**Windows Notes**:
- You will need to specify homestar commands like this: `node ./node_modules/homestar/bin/homestar setup`
- The symbolic link at the top of the dreemgl tree (called .iotdb) must be manually created. From the top of the repository, running as an Administrator:
- `erase .iotdb`
- `mklink /d .iotdb .\classes\iot\.iotdb`

### Pair to IOT devices

Dreemgl makes it easy to pair to many different kinds of IOT devices. We've tested pairing to Philips Hue and Samsung Smart Things hubs, but many more should work including https://github.com/dpjanes/homestar-samsung-smart-tv, https://github.com/dpjanes/homestar-wemo and more. See https://homestar.io/about/things for more details on pairing a specific device.

Follow the prompts. Note that you may need to unplug and plug in the ethernet port on your hue, then refresh your browser to see the 'Pair' button. When finished, hit control-c a few times to get back to the shell.

**Windows Notes**:
- Some dependencies can fail because of issues with `node-gyp`.
- You will need to have .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed (Windows 7)
- If you have multiple versions of Python installed, you can specify the version to use by:
`npm config set python python2.7`
- The Visual Studio C++ compiler is needed. If you have multiple versions installed you can specify the version by:
`npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global`
