home-tv

A Raspberry Pi based Weather Station and Mini TV

Implementation

Local Server runs on Node.js express
Frontend is based on React.js
The kiosk.sh runs the express server, starts up Chromium in kiosk mode and naviagtes to the server's address
The kiosk.sh script is run on every reboot via a cronjob
The wather data is fetched and sent to the server via the dht.py script which uses the Adafruit DHT python library
DHT11 sensor is used and its data pin is connected to Pin 7 (GPIO4) of the Raspberry Pi

Ensure Node.JS is installed
git clone https://github.com/AmSmart/home-tv
npm install (in ./home-tv)
npm install (in ./home-tv/ClientApp)
npm run build (in ./home-tv/ClientApp)
ENSURE the Node installation path tallies with the ones in the shell scripts - ./home-tv/startup.sh and ./home-tv/kiosk.sh. Also ensure both scrips have adequate permission to be executed
crontab -e
(Add the below line to the cron file, ensure you subsitute the app's directory) @reboot $APP_DIRECTORY/startup.sh
Reboot the Pi to test
