Version 1.0
A control panel to view the temperature and humidity of a location as well as the ability to control an A/C unit. Generally the data as well as the ability to control is provided by an Arduino with a sensor and iR system but can be any system that supports json or http requests.
- Python 2.7
Doesn't work in Python 3 due to gevent-socketio but I'll be looking to port it over once that is compatible.
- Arduino or other temperature sensor
The main requirement is that your temperature sensor either has a REST API that the application can hit or can hit the application on its REST API.
git clone this repository
install requirements (better to do so in a virtualenv)
pip install -r requirements.txt
create database using any of the SQLAlchemy compatible database
copy config-template.py to config.py and edit according to your environment
cp config-template.py config.py
Setup the database
python run.py db setup
Start the server, you'll probably want to run this in a screen/tmux session.
python run.py runserver
The initial admin user/password is
admin admin123
I recommend changing this immediately on the user page.
These are configuration items specific to the application itself. Check here for flask configuration items.
| Option | Description |
| SCHEDULER | Whether to run tasks defined in task.py. Default: True |
| ARDUINO_IP | IP or hostname of the device to check for temperature/humidity information. |
| SERVER_IP | The IP the server listens on. Default: 127.0.0.1 |
| SERVER_PORT | The port the server listens on. Default: 5000 |
If there are database schema changes you will need to run
python run.py db upgrade
after downloading the latest code.
You can find the arduino sketch I'm using with this application [here](link later).
