Control from any device
03/05/2016 at 19:49 • 0 comments

Right now the Arduino is permanently plugged in to the server so is always controllable through ssh.
I have written two scripts. A server and client.
The server script runs on the server and monitors a port on the network.
The client script can run on any machine on the network. It sends control data to the server, the server script accepts the data sends it to the Arduino. All responses from the Arduino are send back to the client and the connection is dropped.
The scripts are in Python, the server is Debian.
When the Mycroft comes having it control the lights will be simple.
Hardware installation complete

In the end I used 12 rows of 60 LEDs.
Everything is working as planned.
I could end the project here but there is so much more I can do with this.
Coming soon:
Integration of Mycroft (the kickstarter has ended but the product is not yet shipping)
This will enable voice control.
Server control. The Arduino is permanently connected (USB) to the home server.
I already have terminal control of the Arduino, planned is an API (daemon) on the server so anything can interface.
Will post cct diags and parts list soon.
