Homescreen

This is a service for your personal touchscreen at home. You can display and control all your home automatization functions. We will provide some interesting modules but feel free to contribute and submit your own plugins! The homescreen provides an easily usabled plugin interface.

Requirements for compiling

• Go to compile the backend
• Glide to load backend dependencies
• Node.js
• If you are using the (old) AngularJS-Forntend:
  • Bower to load the AngularJS frontend dependencies

Quickstart

after you got the project working following the guide in "Compile it yourself", and this works without any errror, you can use the quicker way to start the backend, the module library and the Angular frontend. Just navigate into the frontend directory and run:

npm run start-all

Compile it yourself

• go get this project
  • go get github.com/homescreenrocks/homescreen
• load dependencies
  • glide install the backend dependencies from main directory
  • For the Angular-Frontend: npm install the frontend dependencies from core/app folder
  • For the (old) AngularJS-Frontend: bower install the frontend dependencies from core/angularjs folder
• get the plugins you want
  • go get github.com/homescreenrocks/homescreen-plugin-example
• compile and start the homescreen core
  • execute in the main directory: go build core/backend/app.go && ./app
• compile and start a plugin
  • cd to the plugin: go build example/main.go && ./main http://localhost:3000

we should provide a more easy way of usage :)

Use the binaries

Frontend requirements

• any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox)

homescreen's Issues

Selfi-automat

UPnP Control Point

Control ur upnp media renderers

• upnp media servers

write a standardized way of response status

initialize modulesetting.default with correct type

dont make use of blacklistet gulp-shell

see https://github.com/gulpjs/plugins/blob/master/src/blackList.json

Automatization

We should use an automatization tool to define some tasks like:

• use a default config
• Mac OSX
  • start backend and serve frontend
  • minify, uglify code and create map-files
  • initial setup (maybe with example data)
  • run tests
• MS Windows
  • start backend and serve frontend
  • minify, uglify code and create map-files
  • initial setup (maybe with example data)
  • run tests

Edit function in backend doesn't work

I just realized, that the edit function in backend for items doesn't work.
Can you find the error @TilmannBach ? https://github.com/homescreenrocks/homescreen/blob/master/backend/routes/shoppinglist.js#L106,L116
I thought that I override the old object in the database, but it seems not like that.

Rest-API

Design Rest-API functions.

Image and Video Gallery

Add a Image and video gallery

compile @angular instead of simple copying the pre compiled js files

make backend services configurable

backend services should be configureable through the backend config

• change module parameters
• activate / deactivate them

VBB

Implement an Duration Monitor for VBB.

• search for a station
• current connections
• search for station-to-station connections

RSS-Feed List

Add an Interface for displaying and adding RSS-Feeds

build a fancy webpage for the homescreen project

http://homescreen.rocks

• use jekyll
• build it by travis

modulemanager: make it possible to terminate/unload/disable a module

integrate redis as datastore

it also enables a pub/sub system for communication between our components. not sure if it is suitable for environments like a raspi.

• maybe also the settings should be stored in this store

votio.rocks implementation

Add pixel display driver

cleanup of package.json

get rid of unneeded modules and upgrade them to newer versions.

on store setting for module: check user input against possible values

twitter module

Voting System

Add an Voting system which is synchronized between different homescreens.
Some use cases:

• Tatort voting
• Party voting
• etc.

implement frontend with angular

• angular
• bootstrap 4
• ng-bootstrap

• Basic template with Header

WeatherModul: call initializeOpenWeather only once

npm package jade has been deprecated and renamed to pug

REST proxy

build a proxy for frontend calls to the modules REST Interface through the core

implement a settings manager

[backend] implement a datastore for the use by plugins

• access via REST Interface
• PUT/GET/DELETE

Weather display

Ad a Service for displaying current wether data.

• use API from http://openweathermap.org/
• make the location configurable

use glide for go dependencies

improve setup

• gulp install ?
• create new package.json for build folder

we can use postinstall for tasks after installing node_modules:

get modules returns number formats as string

when loading all modules with their settings:

• a Settings value of type number is returned as string

Provide the frontend as an electron app

This would be great for using the homescreen as a desktop application:
https://electron.atom.io/

add a logger class for backend

Shopping-List

a shopping list interface
Therefore it would be also practical to have a thin client for using with mobile phone (maybe in a separated repository)

Bach cantatas calendar

• Needs to implement liturgic calendar
• Use spotify api for automatic playback

cleaning rota

upload new module as zip via frontend

overview: make use of the LiveTileService to get the components tiles contents

and load them dynamically to the overview screen
-> use DynamicComponentLoader

add watchdog for modules

Modul Ical display

n-Termin Anzeige oder Tagesanzeige etc.

Plugin library for easy usage of backend functions

define on how a base-modules publishes its live tiles

and move live tile logic from overview to module itself
