Smart Home

Description

Smart Home This is a raspberry pi based smart-home that can be used get data from sensors & control devices e.g light bulbs, fans, air conditioner, humidity & temp sensors, home media system.

The main aim of the project was to create a smart home system thats lets you to easily add more devices to your home without having to rewrite your code or change your circuit design.

Getting started

Requirements

This project was created on a debian linux platform but should work on other unix based[not limited to] systems.

• Tested on Debian Linux
• Python3
• node 10.2.0 and npm 6.3.0
• angular cli 6.0.0

Cloning the repository

git clone https://github.com/jakhax/smart-home.git && cd smart-home

Setting up Angular

Install node packages

• This part should be preferably done on your PC and not on the Pi as it is painfully slow to compile angular packages on the raspberry pi.

cd front-end
npm install
ng serve

Edit django-rest api endpoint

• Edit environment.ts(.prod.ts in production) apiEndPoint to your django-rest endpoint, in this case the IP address of your Raspberry Pi.

Build for production

• Build your app with npm run build:prod

Setting up the Django server on the raspberry pi

• First clone the project to your Raspberry Pi

Creating a virtual environment

python3 -m virtualenv virtual
source virtual/bin/activate

Installing dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements

Prepare environmet variables

For this project you will need the following configurations.

DEBUG=True
SECRET_KEY=SECRET_KEY

ALLOWED_HOSTS=.localhost,.127.0.0.1,testserver,.ngrok.io
CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST=127.0.0.1:4200,localhost:4200

JWT_EXPIRATION_DAYS=7
DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@127.0.0.1:5432/database

IS_PI=False
WEATHER_API_KEY=WEATHER_API_KEY

Database migrations

python manage.py migrate

Running the server

python manage.py runserver

Running the tests

python manage.py test

weather api

• Get a weather api key from Darksky

Cordova build android

• Assuming you have android sdk(preferably through android studio), java and gradle installed.
• Install cordova with npm npm install -g cordova
• Create a cordova project cordova create mobile
• At this point you can copy contents of the dist folder created when you build the angular app and replace them with the contents of the www folder in the cordova project folder, you can also uses a system link.
• Add or edit the <base href> tag in index.html to <base href="./"> since we will using a file path and not a url
• Add android , cordova platform add android
• Connect your android device via usb, enable usb-debugging then run cordova run android, it should run the app in your device.

Getting started

To be documented

1. Adding GPIO pins, devices and device types to the Database via django admin.
2. Suggestions on physical connections and builds.

Live demo

Front-end

• https://jakhax.github.io/smart-home/
• Use this creds to login
  • username:testuser
  • password: testuser
