Traffic light

This module will give your traffic light the color of the global status of CIMonitor.

• When there is an error status, the red light will be on
• When there is a warning status, the orange light will be on
• When there are no errors or warnings, the green light will be on

Only one light will be on at the time!

Requirements

In order to use this module, the following requirements must be present:

Raspberry-pi

You need to run either the server or module-client on a raspberry pi. Configure this module for the application running on the Raspberry pi.

pi-blaster

To control the relay board, CIMonitor requires you to have pi-blaster installed. Check the pi-blaster repository and make sure it is installed on your Raspberry pi.

relay board

You need a relay board connected to your raspberry as described in Tim de Pater's blog post. CIMonitor will use pi-blaster to control the relays though instead of the gpio api.

Configuration

To enable this module, add the module to the config/config.json:

{
    "modules": [
        {
            "name": "TrafficLight",
            "config": {
                "gpioPinRedLight": 10,
                "gpioPinOrangeLight": 11,
                "gpioPinGreenLight": 12
            }
        }
    ]
}

The config object must be configured as following:

key	required?	description
gpioPinRedLight	yes	GPIO pin number on the raspberry-pi that controls the relay board switch for the red light
gpioPinOrangeLight	yes	GPIO pin number on the raspberry-pi that controls the relay board switch for the orange light
gpioPinGreenLight	yes	GPIO pin number on the raspberry-pi that controls the relay board switch for the green light

Restart the application to enable the module.
