After hours of patience I finally got this working, yes there's plenty of thing to be added or enhanced, however heimcontrol.js is the most advanced home automation raspberryPI project I have been playing with, congrats for the hard work and for sharing with us.

I wish I can help to extend features, such as lockitron (they provide an API), mochad (x10) and maybe NFC or RFID authentication (yes I am one of those implanted geek, both hands). Can anyone help me understand how adding plugins works? Say I already have a some nodes apps how can I add it? I couldn't really find any hint even after trying to duplicate a plugin and looking at it. Is there any documentation?

Thanks for the great project!

Great project guys! I've just got this up and running with the Arduino Uno using rcswitch!

One question: When I reboot my pi, I've gotten heimcontrol set to run as a service on startup. Do you know if it's possible to programatically build and upload the du.ino file as well?

I've tried using arduino-mk with no success (missing dependencies) - the only way I've been able to get du.ino to compile and upload is from the full blown Arduino IDE. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello
In "http://ni-c.github.io/heimcontrol.js/plugins/webcam.html" say ->the webcam plugin stream the webcam images.

Is possible also with the plugin stream the webcam audio or video???

Thanks !!

I've seen a node.js server which logs/charts the Temperature of a pi. Is there a way to to do this in heimcontrol as well? Is there an API for the Sensors from the Arduino? You can find the Server here: https://github.com/talltom/PiThermServer

For some reason node just quits ... this is the error it prints, does not really make any sense to me

Is there any chance to setup raspicam to work with heimcontrol.js?
I want to set it up with streamer but it doens't work.

Upon adding 2nd webcam and trying to save.
"An invalid form control with name='data[0][port]' is not focusable. "

I have already have another set of raspberry pi and arduino to eliminate the hardware problems.
My old problem with arduino communication posted before, is solved by "reinstalling" heimcontrol.js.
But i have a new one :(
The sympthom is coming in about 30 minutes from starting heimcontrol, which is working great until the readings from the arduino stops, and i have no response from the arduino, and the leds on the arduino is showing me the communication problem, like the console messages with debug enabled.
It's interesting, because if i restart heimcontrol, without any hardware reset, is working again.
I think, my problem comes from the arduino, because i have a modified code uploaded, to read my dht22 sensors.
Two separate systems, same issue.

My problem is, that i want to use digital sensors, at 50m from the system, that's why i modified the arduino code.

Now i want to create a new plugin, using existing working software, to connect the dht sensor(s) directly to raspberry.

I have tested and i have readings from the console using:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/tree/master/Adafruit_DHT_Driver

Please let me know if it's possible or i want too much :)

I'm running on the latest wheezy. I follow each line but gave me a 'failed!' when trying to start it. I don't know where to start in debugging the problem. Thanks

I'm looking for a way to have button presses on the arduino be recognized as such in heimcontrol, and be able to have actions associated with them(ex. a pushbutton to turn on a light, instead of having to use the web interface), as well as a way to have if... then logic within the interface(ex. temperature sensor on arduino reports to heimcontrol, which then turns the heat on or off).

Thoughts/suggestions?

Got everything to run, but I'm not sure how to login ... it prompts me for an email and password

I just installed the heimcontrol on my raspberryPi and after hours of building I tried to start the application in Browser. In my case: http://192.168.0.111:8080

Can you give me a hint what is going wrong there?

As someone who knows not loads about encryption and web hacking and whatnot.. I just wondered how secure this platform is...

Say I used it to control a factory.. where are the possible ways in for attackers.. Is it pretty much impossible or super easy for them to get in?

This is assuming I have strong passwords for all my registered users..

Is there an easy way of changing the order how things are showed on the home screen?

For example say I have currently 4 remote sockets, and add them first, then temperature sensor and light sensor,... then some IR stuff.
After a while I buy some new remotes and want them on top right after the first added 4 remote sockets, currently I have to delete all items with settings under them and then add the new ones and the old stuff with all entrys again, or am I missing something?

Would it be possible to impement some intuitive sortable thing that you can change the order for example like this: http://jqueryui.com/sortable/

Hi there,

Any possibility of the code moving to Bootstrap 3.0?

Duino has been updated by it's author (https://github.com/ecto/duino ), allowing to specify device name (not necessary ttyACMxxx). This could help with mini arduino (without serial) and some special serial adapters.

On my setup, I updated duino with the latest version, but I had to make some modification to make it works.

In plugins/arduino/index.js i've replaced
this.board = new duino.Board();

With
this.board = new duino.Board({
device: "ACM"
});

Same modification had to be done in plugins/rgblights/index.js .

With the latest duino version, it is also possible to change the communication baud rate with the arduino. Of course, this has to be done in the arduino app.

In that cas, init have to be changed to 👍 this.board = new duino.Board({
baudrate: 9600",
device: "ACM"
});

Hope that will help.

Hello,

i try to install heimcontrol.js
i installed already but the compile mongodb and node need more then 10 hours on my raspberrypi B
now i have to new install all and i hope anybody can tell me if this long compile on raspberry normal
or what i can do

thanks a lot for any help

Hello.
Is possible to add more than one arduino board for each Raspberry Pi? Maybe a LAN with all arduinos connected by ethernet cable.

Hi,

I just installed heimcontrol. However i can't get it to work. i started the app and when i point my browser to my raspberry:8080, i got a brunch of errors regarding Jade.

Error: /home/pi/heimcontrol.js/views/layout.jade:5
3| head
4| title heimcontrol.js | #{title}

5| link(rel='stylesheet', href='#{theme}')

7| link(rel='stylesheet', href='/css/font-awesome.min.css')
8| link(rel='stylesheet', href='/css/heimcontrol.css')

It seems the #{theme} is not properly interpreted. I there somethig to configure in config/development.json regarding mongodb? An other config to do?

Mongo proprely connects :
pi@raspberrypi ~/heimcontrol.js $ opt/mongo/bin/mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.1.1
connecting to: test

Thaks for pointing me the right direction...
JPC

I want to use the raspberry-s gpio port for reading inputs also, output its working great.

I want to see the state of the relays, even after system restart, and for this i wanted to use some of the gpio ports to see if it's on or off.

First of all I cannot set on the gpio settings page the direction to input, every tine when i hit save, it comes back to output.

I went to the database, and i changed there, from output to input, but alway i have the down state, even if i see with command line gpio readall the changing state.

Thank you.

I had issues getting anything working when RCswitch was connected on anything below pin 10, so i assume something is up with single digits.

Heimcontrol is up and running for me on my pi, but having problems with arduino.

I have a macbook which I can use to upload the duino code to the arduino, but there are errors. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing things right. Can someone please help?

I have the following equipment for my home automation setup.
Raspberry pi
Macbook air
Arduino Uno R3 + rf transmitter etc.

I was a bit confused how to set up the RC-Sockets with the gui, because there were 10 switches but only 8 possible characters. Although I thought 1 means switched on, 0 switched off.

I figured out that A code like "0F00FFFFFFF0" is the actual code which is "switched" on the Remote socket. Then I saw that to the 8 digits is something added in:
~/heimcontrol.js/plugins/arduino/index.js like

if (item.value) {
return that.pins[item.pin].triState(item.code + "0FFF");}

I saw that the ELRO needs "Code" + FF for switch off and +F0 for switch on. I changed the code to triState(item.code + "FFFF")/triState(item.code + "FFF0") and also testet it directly with the arduinofunction called mySwitch.sendTriState("0F00FFFFFFF0"); and it worked. But back in the GUI I entered just the first 8 DIGITS of the whole code and it refused to work.

Any Idea why? Is there a guide on how to set this up?

This is the error I get when I try to run my heimcontrol.js. I did the "npm install" and mongodb is up and running! I'm not sure whats going on!

I am still fairly new with working with the pi along with all this stuff. It is a learning process.
I am currently working on a home automation system and I have mongodb working properly on my raspberry pi. When I try to start heimcontrol.js i get an error.

Thanks much for any and all help.

I want to extend the android app to support the rc-switch.

Currently, the route for api requests is set as follows:
157 app.all('/api/:plugin/:method?', Routes.isAuthorized, Routes.api, Routes.notFound);

This works for example for the GPIO plugin, because the route would be api/gpio/get
or similar. Now for Arduino Plugins, I also need to pass the which of the three methods (arduino-rcswitch, arduino-irremote, arduino-led).

How would you go about passing that data? Add another route? Or just pass the method as a parameter in the json object?

I am new to hardware, I want to use this project. so I want to buy hardware , please provide me technical specification of Raspberry pi and arduino board.

links will be more helpful

Thanks in advance.

When running "node heimcontrol.js" the following error occurs "Failed to connect to MongoDB: Error: failed to connect to [127.0.0.1:27017]"

What do you think about using the csrf protection middleware that's basically included by Express?

Thanks for your awesome heimcontrol work!
I followed the getting started manual step by step (http://ni-c.github.io/heimcontrol.js/get-started.html) and can't wait to have it running.
But unfortunately on the last step I get errors (see the log below).
Reboot and so on doesn't help.
I'm not sure what the first message tells me. Where should I set that options?
How do I fix the /dev/ error?

Longstory Short: Awesome Project! It works and can control outputs of my Arduino via the Phone (even from outside of my flat).

Question: Is there any possibility to send a HTTP request to Switch on a Port/RC-Power-Socket? Like the RC-Switch does? I'm not that familiar with coding, maybe I've missed something. Would be awesome, becuase I'd love to automate somehting like:
Entering my Wifi->Sending something to turn on the Stereo :)

Hi,
it take me days to install heimdroid.js on my rasparrypi. Finaly it works, BUT i cant switch an LED on or of if the LED is pluged into my Arduino . Using the gpio pins from Raspberrypi works great.

If I press the on/off switch for the LED in the browser the orange little led (rx) of my Arduino blink but nothing happend.

Please help because i love this projekt very much, thanks Dominikus
Is it nesessery to upload some code to the Arduino ?

I have some problems with heimcontrol/raspberry and my webcam.

In heimcontrol I set my USB Logitech c250 webcam to work with streamer.
First I set no intervall, and my raspberry crashed immediately.
Then I tried with 50s, then 10s and 2s intervall.
It works ok, viewable with all my devices, but sometimes I run in a new crash again.
The webcam status LED is then on all the time.
Then the heimcontrol site is gone, the raspberry is completely frozen and I only can cut the power and boot again.
Sometimes before the crash I get errors like this (I can't see what happens when it crashes because it freezes the screen completely, no keyboard and mouse is working anymore):

Does anyone know the problem? Is it because of heimcontrol, or streamer, or my webcam?

Logitech C250 usb Webcam
Raspberry Pi Model B Rev2 512Mb with Raspbian

I tried arduino pro micro USB arduino clones (based on Sparkfun design : https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11098 ).
There's no detection error, but there's also no commuication. TX/RX led don't blink when sending orders.
Swapping pro micro with an Uno makes it work.
No idea on what happens, but i suppose detected device name is not the same.

I know, the DHT sensors are not included yet in duino library, but in my situation i think i have problems with the communication with arduino board.

I have tryed with the original duino code on Arduino board and i have the same issue anyway.

I will put two example output(in the pictures below), maybe somebody can help me, now i have no more ideas.

1. first : example sensor-throttled.js from duino examples, everything looks OK:

1. second: heimcontrol.js with debug enabled in plugins/duino/ - you can see the communication problem, it's not synchronized or something. The worst is when i get Null...

I already have re installed the whole raspbian, and mongo, and node, everything, but no success.

Thank you in advance for your ideas.

I just installed using the getting started guide and i'm trying to setup some of my machines for WOL.

After typing them in, I hit save and was greeted by a setting saved msg.
Went to home and found it was empty.
Went back to settings, also empty.

My console shows:

Any idea's?

hello,
i follow all the steps to install and the first time run nice! close the ssh windows and re run heimcontrol.js

/home/pi/heimcontrol.js/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/db.js:286
throw err;
^
ReferenceError: requirejs is not defined

anyone know what happens?

if remove, reinstall heimcontrol.js... run nice.

i followed the installation tutorial and when I typed the command 'sudo service mongodb start' i got an error saying: 'could not find /opt/mongo/bin/mongod'.

pi@raspberrypi /etc/init.d $ sudo sevice mongodb start
could not find /opt/mongo/bin/mongod

I havy no idea what I did wrong

Hello,

i installed already heimcontrol.js on my raspberry pi.
The Raspi is connect with arduino mega
i can login in the heimcontrol webinterface http://myip:8080

i can also create some items.
But if i use this items then i get this error-message on Raspi-Terminal-output
Error when trying to open pin 13
/bin/sh: 1: gpio-admin: not found

Error when trying to close pin 13
/bin/sh: 1: gpio-admin: not found

then is think, if i login in the heimcontrol and i switch to any settings, thats very slow.

what i can do to check if all is correct configured?

best regards and thnaks for any help

Jürgen

I have been struggling for a week trying to figure out what went wrong. I had this running fine from outside my house and controlling an led on a breadboard. When I restarted my pi and attempted to run 'node heimcontrol.js', I am greeted with 'info - socket.io started' (expected), the two instances of 'events.js:2817: Uncaught Error: Cannot open /dev/' and no return of listening on port. I've checked and changed my permissions of /dev/ to 'drwxr-xr-x 12 pi root 3100 Sep 28 15:58 dev'. I know 777 isn't the best practice, but I was trying to see if that was the issue. I've tried to locate the events.js to dig deeper, but no luck. What should I check next? I've run out of ideas.

Thank you for putting this library together, I am really looking forward to seeing how much I can extend this through my house and backyard(chicken coop). I'm a front end dev learning node and mongo and this is an awesome project! (Apologies if this is not the correct place to post, just hoping to receive some clarity).

Edit 01: I pointed my Pi browser to 127.0.0.1:8080 and was greeted with a page 'Motion 3.2.12 Running [1] Threads' and a hyperlink 'All' which leads to settings. I am assuming that I created a video module in Heimcontrol and did not finish the setup since Motion did not detect my camera (RPi camera module).

Hey Willi,

I'm trying to get heimcontrol working with my Ubuntu setup. I followed your steps and the server (on localhost:8080) is working (I can access the websites). The problem is, that the connection to my Arduino is not established. In the terminal I get the following error:
info - socket.io started
heimcontrol.js listening on port 8080
events.js:2817: Uncaught Error: Cannot open /dev/
events.js:2817: Uncaught Error: Cannot open /dev/

I have an Arduino Nano v3

Thanks for any help :-)

Hi,

I wanted to try a temperature sensor on the arduino with the following formula:

0.00335402+(0.0002439*ln((1023/x)-1))

When I hit SAVE, Heimcontrol freezes and throws me the following error:

undefined:1
0.00335402+(0.0002439*ln((1023/560)-1))
^
ReferenceError: ln is not defined

How can I fix this error?
Is there a possibility to catch the error before it freezes Heimcontrol?

I want to connect to heimcontrol.js through an API, so I can make an iPhone/Android.

I got an authentication system working with an token key quite easily. I'm stuck however at sending requests with the token to the plugins with socket.io.

To me it seems like socket.io requires a cookie to send requests to the plugins. Do you have an idea how to work around this? So I can just use the token to send requests to the plugins?

I set up an experimental branch, here is my auth token implementation so far: JorisM@9edf819
Thanks

Has anyone made a plug in or some example code which just takes a button and sends out a command through the serialport..

I don't want to use an arduino but another processor and would love to use heim control to just send out my own strings out the port..

Hi all,

How do i Start heimcontrol.js on startup or service? Without it crashing, because i tried it with a script but it gives me errors.

Sorry very noob
