IoTize

IoTize(.eu) - a modular IoT application development kit

This application is the result of my masters thesis.

Note: due to an unfixed bug, the temporary build directory may have to be created manually (mkdir Backend/tmp_build_dir)

About

The goal of my thesis is to bring the Internet of Things - accompanied by the constant networking - closer to non tech-savvy people. The access to the IoT will be further facilitated by using low-cost hardware such as the esp8266 chip (on WEMS D1 mini [Pro]).

In the proposed solution, a configuration tool, can be used - in combination with the microcontroller and so called "shields" (periphery) - to bring modular and connected sensors online, without any programming skills. The tool generates the necessary code, compiles it, and then flashes the binary to the microcontroller.

Requirement

• Node.js (>v6)
• Arduino IDE

Howto

If you don't have it yet, install esp8266 platform package for Arduino by executing the following commands:

First, add the new URL to Arduino's board manager

$ arduino --pref boardsmanager.additional.urls=$(echo $(arduino --get-pref boardsmanager.additional.urls)",http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json") --save-prefs

Then, install the package

$ arduino --install-boards esp8266:esp8266

Howto

Get IoTize from git and change directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/odessa2/IoTize.git && cd IoTize/Backend

Download dependencies

Fetch Node.js dependencies:

$ npm install

Before running for the first time, some additional Arduino libraries have to be installed:

$ node app.js install-librarys

Start the application

$ node app.js

This should open the UI in your default webbrowser. It can be accessed via this URL: ==http://127.0.0.1:3000 ==
