README

Let's get started with Youre PireMonitor setup!

What is this repository for?

The PireMonitor allows you to use your Raspberry Pi to monitor your Fire Alarm System using the dry contacts from your FACP!
Beta 1.4

How do I get set up?

On your Raspberry Pi, you need at least 3 GPIO pins available. By default, the assigned GPIO is 23, 24, and 25 (Physical Pins 16, 18, and 22 on RPI 3)
In order to set this up, you will need to connect the associated GPIO pin, to the COMMON portion of the relay for Fire, Trouble, and Supervisory.
Connect the associated Normally Open (NO) contact on the relay to Pin 6 on your Pi (Ground)

Download and place the Python script on your Raspberry Pi, be sure to edit information in the file. Information you will need to edit is as follows:
- SMTP Server
- myEmail
- toEmail
- EMAIL_PASS
- Addresses in all messages (If you choose to keep the address, you can set the message to whatever you like)

Run the script! By default it will not print out any messages, but rather save any events in Fire_Monitor.log in the same directory as the script.

I recommend using forever to run the script, and also setting it up to boot with the Pi!

Who do I talk to?

Is it broken? Create a ticket in the "Issues" page and be as specific as possible! I want to help!
Have suggestions on how to make it better? I want to know! Look at the ideas I have for the project down below!

What's coming in the future?

I have some plans of how I want to improve this!
- Add a way to supervise the GPIO circuits, causing a trouble if a wire is not connected
- Come up with a more effective method for constantly searching to see if the state of a relay has changed (less ram heavy)
- Clean up the code, and make install easier if possible!
- RS232 (Serial) port compatibility to add more data into the system!
