Motivation

The beginning of this project was in the school where we had the order to create a small project with a Arduino. Because I always wanted to write my own house automation I took this as a opportunity to make it happen.

Since then I the project grows and most of my free time (mostly after work) I work on this project.

Install

1. Make sure Redis, InfluxDB and optional a MQTT Server like Mosquitto are installed, because this project is build with docekr I recommend to use docker
2. Now make sure that the configs are right, per default the application uses the default ports
3. Make npm install to install all needed dependencies
4. After that you can start the server by tipping npm start

1. Make sure Redis is running
