====== Building your own Flukso using FluksoUSB and an OpenWRT-Router ======

In the following section you can learn how to build your own Flukso using the FluksoUSB board and an OpenWRT-Router with an USB-Port. To use the custom Flukso with the website you need a device id, a key and sensor ids. You can get these from the mySmartGrid team.

===== Preparing FluksoUSB =====

First you have to compile the FluksoUSB firmware with your own sensor ids. Therefore you have to change the following lines in the Makefile provided with the firmware.

  SENSOR0 = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde0
  SENSOR1 = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde1
  SENSOR2 = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde2
  SENSOR3 = 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde3

Now you can compile and install the firmware as described above.

===== Preparing the Router =====

==== Finding the right packages ====
Depending on your router you need different packages. [[OpenWRTFlukso]] provides a list of tested routers and the corresponding packages. If your router is not in the list you can try to find a compatible router that is listed or build your own packages from the sources in our git repository.

The package you have to install is **fluksousb**. It's a meta package that depends on **msg-flukso**, which contains the necessary scripts to communicate with the mysmartgrid website, and **kmod-usb-serial-ftdi**.

==== The manual way ====
Download the packages for your router and install them as described in the [[http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/packages|OpenWRT wiki]].

==== The repository way ====
Add the repository for your router to /etc/opkg.conf and install them using <code>opkg update && opkg install fluksousb</code>

==== Configuration ====
You are almost done now. The last thing you have to do is adding the following lines to the system section in /etc/config/system on your router where device and key are the values you got from the mySmartGrid team.

        option device 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
        option key 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
