PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Home Events

Home Events process packets, and detect events in the local network,.

Consider the following scenarios (which could be very common in most households):

1. Parents go to the work in the morning

2. Parents take kids to school

3. Someone turn on the TV in the afternoon

For each of these scenarios, we can define conditions (pre and post) and actions to be executed.

For example, when everybody left home, turn off the TV and activate monitoring cameras automatically.

Home Assistant automation is a powerful, well-designed feature for these tasks, however, creating the states and triggers is a bit cumbersome.

In this project, we try to decouple the events and leave the action for systems like Home Assistant to handle.

It consists of three main components:

Quickstart

Install CircuitPython on your device: Download the https://circuitpython.org/board/raspberry_pi_pico/, disconnect PICO, hold the BOOT button down, connect and copy the UF2 file to the PICO and release the BOOT button.
Copy libraries to `lib` folder on the device. These are tested and working: https://github.com/home-events/w5100s-circuit-python-libs
Create your `config.json` in `src/` folder. See `config-sample.json` for an example.
Copy `src/` folder to the root of your device.
