Domoticz running on LiV Pi

Post by AlfredC »

Hello,

I just wanted to show my project here to see if anyone on this forum would be interested in it.
If there is a better place on the forum for this post (maybe a dedicated hardware sub-forum?) please let me know and I will move it there.

LiV Pi is a Raspberry Pi based, open source, DIY indoor air quality monitor.
It measures CO2, temperature and humidity. Although air pressure is not a measure of indoor air quality, I found it useful to add a barometric pressure sensor to LiV.

LiV is an internet connected device (Jabber, email, twitter, Intranet website, JSON APIs, connection to multiple IoT platforms: ThingSpeak, Xively, DeviceHive, etc... )

You can find detailed info about LiV here: http://www.livpi.com

I was able to set up LiV so that it can also be be used as a Domoticz server, running both livpi (port 5000) and domoticz(port 8080) servers. I configured LiV so that at boot time it also starts domoticz and starts pushing data to LiV Pi dummy devices configured in Domoticz. This is done through a Python process that reads local livpi measurements and uses domoticz JSON APIs to write them into domoticz DB (thanks Rob for suggesting this approach some time ago.)

I am trying to see if there are any Raspberrry Pi users on this forum who would be interested in LiV Pi running Domoticz.
For Domoticz users, I will include an SD card with LiV Pi image with Domoticz support in this package:

You can also get an acrylic case for your device:

Based on your interest, I could also offer a fully assembled LiV Pi unit (Raspberry Pi 3 inside) that runs livpi and domoticz:

If there are more people interested in LIV/Domoticz, I might run a small indiegogo campaign “LiV Pi Domoticz Edition”.

LiV Pi provides a set of JSON APIs for software integration (Python Flask) and has an LCD screen, so I think Domoticz developers might be able to create some interesting applications (e.g. domoticz alerts and/or error messages being displayed on LiV Pi’s LCD). I am not a Domoticz user myself, I am just starting to experiment with Domoticz. Based on your experience, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on what features you would find useful in a LIV Pi device that runs Domoticz.

Please refer to this link for a few photos showing Domoticz integration with LiV Pi:

Sorry for the long post.

Thank you,
