: The room is busy. (An activity is currently in this room).
: The room is free.

Last version of NodeJS.
Last version of Git.
Libraries
- Axios v0.8

Build Setup

Just about everything you need is setup for you.

Set an internet connection to IONIS or plug it in ethernet.

# Pull the project

$ git clone https://github.com/HugoWALTER/EpiLights.git

# Get your autolog at this address (https://intra.epitech.eu/admin/autolog) and replace the token into the service.

$ nano epilight.service and replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your autolog

# Install dependencies

$ npm install
  
# Copy service into systemd

$ cp epilight.service /etc/systemd/system/epilight.service

# Enable service

$ systemctl enable epilight.service

# Start service

$ systemctl start epilight.service

All the job will be done for you !

Troubleshooting

In case of index.js in the EpiLights repository doesn't work after a successful reboot :

Please check the status of the service ("systemctl status epilight.service")
Please go in the Epilights repository and launch this command: "node index.js" and let the script run.

In case of the connection crashed :

An auto-refresh condition is setup for you to call the intranet each minute to update the rooms.

A room is missing ?

Only add the room in the config.js and setup GPIO port for the room
