Disclaimer

This project is not ready to use and still in development. There is no setup script or so. The code is just a snapshot to show how it could work. Search for the string "# WARNING". You need to add your credentials for MQTT broker, WIFI and database where you find this string with an applicable note.

Key features

• Switch plugwise plugs on and off via RFID chips
• Access control via ESP8266 and RFID-reader
• Device management of plugwise devices, RFID chips and ESP8266 via webinterface
• Usermanagement via webinterface
• Communication between ESPs and backend via MQTT

FabLabESP

Implementation for the ESPs that controls the RFID-Reader and sends MQTT commands to the broker

Paths where you have to add credentials: FabLabESP/FabLabESP.ino

Plugwise-2-py

Open Source project. Description copied from the readme: Plugwise-2-py evolved in a monitoring and control server for plugwise devices.

You need to configure your plubwise devices in Plugwise-2-py/config/pw-control.json and Plugwise-2-py/config/pw-conf.json

Paths where you have to add credentials: Plugwise-2-py/config/pw-hostconfig.json

fablab-webif

Django-based webinterface

Setup

Search for the string "# WARNING". You need to add your credentials for MQTT broker, WIFI and database where you find this string with an applicable note.

Paths where you have to add credentials: fablab-webif/fablab-webif/settings.py fablab-webif/fablab-webif/fablabcontrol.py fablab-webif/fablab-webif/mqtt.py

1. Install Python

2. Install required python packages via pip install packagename. To install Django version 1.11 use the command pip install django==1.11

   • pip install django==1.11 paho-mqtt "channels<2.0\ simplejson django_extensions pillow django-bootstrap-ui django-widget-tweaks django-template-debug

3. Install an MQTT broker

   • pip install mosquitto

Testing installation

1. Change the database in fablab-webif/fablab-webif/settings.py to the SQLite database
2. Setup a user with the password from the settings.py in the MQTT broker
   • for Mosquitto use the command mosquitto_passwd -c /path/to/pwfile
3. Migrate your database
   • python2 manage.py makemigrations
   • python2 manage.py migrate
4. Run server via python manage.py runserver

The server should now run locally.
