Headshot

Python script that logs the device connections in the physical router in Garaj Coworking Space to cloud.

  • It first authenticate to the Airties router, and then queries the connected WiFi devices in the network.
  • The count of the connected devices is uploaded to a table in Parse.
  • And the connectivity information is given as an output as stated in Space API
  • Space API state is updated with a weird GET call to a weird Space API endpoint.

Setup

The project is just a basic script that gets the information from the router and sends to Parse servers using ParsePy project.

sudo apt-get install python-pip
  • Install ParsePy
pip install git+https://github.com/dgrtwo/ParsePy.git
  • Install Python Requests
pip install requests
  • Clone the project.
  • Create a config.py file with the following constants:
APPLICATION_ID = ""
REST_API_KEY = ""
MASTER_KEY = ""

SPACE_API_KEY = ""

router = {
	'ip': '',
	'user': '',
	'password': ''
}
  • Add a cron job for this script to run in every X mins.

Future Work

  • Instead of just sending the number of devices, MAC Addresses can be logged.
    • To do this, last MAC Addresses can be cached (or requeried through Parse) and be compared with the new ones.
    • Then, connectivity losses and new connection will be logged.
  • Space API cached endpoint it weird. Instead, we can setup a really small endpoint (which can reside in Raspberry PI or can be a Cloud Code in Parse) that outputs reqiured Space API format.
    • That way we can output detailed information about the open/close state of the space e.g. last change timestamp, devices connected.
