(CHIP) Start HAP on Reboot
This page has instructions on how to start HAP-NodeJS during boot, on your CHIP!
Ensure your HAP-NodeJS directory is /home/chip/HAP-NodeJS... If you used my video to install, you should be fine.
The first command you want to run is: cd ~
This command returns you to your home directory.
The second command you want to run is: sudo npm install forever -g
This command starts the installation process. This can take 5-10 minutes. If it takes longer, reboot your CHIP
The third command you want to run is: sudo nano /etc/rc.local
This command opens nano and allows you to edit the rc.local file
Now, you want to add code before the "exit 0" line. Add this line before "exit 0":
forever start /home/chip/HAP-NodeJS/BridgedCore.js
Be sure to change BridgedCore.js to Core.js if you are using Core.js. If you don't know what Core.js is, you can ignore this step. This tells CHIP to start HAP-NodeJS at startup
Save and exit the rc.local file once you are done. Then, reboot your CHIP and HAP-NodeJS should automatically start!
