IoTDoorController

A collection of software used to utilize IoT devices to control 433MHz based door control systems.

Getting Started

ToDo: Add a Intoduction to project and explaint setup process.

Software in this Repository

• Device Client
  • The Software running on the Edge device which will send the 433 MHz signals to your doors.
• IoT Central Trigger Function
  • The Function used to receive signals from the end devices and forwarding them securely to Azure IoT Central

Included Components

• Microsoft Azure - As main Cloud Environment
  • Azure Functions - Main Entrypoint for REST Clients and Connector to Azure IoT Central
    • Azure managed Identities - To connect Azure Functions and Azure IoT Central
  • Azure IoT Central - IoT AllIn One suite for Communication with the IoT End Devices
• RaspberryPi - As Test Hardware
  • .NET 6 as the current LTS version as Client App Framework

Prerequisites

You need the following prerequisites to operate the doorcontroller:

• A Raspberry Pi system which can run the latest Version of Raspberry Pi OS 11
• An Azure Subscription to host the Azure Functions in an Azure Function App

Installing

Azure Functions

The Azure Function can be deployed with the Azure Function CLI. The Setup of a managed Identity with access to the Azure IoT Central app is also neccesary.

Device Client

An installer is available to setup the device client, the Linux service and the cronjob. You can execute the installer with the following command in the Raspbian OS system as root:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abeckDev/IoTDoorController/master/DeviceClient/AbeckDev.DoorController.DeviceClient/setupDoorController.sh | bash -

Updateting

Device Client

The Device Client can be updated with a specific updater file. The usage is similiar to the installation process. The script also need to be run as root:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abeckDev/IoTDoorController/master/DeviceClient/AbeckDev.DoorController.DeviceClient/updateDoorClient.sh | bash -

Built With

• Azure Functions - Serverless Framework which receive signals from the end devices and forwarding them securely to Azure IoT Central
• Azure IoT Central - Central IoT App Plattform
• .NET 6 - The Framework used to build the Device Client software
