## Installation Process
Clone the repository
````shell
git clone https://git.dennisvandermeulen.nl/dennis/PiSwitch.git
cd PiSwitch/
````
Setup virtual environment & install requirements (skip if you use Docker)
````shell
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
````
Setup config.ini
````shell
nano src/config.ini
````
## Config.ini
Set up the base url for your api
````ini
[setup]
baseurl = http(s)://www.example.com:port/
````
setup switch id
````ini
switchid = integer
````
Setup whether information must be pushed to the database
````ini
storedb = 0/1
````
Set the apikey for this PiSwitch
````ini
apikey = string
````
Set the key of the [PiSwitch reporting server](https://git.dennisvandermeulen.nl/dennis/PiSwitch_reporting) (Do not use if storedb=0)
````ini
srvapikey = string
````
Setup your location info
````ini
[location]
name = name
region = region
lat = float
lon = float
timezone = Europe/Amsterdam
````
##Docker
Use the included Docker-Compose files to build the scheduler and server container
````shell
docker-compose . -up -d
````
## Systemd
Use the following scripts to automatically start the scripts at boot for a true headless experience
### server.py
````ini
[Unit]
Description=Relay Switch Server
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/PiSwitch/src
ExecStart=/path/to/venv/bin/python3 path/to/PiSwitch/src/server.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
````
save as relayserver.service
### scheduler.py
````ini
[Unit]
Description=Relay Switch listener
After=multi-user.target
Requires=relayserver.service
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/PiSwitch/src
ExecStart=/path/to/venv/bin/python3 path/to/PiSwitch/src/scheduler.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
````
save as scheduler.service
## Troubleshooting
Check LED color for basic status indications
White Solid = No Wi-Fi
Red Solid = Lights off
Green Solid = Lights on
Blue Flashing = Astral enabled
Off = No power / Led dead :)
