Installation of the Chumby Software
You need a recent version of the Chumby Software Image, as described here: ChumbyImageHowto. The image contains various Ruby scripts to retrieve data from external sources and exposes it to Flash frontends. All software is installed to /mnt/storage so that it runs from the internal SD card.
Setting up the environment for internal use
If you log into the Chumby via SSH, run
$ /mnt/storage/environment.sh
to get an interactive shell with an updated environment.
Configuring the daemon
The Ruby daemon “msg-chumby-daemon” retrieves the current power consumption from your Flukso. It depends on an configuration file which you need to adjust. A template can be found in ”/mnt/storage/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/msg-chumby-display-0.2.0/etc/msgchumbydaemonrc” (depending on the version of the gem). Copy it to ”/mnt/storage/usr/etc” and edit it to reflect your local Flukso settings. For example:
# These are the access parameters of the CC-HPC demo flukso - replace # with your own parameters! ACCESS_TOKEN: "bb8640e074de14b9d444be7b1359707f" SENSOR_ID: "67e9fa794684e4902730be208e9d734e" FLUKSO_LOCATION_METHOD: "static" FLUKSO_HOST: "192.168.1.102" FLUKSO_PORT: "80" FLUKSO_LOCAL_ID: "d69779ec53a9323b695ee86b5328dd28"
Access token and sensor id are needed to retrieve longterm values from the website. The FLUKSO_* variables describe where the Flukso lives on the local LAN, and what sensor ID should be queried.
Linking the software into the startup process
