Iot.Home.Pi

IoT Home Assistant API for Raspberry Pi

Introduction

This project tests interaction between Home Assistant and Docker containers. Previous texts from this series include:

  • IoT.Starter.Pi.Thing: Embryos for Home Intelligence using Raspberry Pi with Linux, Docker & .NET Core. This project is based on a Raspberry Pi model 3B equipped with Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.1 Stretch Lite and a web service, generated almost automatically by Swagger Hub. The embryo platform includes API and UI in separated containers to boost the start phase of IoT initiatives.
  • IoT.Home.Thing: Home of Things added Raspberry# IO to the platform. It is a .NET/Mono IO Library for Raspberry Pi, initiative of the Raspberry# Community. First updated to .Net Standard 1.6 by Ramon Balaguer, then upgraded to .NET Core 2.1 and integrated to the IoT.Starter.Pi embryo.

Since we are building an embryo for an IoT starter, an empty MVC website has been provided until now as the seed for the user interface (UI). Now, this empty user interface will be substituted by the Home Assistant application, allowing faster and productive results immediately after the project is launched.

Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform running on Python 3. It is used to track and control all devices at home and has many utilities to help us with automation control. You can check at Home Assistant blog how dynamic is the community with constant updates and upgrades for the platform. We expect to interact Home Assistant with the embryo API available at the IoT.Starter.Pi thing device.

Generate image disk

There are many ways to install Home Assistant, since it supports many different hardware platforms. This project focus on Haspbian, a disk image that contains all needed to run Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi.

The Haspbian image is built with same script that generates the official Raspbian image's from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The same tool used to create the raspberrypi.org Raspbian images was forked from home-assistant/pi-gen repository. The final stages were ripped off and a new stage-3 was replaced to install Home Assistant. With the exception of git , all dependencies are handled by the build script.

For this project, this pi-gen tool was forked again from home-assistant/pi-gen to josemotta/pi-gen and a new thing branch added a stage-4 to include Lirc installation and other initial setup for the IoT.Starter.Pi embryo. Please check the run.sh script below, showing some useful dependencies added to the disk image.

#!/bin/bash -e

install -d "${ROOTFS_DIR}/var/run/lirc"
install -m 666 -d "${ROOTFS_DIR}/home/pi/config"
install -m 666 -d "${ROOTFS_DIR}/home/pi/backup"

rm -f "${ROOTFS_DIR}/etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/devinput.lircd.conf"

install -m 644 files/i2c1-bcm2708.dtbo "${ROOTFS_DIR}/boot/overlays"

install -m 644 files/config.txt "${ROOTFS_DIR}/boot/config.txt"

install -m 644 files/AppConfig.json "${ROOTFS_DIR}/app"

install -m 755 files/setup.sh "${ROOTFS_DIR}/home/pi/setup.sh"

rm -f "${ROOTFS_DIR}/etc/default/keyboard"
install -m 644 files/keyboard "${ROOTFS_DIR}/etc/default/keyboard"

cat << EOF >> ${ROOTFS_DIR}/etc/samba/smb.conf
[config]
path = /home/pi/config
available = yes
valid users = pi
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
[backup]
path = /home/pi/backup
available = yes
valid users = pi
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
EOF

As you can see, the stage-4 also installs and configure the Samba server to expose a couple folders:

  • /home/pi/config: folder for the Home Assistant configuration
  • /home/pi/backup: folder to backup/restore the embryo setup

After running pi-gen for half an hour on a virtual Debian machine created on my development PC, a SD disk image is generated with all dependencies installed. Burn the image with Etcher and get the heart of the embryo, ready to be implanted at the Raspberry Pi drive. The image was tested on RPI 2B/3B with success. Keep the SD disk for a while because we will build the project first.

Build at developer machine

According to IoT.Starter.Pi.Thing strategy, build is done outside RPI, using a fast x64 micro equipped with Windows 10, Visual Studio, Docker and Hyper-V. At the development machine, we should build the project with docker-compose command, according to api.yml file.

Please see the file below including api, hass, mosquitto and portainer services.

Following is a brief description of each service:

  • api: this is the API generated by Swagger Hub, it contains the embryo messages.
  • hass: this is the Home Assistant application, used as UI for the embryo.
  • mosquitto: a MQQT broker to be used by Home Assistant logic.
  • portainer: this is a simple management solution for Docker.

Building the solution is a long run that includes compiling the API generated by Swagger Hub and the Raspberry# IO library. The current solution also includes the empty UI MVC website that was used previously in this series. Below a shortcut of the build session:

Final build step should use again the docker-compose command, this time to push API image to Docker Hub. See it in action below:

jo@CANOAS24 MINGW64 /c/_git/IoT.Home.Pi/home (master)
$ docker-compose -f api.yml push

Now, we can go to RPI to deploy the embryo.

Deploy to RPI

The SD disk with the embryo heart is inserted into Raspberry Pi driver slot. The board is already equipped with an Anavi Infrared pHat, an add-on board that converts your Raspberry Pi to a smart remote control. It also supports sensor modules for temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and light. Please check the RPI below with three sensors attached and at top left the double infrared leds that provide strong IR signals. Anavi Infrared pHat is attached through the RPI GPIO connector. Raspberry Pi also has 5V power and is connected to a Internet router by the RJ-45 network cable.

On the very first run the file system is initialized. After boot, we should login to the Raspberry Pi for the first time and change the initial password for pi user. Please note it was kept "raspberry", the same from raspberrypi.org Raspbian image. Since SSH is available, it is possible to use the headless RPI, opening a bash terminal from another micro computer. Otherwise, just plug the USB keyboard and HDMI connectors to interact directly with the embryo.

Clone the repo

Let's start a bash session from the development PC, using ssh. Check below pi@copa, the chosen hostname for this demo.

jo@CANOAS24 MINGW64 ~
$ ssh pi@copa
pi@copa's password:

Let's clone the Iot.Home.Pi repository locally at Raspberry Pi. Thanks to the modified pi-gen, there should be already a script for that at pi default folder.

pi@copa:~ $ cat setup.sh
#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Home Setup
REPO="https://github.com/josemotta/IoT.Home.Pi.git"
HOME="/home/pi/IoT.Home.Pi"

git clone $REPO $HOME

Then, staying at default /home/pi folder, and you just need to run:

./setup.sh

Please note that this is the same repo used to build the project at development machine. The difference is that we are now at the RPI side. We expect to use the docker-compose command twice, always based on same api.yml file used before at build:

  • First to pull the images from Docker Hub and
  • Second to orchestrate the respective containers

The folder ~/IoT.Home.Pi/home should contain the essential files for the embryo project.

pi@copa:~ $ cd I*/home

Install Docker

There is a setup.sh script in the Hass folder to install Docker and docker-compose. As explained before, the latest version of docker-compose for RPI was built manually and is installed by the setup script. Also a password should be set to protect the exposed config & backup folders.

#!/bin/sh
set -e

DOCKER_COMPOSE="$HOME/Docker/docker-compose"
KEY_USER="josemotta@bampli.com"
KEY_FILE="/home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa"
CONFIG_FOLDER=/home/pi/config/
BACKUP_FOLDER=/home/pi/backup/
DEFAULT_CONFIG=*_hassconfig_*
USERNAME=pi
PASSWORD=password

chmod 0777 $BACKUP_FOLDER
chmod 0777 $CONFIG_FOLDER
cp ${HOME}/Hass/${DEFAULT_CONFIG} ${BACKUP_FOLDER}

# Docker
curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sh get-docker.sh
usermod -aG docker pi

# Docker-compose
cp $DOCKER_COMPOSE /usr/local/bin
chown root:root /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# Senha inicial do "config"
echo -e "$PASSWORD\n$PASSWORD" | smbpasswd -a -s -c /etc/samba/smb.conf $USERNAME

# SSH
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C $KEY_USER -q -N "" -f $KEY_FILE

Change directory to Hass and run sudo ./setup.sh to finish RPI setup. Then check if Docker is running fine.

The containers are running and we can check ports 5000, 8123, and 9000 to view respective UIs from all services.

Viewing results from embryo

The Home Assistant dashboard shows the available status, including available sensors.

Portainer manager screens show all details about containers and running images:

There is also the embryo API generated by Swagger Hub, showing sensor data collected using the Raspberry# IO library.

The Remote API can issue infrared commands using curl, for example:

The Swagger UI can also be used to issue IR commands, as shown below:

Conclusions

The IoT.Home.Pi embryo is ready to be customized, using the automatic code generator from Swagger Hub to help with API design. The Home Assistant should be properly configured to show information and control available devices. The Portainer manager allows checking all containers and their related info. It is also possible to stop and run containers using both portainer and docker-compose methods.

Have fun and a nice job in your IoT initiative!
