Marvin is a character for your home that enhances your life. Marvin is software that runs on a beaglebone along with a cape that contains a number of added sensors (available upon request).
This github repository contains Marvin's software. Marvin currently has the following abilities:
- to interact via a web interface
- to control hue light bulbs
- to detect motion via its motion sensor
- turn on nightlights upon sensing motion when in sleep mode
- track history of motion
- to detect ambient light levels via its light sensor
- turn on lights when it gets dark if in awake mode
- to track and key off of activity
- sleeping causes Marvin to turn off ligths and turn on motion triggered nightlights
- waking causes Marvin to slowly fade on lights (AKA sunrise)
- to schedule lighting or activity transitions for different times of the day and week
- to turn on and off various behaviours
- nightlights switch for turning off motion triggered nightlights
- schedule switch for turning off schedule
- to detect presence
- marvin - program containing the server daemon
- marvin/nog - package containing the message center
- marvin/web - package containing web interface
If you are installing Marvin on your BeagleBone we are using 13.10 via rcn-ee.net.
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make mercurial
Marvin is written in Go so you will need a Go environment to build and install it. You will probably want to put the GOPATH and GOROOT environment variables in your ~/.profile.
hg clone -u release https://code.google.com/p/go
sudo mv go /opt/go
cd /opt/go
./all.bash
export GOPATH=$HOME
export GOROOT=/opt/go
Marvin's needs a nodejs environment for managing external javascript and css dependencies using Bower.
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.21/node-v0.10.21.tar.gz
tar xvfz node-v0.10.21.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.21
./configure --without-snapshot
sudo make install
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
sudo npm install -g bower
go get -v -u github.com/nogiushi/marvin
pushd `go list -f '{{.Dir}}' github.com/nogiushi/marvin/web`; npm install; bower install; grunt
sudo cp ../conf/marvin.json /etc/marvin.json
sudo cp ../conf/marvin.conf /etc/init/marvin.conf
sudo start marvin
