CosmosCloud

The Cosmos Cloud is a smart-home system that is used to control the home (and beyond) through the use of modularized components connected to a central hub. Modules come in both a software and hardware form, interacting completely with the central server. This allows modules to interact with all other modules - giving complete control to the user to tailor to specific use cases, whether it be for accessibility, luxury, or other uses.

Setup

The app is contained in server.js. Before running, make sure to run npm install in the root directory / and bower install in /public.

A SQL server is expected to be running on localhost:3306. You can view and change the database connection in server.js.

Adjust the config.js to your specific setup. The file contains an array of hardware, in the example it is a list of Raspberry Pis. Each module may use different properties of the hardware objects. For example, the /routes/timer.js will execute all functions in the ring array.

**Most modules are configured to disable themselves if the hardware does not exist. Some will throw errors (/routes/rgb.js).

SQL

The application interacts with a sql database running on the server. Default being: { host: 'localhost', user: 'root', password: 'patsword', database: 'cosmos' } A sample database is included as the file "cosmos.sql". To create a database locally follow these steps:

Download mysql
- Verify with which mysql and which mysql.server
Create user "root" with password 'patsword'
Start mysql with mysql.server start
Create database "cosmos" through the shell by mysql -u root -p and CREATE DATABASE cosmos;
Log out of mysql shell and execute the command mysql -u root -p < cosmos.sql to import the database from file

Users

The users section of the database maps devices on the local network to people. The /routes/users.js module will ping each user and note which users are alive (connected to the LAN).

Movies, Pictures, Documents, Music

The assets for movies, pictures and documents are handled by the folder names in server.js. The default is public/assets/{movies or pictures or docs}. Music is not integrated yet.

Ledger

The ledger will keep track of shared funds among groups of people (roommates). This data is held in the database table "ledger". SQL Routes have been removed during refactoring - they are in the backlog.

Live Stream

Live streams relate directly to /routes/theatre.js, in which they can be viewed on your theatre module. Live stream links will eventually be maintained in the SQL database, but are currently hardcoded in public/js/controllers/remoteCtrl.js. Live streams are subject to change and difficult to maintain. Twitch integration will be added shortly (Food is a twitch stream).

In Development

Many features have been tested with proof of concept and are beginning to be implemented, these include:

*Apple Airplay using shairport-sync and related music player information *Relay Module and electrical socket hookup to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins (control lights/coffee maker/any electrical appliance) *IR receiver - to control actions using existing IR remotes *Button - control actions *Amazon Dash Button - Wireless convenient button to control actions *To get RSSI values from linux use: nmcli dev wifi list | egrep "wifi1|wifi2"
