Neon.HomeControl

Similar to HomeAssistant and OpenHAB, but made with .net core and ❤️ in Florence, Italy

Why

My goal is to explore the IoT world and create a completely versatile custom home management platform. The intent is not to compete with other systems, but create a good programming sandbox

Default config file

You can download here and rename in neon-config.yaml

Script engine example

To make event management easier, I created a very simple system of rules

Add named rule

add_rule("test_rule", "Weather", "entity.Temperature > 30", function(entity)  
     log_info("test", "It's hot!")
end)

States

var isTommyAtHome = {
  is_home: true
}
set_state("i_m_at_home", isTommyAtHome)

Commands system

// Turn on philip hue lights group
send_command('light_status', 'Bedroom', 'ON')

Routines

// Add new routine
add_routine('my_test_routine', function() {
  log_info("Hi from Routine")
});

// Call routine
exec_routine('my_test_routine')

Alarm system

add_alarm("test_alarm", 07,32, function()
  log_info("It's time to wake up!");
end
)

Notify action via Telegram

  setTimeout(() => {
    telegram('Hi my name is Neon');
  }, 5000);

Wake On Lan

  wake_on_lan('00:00:00:00:00:00')
