Codeship Status for buzzn/d0-reader

D0 Reader

many electricity meters have an D0 interface (IrDA) this can be read with the d0reader and sent to the buzzn platform. The d0-reader consists of following hardware parts.

d0-reader app

The d0-reader consists of following Software parts.

  • redis. Key-value database for storing settings and queuing jobs.
  • web. Express webinterface for change settings. like access_token and hostname.
  • kue. background worker for sending readings.
  • serialport. reads incoming SMLs from the usb d0-head and send it to kue.

Development on your Workstation

  • Fork the repository on Github
  • Create a named feature branch (like add_component_x)
  • git checkout add_component_x
  • Write you changes
  • Write tests for your changes
  • Run the tests, ensuring they all pass
  • Submit a Pull Request using Github

Release

  • Download, unzip and Flash Hypriot OS
  • open SDCard on your Workstation and open device-init.yaml
  • change hostname to d0reader
  • if you want to use WLAN set wifi interfaces.
  • save and put SDCard into RaspberryPi
  • start and log into RaspberryPi via ssh pirate@d0reader.local (password is hypriot)
  • git clone https://github.com/buzzn/d0-reader.git
  • cd d0-reader
  • remove the D0-head from the smartmeter to prevent storing SML in the que
  • docker-compose up -d | StartUp all container as daemons
  • logout and move SDCard from RaspberryPi to your Workstation
  • diskutil list | Locate SD Card
  • diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3 | Unmount the SD Card
  • sudo dd if=/dev/disk3 of=./images/d0-reader-v2.img | Create Image from SD Card
  • To see progress while it is running just type control-t
  • zip and upload image to aws s3
  • continue with step 'Production'

Production

Flash SDCard

  • diskutil list | Locate SD Card
  • diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3 | Unmount the SD Card
  • sudo dd bs=1m if=~/Downloads/pi-image.img of=/dev/rdisk3 | Burn Image on SDCard (MacOS with bs=1m, linux with bs=1M)
  • To see progress while it is running just type control-t

Docker cheat sheet

  • docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) | Stop all running Container
  • docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) | Remove all Container
  • docker rmi $(docker images -a -q) | Remove all Images
  • docker volume rm $(docker volume ls) | Remove all volumes
  • docker-compose up --build | rebuild images and start containers

Troubleshooting on RasPI

  • Does the RasPI start properly? ...
  • Is the IR measuring Head well connected?
