of seconds for which a Nobi secret is valid
• DEFAULT_FROM is the email address from which the app will send mail
• MALONE_URL is a URL-style definition for the connection to your mail server
• MALONE_DOMAIN is the canonical hostname for your app
