A Raspberry Pi home automation project to control Nexa remote switch.
- Raspberry Pi
- RF Transmitter and Receiver 433 MHz (Like this one)
Here's a wiring example for a Raspberry Pi 2
If you install CR Smart Home on your Raspberry Pi you'll need to extend the swap file from 100 to 300 during the installation. I recommend to change back when the installation is done.
sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
CONF_SWAPSIZE=300
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop
sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start
Install the following packages. The packages pi_switch and pi-switch-python takes a while to install, please be patient.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install php5 php5-curl php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get install python-dev libboost-python-dev python-pip
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-openssl
sudo apt-get install python-w1thermsensor
sudo pip install Flask
sudo pip install flask-httpauth
cd /home/pi/Documents
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
cd wiringPi
./build
sudo pip install pi_switch
cd /home/pi/Documents
git clone https://github.com/lexruee/pi-switch-python.git
cd pi-switch-python
sudo python setup.py install
cd /home/pi/Documents
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.git
cd Adafruit_Python_DHT
sudo python setup.py install
Open configuration file for Apache
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Find the row DocumentRoot /var/www and replace it with DocumentRoot /home/pi/Documents/cr-smart-home-webgui.
Also add the following code.
<Directory /home/pi/Documents/cr-smart-home-webgui/ >
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Restart Apache with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
cd /home/pi/Documents
git clone https://github.com/crundberg/cr-smart-home
git clone https://github.com/crundberg/cr-smart-home-webgui
# Import MySQL database
mysql -u root -p mysql < /home/pi/Documents/cr-smart-home/crsmarthome.sql
Start the program with sudo python /home/pi/Documents/cr-smart-home/main.py and start the API with sudo python /home/pi/Documents/cr-smart-home/API.py
sudo cp /home/pi/Documents/cr-smart-home/autostart/crsmarthome /etc/init.d/
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/crsmarthome
sudo update-rc.d crsmarthome defaults
