Protractor is a neat test framework for AngularJS apps and since the web app we made in previous post is made using Angular, we’re going to create a simple Protractor test. You find the previous post here. What do you need to start using Protractor An Angular based web app uploaded to a web server. […]
Angular is a nice JavaScript framework for creating more structured web solutions and presenting data. As shown in previous post, jQuery works just as good, but some advantages of Angular are that your code is easier to read, you can piggy-back on the functionality of Angular meaning less development time, and it is meant for […]
If you love playing around with hardware, you’ll love Arduino. And if you don’t like hardware, you’ll love Arduino equally as much since you don’t have to be a hardware engineer to get that LED blink or program your Arduino to act as a thermometer. Arduino simply is a super quick and cheap way to […]
In a previous post (here), we created a simple front-end for Domoticz running on a Raspberry. In this post, we’ll take it a step further and style it a bit to look beautiful. It’s good if you go through the previous post first since we are going to build on that code base. Areas you […]
In this post we will create a simple web user interface for Domoticz running on a Raspberry Pi. This will allow us to check the status of our sensors and the status of the security panel of Domoticz. In order to follow the steps we go through here, you should have a fair understanding of: […]
In previous post (can be found here) we created a simple event handler in Domoticz to control a power plug based on the events from a motion sensor. In this post we will step it up a notch and build a basic alarm system. If you are not familiar with the Events interface in Domoticz, […]
In previous post we learned how to group two devices (post can be found here). In this post we will use the Events interface in Domoticz to tell a switch to act on a certain event that appears. We make sure that we have ”ungrouped” our Multisensor and Z-Wave power plug from previous post, since […]
The Z-Wave technology allows for building a home automation network of sensors and switches. These sensors and switches, also called nodes, can communicate with each other through a central Z-Wave controller (i.e. a hub) or directly with each other. In this post we will show how to group an Aeon Labs motion sensor (actually a multisensor) […]
In previous post we added a Z-Wave power plug in Domoticz (click here to read the post). Now, in this post we will add and configure an Aeon Labs Multisensor 6 in Domoticz. The multisensor is one physical device but comprises six different sensors: Motion sensor Temperature sensor Humidity sensor Vibration sensor (mainly for tampering […]
It’s time to add our first device to our Z-Wave network consisting of: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Razberry add-on card Domoticz home automation software running on our Raspberry If you’re new to Z-Wave it’s recommended to start with a simple sensor such as a power plug. If you start with a 110 dB siren, […]
