A simple Django service with the goal of controlling and monitoring specific devices through the home.

Home automation gives you access to control and monitor devices in your home from a mobile device anywhere in the world. The term may be used for isolated programmable devices, like thermostats and lighting systems, but home automation more accurately describes homes in which nearly everything — lights, appliances, electrical outlets, heating and cooling systems — are hooked up to a remotely controllable network.

• Python
• Pipenv

Install required project dependencies and run the migrations to setup the SQLite Database.

pipenv install
python manage.py migrate

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

The Docker-based workflow makes it possible to run the service against local or remote backing services by editing configuration values and typing docker-compose up.

Alternatively, to run the service and it's linked services you will need to ensure the service ports are specified by using the following command:

docker-compose run --service-ports --name home_automation --rm service
