Python doorbell application, for use with Raspberry Pi & Display-o-tron 3000.

DoorPy exists of two separated applications:

• webapp.py - For the webapplication;
• doorPy.py - The actual DoorPy application, reading the GPIO input/output and controlls the LCD.

It uses the following applications by design:

• Apache2 (with mod_wsgi enabled);
• Upstart for automated (re)booting of the application.

Below a guideline for the installation of DoorPy, it might be incorrect.. Don't blame me for that!

• Fulfil all dependecies:
  apt-get install python python-pip apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi upstart python-dev libffi-dev virtualenv and
  sudo pip install virtualenv
• Clone the repository into /var/www/DoorPy.
• Install dependecies by using pip:
  pip install -r requirements.txt
• Setup Apache:
  • Edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/doorpy.conf, to contain the following:

     <VirtualHost *:80>
                ServerName [name]
                ServerAdmin [email]
    
        WSGIDaemonProcess NAME  user=www-data group=www-data threads=5

  * Edit your `/var/www/settings.py` file, to reflect your settings. Especially make sure to write down the correct secret key in both this file and `/var/www/app.wsgi`.
  * Now restart Apache `sudo service apache2 restart` and check if you can access [ip]:80 and see the admin interface.
* If you are all good, power down your Raspberry Pi and take it apart.
* Now connect the LED wires from the doorbell-receiver to the GPIO pin that you have defined in settings.py and another one to ground.
* [ This will be extended in due time ]
