SmartConsole

This is an app I use to control some stuff around my apartment. I mainly did it to work on my web dev skills and refresh myself. The server is able to run multiple clients, and the clients are designed to be run on a small touch screen.

Currently, my setup works by using the following

  • Raspberry Pi, or a similar microcomputer
    • The version doesn't matter, but more power should help lead to less freezes (I am currently using 3+)
    • Wi-Fi recommended (either dongle or built-in)
    • I recommend a lightweight OS, I use DietPi and configured it to boot into Chromium pointing to the server.
  • Touchscreen - I used this one
  • Another computer - not required, but something to run the server. You can run the server on the same Pi, or another Pi
  • Battery - definitely not required, but if you want mobile screen, can be useful, such as this one
  • Philips Hue lights

Development

Currently the codebase is split into two parts, the client and server. You must start both the server and client. More details to come.

Server

In the server/ folder npm run start Uses socket.io to provide updates to client(s) with aggregated data.

Client

In the client/ folder npm run start Uses ReactJS to dynamically update with data provided by server.
