These are the instructions for installing pi-power on a Raspberry Pi. For more details see www.penguintutor.com/pi-power
Warning - this software does not require any authentication Anyone with access to the network that the Raspberry Pi is on can turn the sockets on and off.
This program uses the Python Bottle library.
It is important to install bottle through pip (or manually if you prefer) as the version installed using apt-get on the Raspberry Pi will not work
To install bottle enter the following two commands whilst connected to the Internet.
sudo apt-get install python-pip sudo pip install bottle
The energenie module is also required
sudo pip install energenie
After extracting the files from the tar file run the web-power.py script as root.
ie.:
$ sudo ./web-power.py
The code is configured to use the standard http port, which is port 80. If you already have a web server running (eg. Apache / Lighttpd) then the port number will need to be changed in the web-power.py file first.
Connect to the webserver using a web browser. You will need to know the ip address which can be found using:
$ ip addr
The program is designed to run standalone without any other web servers installed on the computer. If you need this alongside another web server then you may need to change the port number in the web-power.py file.
The menu options can be customized by editing the index.html file.
The program can be set to startup automatically by copying the startup script to init.d
sudo cp web-power.startup /etc/init.d/web-power sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/web-power sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/web-power sudo update-rc.d web-power
