The different directories contain:

• configs: system configuration files that get installed on the rpi when deploying the software
• setup: scripts for creating the raspbian installation using python fabric.
• pyvi: python module which contains all the core logic (reading the measurements from the sensors, and sending them to the cloud). It also contains the main program that runs on the rpi during sensor operation.
• webserver: super simple debugging webserver, you can see the system logs and send them via email to a designated address.

Quick Start

To start a virtual sensor on a computer (and help debug the software):

1. clone this repo and cd into it
2. virtualenv env
3. source env/bin/activate
4. pip install -r REQUIREMENTS.txt
5. cd pyvi
6. python setup.py install
7. Verify the virtual.cfg file (make sure the log directory exists, set virtual = True and server to localhost)
8. Pyvi virtual.cfg
9. Check the logs on the directory you specified
10. On another console, also sourcing the virtualenv
11. python tests/server.py
