homemon-daemon

This program runs on a device and sends regular status reports to a copy of homemon-server or homemon-receiver. It is intended to be used with an Alcatel MW41 mobile hotspot, which you need to first get root on.

Development

To build the code and run it on a connected MW41:

1. GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build
2. adb push homemon-daemon /media/card
3. adb shell "cd /media/card && ./homemon-daemon"

Configuration

Create a config.toml file in the same directory you run the daemon from. This file should look something like:

Interval = "10m"
InitialDelay = "1m"
RestartCount = 144
Host = "1.2.3.4"
Port = 7890
Token = "token goes here"
Transport = "HTTP"

Options

• Interval - the time to wait between reports
• InitialDelay - the time to wait before sending the first report (this is useful if you want to wait for, say, the network to come up after your device has restarted)
• RestartCount - the number of reports between reboots of the device (can be set to 0 to disable rebooting)
• Host - the host to send reports to (if using the UDP transport, it's recommended to make this an IP address so you don't have to do a DNS lookup, but a hostname will work)
• Port - the port on the host to send reports to (only applies to UDP transport)
• Token - the token to use for authentication, must match the token in homemon-server or homemon-receiver
• Transport - the transport to use (either HTTP or UDP)

Durations (like Interval and InitialDelay) must be in a format supported by Go's time.ParseDuration.
