Plug the scared back and boot the pi

Enable ssh

sudo raspi-config (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/)

Change pass sudo raspi-config (https://www.theurbanpenguin.com/raspberry-pi-changing-the-default-users-password-and-creating-addtional-accounts/)

Install red node

(https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi)

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/raspbian-deb-package/master/resources/update-nodejs-and-nodered)

Screenshot  Then make red node run at boot as a service -> sudo systemctl enable nodered.service

Open the ui http://:1880

Install ui dashboard (red-node module)

cd ~/.node-red npm i node-red-dashboard (http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/node-red-dashboard/)

Screenshot 

To see the dashboard go to http://127.0.0.1:1880/ui/

Install applehomekit (red-node module)

https://www.hackster.io/chirila-radu/interfacing-apple-homekit-with-the-node-red-smart-home-a7ae51 sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

Screenshot  cd ~/.node-red

npm install node-red-contrib-homekit

Screenshot 

Start node-red

node-red-start  You can also setup node-red to start at boot as a service TBD

Enable serial for BT communications

Disable the console so it will not clatter the serial port to our gateway (https://hallard.me/enable-serial-port-on-raspberry-pi/)

Install the node js http rest api server

TBD

Enable NO-IP

mkdir /home/pi/noip cd /home/pi/noip wget https://www.noip.com/client/linux/noip-duc-linux.tar.gz tar vzxf noip-duc-linux.tar.gz cd noip-2.1.9-1 sudo make sudo make install

After typing “sudo make install” you will be prompted to login with your No-IP account username and password.

sudo /usr/local/bin/noip2
