Welcome to the mySmartGrid Developer Wiki! Please use this wiki to document features, share how-tos, and brainstorm additional development tasks. If you develop code on your own, we suggest that you use github for version control. Please put a link to all external repositories into this wiki.

Communicating with the Developers

If you want to contact the developers, please use the mySmartGrid development mailing list: msg-dev@listserv.mysmartgrid.de

Another way to contact the team is using IRC - we have a channel #mysmartgrid on freenode.

HexaBus - The Kraken of Home Automation

Our standards-based, open-source home automation system is now (almost) available. Each device has an unique IPv6 address and provides excellent interfaces for hacking (both hardware and software). Learn more on the HexaBus page.

Code running on the Chumby

Please note: The Chumby comes with an operating system built-in that needs to be registered with Chumby.com before allowing Flash-based code to be executed. Whenever Chumby.com is down, as a side effect, the Chumby won't normally boot with the operating system delivered by the manufacturer. Please consider using the new image including the Qt-based code.

Code running on mobile devices

Mobile devices need a generic mechanism for exchanging configuration information. We need to develop a webservice that allows us to exchange this information securely and easily. One way would be:

  • Generate a secret on the mobile device.
  • The user logs into the website and enters the secret. Then, the website provides a package with configuration information that is linked to the user.
  • The user activates the configuration download manually. The device then uses the secret to download the configuration information.

iPhone

Requirements:

  • Display the current reading of a Flukso in the local LAN. The Flukso should be discovered using SD-DNS. It should also be possible to enter the Flukso IP manually.
  • The Flukso sensor IDs should be named according to the website. The Flukso name can be discovered using the configuration webservice.
  • The Graphs on the website should be rendered in a UIWebView. The website provides a minimal Javascript/HTML-page that will be cached by the iPhone. The user can refresh the local cache manually in the preference pane.

Android
