A home automation server written in JavaScript

Hi! Could use your help (yes, you).

This project has lofty goals. digs, ultimately:

• should be first-class home automation server
• should support an assortment of interfaces, including:
  • a RESTful API
  • a slick user interface
  • a command-line interface
  • a MQTT interface
• should support a wide range of:
  • devices
  • configurations
  • communication protocols
  • storage options
• should be easy to configure
• should be well-documented and well-tested

If this sounds good to you, I'm hoping you can lend a hand. I am but a man. Send a PR, create an issue to discuss, or shoot me (Christopher Hiller) an email.

• Local device configuration (things like Arduinos connected via USB)
• Local component configuration (Johnny-Five Components; see API)
• hapi-digs: Hapi Plugin
  • A simple RESTful API
  • GET board and component lists and detail
  • Execute any public method of a configured component via POST request
• hapi-digs-example: Demo!

Roughly in order of importance.

• Make issues for this crap.
• Breakout routing and Hapi plugin into own module
• Plugin API
  • Think about entry points into core API
  • Hell, define the core API. What is it, exactly?
  • Implement hooks, events, etc.
• Document RESTful API; Swagger?
• Scheduled tasks
  • Persistent storage?
• WiFi device configuration & communication
  • Document MQTT protocol
  • Expose MQTT "broker"
  • Leverage Mosca when support for io.js 2.x lands.
  • Learn just wtf "QoS" is.
• Hot-plugging; on-the-fly configuration
• Abstraction layer; communicate with things like ATtiny devices (unless that SoftwareSerialFirmata library ever gets written)
• UI
• CLI
• Sandbox
• Run as daemon
• Get a sweet logo
• to be continued...
