You need to add your credentials for MQTT broker, WIFI and database where you find this string with an applicable note.

Key features

• Switch plugwise plugs on and off via RFID chips
• Access control via ESP8266 and RFID-reader
• Device management of plugwise devices, RFID chips and ESP8266 via webinterface
• Usermanagement via webinterface
• Communication between ESPs and backend via MQTT

FabLabESP

Implementation for the ESPs that controls the RFID-Reader and sends MQTT commands to the broker

Paths where you have to add credentials: FabLabESP/FabLabESP.ino

Plugwise-2-py

1. Install Python

2. Install required python packages via pip install packagename. To install Django version 1.11 use the command pip install django==1.11

   • pip install django==1.11 paho-mqtt "channels<2.0\ simplejson django_extensions pillow django-bootstrap-ui django-widget-tweaks django-template-debug

3. Install an MQTT broker

   • pip install mosquitto

Testing installation

1. Change the database in fablab-webif/fablab-webif/settings.py to the SQLite database
2. Setup a user with the password from the settings.py in the MQTT broker
   • for Mosquitto use the command mosquitto_passwd -c /path/to/pwfile
3. Migrate your database
   • python2 manage.py makemigrations
   • python2 manage.py migrate
4. Run server via python manage.py runserver

The server should now run locally.
