After testing most of the components that came as part of the kit, and doing some re-planing of which components to use as part of Hub, and which ones to go with for the spokes, here is a blog post that show how to setup motion on the Pi to stream vi...
In one of my previous posts, [PiIoT#03]: Cheap BLE Beacons with nRF24L01+, I discussed how to create cheap BLE beacons with nRF24L01+ modules. In this post, I'm going to use the inbuilt BLE functionality of Pi3 to detect the presence of such BLE tags...

In this week I have managed to make a big step forward with setting up the Command Center. With this post I finalize the basic components in the RPI3 so hope to work on the features - those that will benefit us like the presence emulator, etc - in th...
A beloved family member has passed away and we have been out of state for a few days but I wanted to update with what I found out from the Solar Panels and how all of the new Bunny Rabbits are doing. Here is the data sticker, both panels have th...
This installment is about installing and using Putty, an open source terminal emulator. In addition, we will cover creating a user account and managing logins via public/private key authentication. The use of public keys eliminates the need for passw...
In this post I continue with the initial setup of the Command Center. I will focus on how to boot from a USB drive and avoid card corruption (EDIT: the openHAB installation will be done in an addtional post with the Mosquitto installation as well). B...
Back to posting new entries after a long long silent period.... I will try to catch up with my original schedule in the next days, let's go! In this entry, I will be focusing in the “Sensors Node” of the smart house. As some may suspect, I will ...
Another update to keep you seeing movement! Quick side note tomorrow I am hoping to test some Solar panels that I have been given to see if they are useable. They were damaged but I am hoping for enough power generation that they are still...
ReminderThe name originates joining the two words Art and Animatronic. Based on an original opera of the digital artist Lorenzo P. Merlo, I have further processed the opera to make it animated. The final goal is to empower the image components of a v...
Note: the [doc] distinguish the documental posts from the [tech], technical posts It was necessary waiting for the confirmation of some key aspects of the project to reach a definitive design. The creation of the components as in the design arch...
Internet of Your Things is a project about creating Personal IoT spaces for common people and putting people in the center rather the things.This page contains the index of the blog posts I created as part of the project [PiIoT#00]: Internet of ...
This blog post introduces how to create cheap bluetooth beacons with nRF24L01+ wireless modules. nRF24L01+ is a 2.4GHz wireless module from Nordic semiconductors and happens to share a very similar protocol as BLE packets. This similarity in packets ...
So, I was able to get the iLumi controlled via a python script that in turn I was able to add to OpenHAB and could control the iLumi BR30 from an OpenHAB ColorPicker, however when I attempted to add the EnOcean Pi 902 to the Raspberry Pi 3 and perfor...
The kit arrived just in time and I have worked on setting up the environment for the Command Center, based on the Raspberry Pi 3. In this post I cover the initial Command Center setup, securing SSH with SSH keys, installing and tunneling VNC through ...
Hello For my project I need to have a microphone for giving voice commands and detecting sounds. Because RaspberryPi board don't have a microphone input, I used for this task an external USB sound card adapter, Konig...
