Iss-gateway NPM

iss-gateway

ISS-Gateway for Domoticz is a gateway (really ?!) to display Domoticz devices into ImperiHome mobile interface. It run perfectly on a Raspberry Pi with a minimal footprint (approx. 50Mb) and can work in a cluster for performance improvment.

ISS-Gateway is a fork and also a portage from ISS-Domo.

Todo-list

Better manage user configuration (create user config file if not exist)
Add AUTH Basic security layer on top of ISS-Gateway
Better implementation of DevThermostat (actually only Heating Point is functional)
Add history system and change graphable attribue to true
And so one...

Installation

Start by installing it using NPM :

$ sudo npm install iss-gateway -g

Ensure it's correctly installed :

$ iss-gateway

The result must be :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ iss-gateway
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISS-Gateway for Domoticz v0.0.4
Global config file is /usr/lib/node_modules/iss-gateway/config.json
User config must be placed in /etc/iss-gateway.json
Domoticz is configured on http://admin:admin@host_or_ip:8080/json.htm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can stop the process by typing CTRL+C in your console.

Create user configuration

Create (only once time) your configuration file by copying it from the global configuration file :

sudo cp /usr/lib/node_modules/iss-gateway/config.json /etc/iss-gateway.json

See configuration steps before launching the gateway.

Launching at startup

The best solution is to use PM2 (The awesome Process Manager for NodeJS processes) :

$ sudo npm install pm2 -g

Note that it can be also installed locally without -g option. In this case, config file path could be different depending of your system.

Then, start iss-gateway on PM2

$ pm2 start iss-gateway

The result must be :

$ pm2 status
┌────────────────────┬────┬──────┬───────┬────────┬─────────┬────────┬─────────────┬──────────┐
│ App name           │ id │ mode │ pid   │ status │ restart │ uptime │ memory      │ watching │
├────────────────────┼────┼──────┼───────┼────────┼─────────┼────────┼─────────────┼──────────┤
│ iss-gateway        │ 0  │ fork │ 30475 │ online │ 0       │ 15m    │ 58.160 MB   │ disabled │
└────────────────────┴────┴──────┴───────┴────────┴─────────┴────────┴─────────────┴──────────┘

Generate an init script

$ sudo pm2 startup systemd

Is it possible to specify an user by adding -u at the end of the startup command.

Update an existing installation

If you have already installed a previous version of ISS-Gateway, to update do :

$ sudo npm update iss-gateway -g

Then, reload the current running instance :

$ pm2 reload iss-gateway
[PM2] Reloading process by name iss-gateway
[PM2][WARN] iss-gateway app can't be reloaded - restarting it
[PM2] restartProcessId process id 0
[PM2] All processes reloaded
