timer-sense-light

A time-controllable human sense light based on Raspberry Pi, which has a web UI to control it.

一个基于树莓派的、(开关)时间可控的人体感应灯，可以通过一个web UI界面开灯、关灯，以及设置成自动模式（在感应到人接近的时候自动点亮灯），并且可以设置自动模式的工作时间段。

The Web UI(control panel of the system):

I only tested this system on Raspberry Pi Model B+(Revision 1.2) & Model B(Revision 2), but it should work on other models of RPi too, except that the hardware wiring should be some difference, and the code should need no modification.

Environment:

Raspberry Pi model: B+/B

OS: Arch Linux ARM

You can use this project to build a human sense light, in short, when a person gets close to the light, the pyroelectric module connected to Raspberry Pi will detect the human movement & ouput a high level to one of the GPIO port on RPi, then the program runs on RPi will light up some LEDs connected to it. Also, you can set the time range of day, only in those time range the LEDs can be lighten up, and in other time range the LEDs will be turned off.

Usage instruction

Dependencies installation

Before compiling this project, you should have some software packages installed on your Arch Linux ARM(besides the basic development tools such as gcc, etc.):

• WiringPi(a GPIO access library for Raspberry Pi)

  git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi && cd wiringPi && ./build

• glog(Google logging module)

  pacman -S google-glog

• libconfig(C/C++ Configuration File Library)

  pacman -S libconfig

• gtest(Google's C++ test framework) - to run the unit tests in this project

  pacman -S gtest

build the hardware system

Buy essencial electronic components and build the hardware system according to the circuit diagrams.

build the binary program

make && make install

modify the configuraion files according to your needs

vim deploy/conf/main.conf
vim deploy/conf/time-range.txt

start the backend program

cd deploy/bin
./run-timer-sense-light.sh

use any web browser to visit the web UI to set parameters(assume that your RPi's IP address is 192.168.16.108)

How to know your Raspberry Pi revision

Install WiringPi, then execute command "gpio -v" to get RPi's revision, the output info looks like:

gpio version: 2.25

Future work

Add machine-learning ability to the system, to let it auto-adjust the time range according to history human movement data.
