Hermes

The Hermes project uses a zigbee network, hence it works with zigbee protocol, and this requires interacting with low-level hardware.

The idea of using python is because of performance, simplicity and ease of dealing with hardware.

In the initial design, we will have a Raspberry Pi, which would function as a server, connected to an xbee card in the USB port, the interaction via serial, and the idea is that Raspberry Pi, through its Wi-Fi network, provides a restfull service to that when requested the status of an X port dialogically type server/port1, there is the hexadecimal communication with xbee, so that it searches for this information.

Development

Before start, on GitHub, fork Hermes project (https://github.com/somosprte/Hermes)

So, on the root folder when the project should be cloned, type:

git clone https://github.com/<your-user-id>/Hermes.git

Environment

If you are using conda, before the code bellow, enter into the Hermes folder. Next, type the following commands:

conda create --name hermes python=3.4

source activate hermes

conda install --file requirements.txt

The Python interpret installed should be version 3.4, because this is the version used by Raspberry Pi 2 (armv6l), at this moment.

If you are using virtualenv (remember to use Python 3.4), on the Hermes folder, type:

virtualenv .

source bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the project, type:

python hermes.py

Start API

To start the api do:

python hermes.py

And to test it:

$ curl http://localhost:5000/todo1 -d "data=Remember the milk" -X PUT
{"todo1": "Remember the milk"}

$ curl http://localhost:5000/todo1
{"todo1": "Remember the milk"}

$ curl http://localhost:5000/todo2 -d "data=Change my brakepads" -X PUT
{"todo2": "Change my brakepads"}

$ curl http://localhost:5000/todo2
{"todo2": "Change my brakepads"}
