Illumination Automation

With Illumination Automation you will be able to control how much light your plants get. To use it you need:

  • Phytolamp
  • Smart Plug
  • Illumination Sensor

Smart Plug and Illumination Sensor must be added to Home Assistant

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/airalab/robonomics-smarthome.git

Configuration

You need Home Assistant access token. To get it open your profile in the lower left corner:

profile

In the end of the page find Long-Lived Access Tokens and press create token. Save it somewhere, you will not be able to see it again.

token

After you got token, you need to fill illumination_config.yaml file:

nano robonomics-smarthome/python_scripts/automations/illumination/illumination_config.yaml

The template you can find in the illumination_config_template.yaml:

access_token: 
dli: 17000000
lamp_coefficient: 12.9
light_socket_id: 
sensor_id:

Where access_token is your token from Home Assistant, dli is daily rate of micromoles, lamp_coefficient is a coefficient to convert lux to micromoles/m^2*sec (it depends on the type of your lamp, 12.9 is for lamps with blue-red spectrum). light_socket_id and sensor_id are entity ids of your smart plug and illumination sensor, you can find it in Home Assistant.

Run

Firstly, build the docker image:

cd robonomics-smarthome/python_scripts/automations/illumination
docker build -t illumination-automation .

Then run the container:

docker run -t -d --restart always --name illumination-automation -v illumination-automation:/data --network host illumination-automation

You can see logs with:

docker logs illumination-automation -f
