Home automation stuff

To run the server you need npm, postgres, sass

To run the camera modules, you have a choice: if you want to use PIR motion detection and the Raspi camera, you can just run monitor-with-pir.py and the server will know where to find the files. Alternatively, in particular if your GPIO is taken by the light switches module, you can use motion as a replacement (use the config file in the misc directory).

$ createuser -P --interactive home
Enter password for new role: home
Enter it again: home
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n

$ createdb -O home home

Edit the file called server/config/models.js and change migrate: 'safe', to migrate: 'drop',.

$ clone git@github.com:maxf/home.git
$ cd server
$ npm install

Edit the file called server/config/models.js and change migrate: 'safe', to migrate: 'drop',.

$ node_modules/.bin/sails lift

After you've run sails lift for the first time, revert the file change above. This is a bit of a hassle, but apparently purposeful so users won't accidentally delete their db.

Then visit [visit http://localhost:1337](visit http://localhost:1337)

1. I take no responsibility in the software not behaving as intended. This is just me playing with my Raspberry Pi and experimenting the Sails framework.

2. There isn't a single test in this repo. That should give you a clue as to how safe it is to use it to protect your home.
