hive

Elixir application to allow seamless connections between network devices. Its main purpose is to provide an easy interface for connecting multple devices together.

Dependencies

• Erlang 20 (other versions not tested)
• Elixir 1.5.1 (other versions not test)
• RabbitMQ Server

To Start the application

1. Clone the repository
2. Use the config/config.exs file to setup configurations
3. Run mix release.init and then mix release or MIX_ENV="prod" mix release (for production)
4. To run the application use _build/rel/{ENV}/rel/hive/bin/hive start, change {ENV} to the env chosen when running the command above.

Using Hive

As of now the most practical way to interact with a hive node is to use RabbitMQ to send messages. Either use the HTTP API or STOMP provided by RabbitMQ, or create your own interface to send messages to RabbitMQ. For example, a Phoenix application can be the interface for this or any other framework/language that can support RabbitMQ

Custom Actions

Currently the only thing a node can do is write to a serial port. To add custom actions, just provide the function within lib/hive/job/job_list.ex.

Contributing

Look at the project wiki for the project roadmap

The requirements for contributing:

• Follow best practices of Elixir / OTP programming
• Provide documentation for new implementations
• Provide tests for new implementations or bug fixes

If you think your custom job should be included in the main project, then just submit a pull request. If you want the action but don't want to create it yourself then submit an issue.
